I'm just thinking about how we can get it back to like the department just we have a fridge in my department I can put it in here so I'm just thinking about how we just get it back to a department and store it and not necessarily for people to take home, but for people who need I'm thinking about us, you know, clearing for the meeting.

24 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
00:08:43.609 --> 00:09:04.499

00:10:38.819 --> 00:11:12.859
Sorry, you really appreciate it. You did say the midnight, the night before.

Have you I have wonderful how about your thought? Oh, good. Good back to be with the students again. Oh yeah. It's out my 1st class. Well, that's it. You know, that's a good thing. I even had this conversation with them about how you don't get a sense always of.

31 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
00:11:12.859 --> 00:11:42.209
Because they say, you know, every year I'm anging but they're staying about the same, you know? But then you mentioned any older is then you make a music reference or something? Oh like you start thinking of the seventies and stuff like you know we're not there yet. Yes, it's most definitely what they chew.

32 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
00:12:56.339 --> 00:13:14.909
Hello, there.

34 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
00:13:54.319 --> 00:14:23.429
It says there's supposed to be a class in it says 1200 A is this not is it 1200 A and seven. I don't know what to tell you what class is. Yeah, this says savage and associates business. I don't know what to tell you. There's not a class scheduled in here, sound meaning gotcha. It says principles of manufacturing and service systems. Yeah, we didn't really hear about that. I mean yeah it just says let me see it's been 1200 A.

35 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
00:14:23.429 --> 00:14:43.429
I wouldn't try to find somebody Confred Aaron. Well, it's almost time and NO one else so I don't know what what are you looking at here? Are you looking at that's just a picture. I know. Oh, a screenshot of of the what I found on because it says, ok. You might want to go.

36 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
00:14:43.429 --> 00:14:58.859
To the blackboard site or your record online because that was that and that changed. Could have possibly changed it because I took I took that screenshot like like earlier this morning, so maybe it did change.

37 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
00:14:58.859 --> 00:15:18.659
I hope so. It'd be complicated with the class sometimes Yeah I was very confused. I'm getting nervant. So we're gonna invite everybody to sit on this side of the room because the sound over here does get picked up, but it's not super reliable.

38 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
00:15:18.659 --> 00:15:38.659
Thanks sorry to move you. Fingers crossed. My fingers crossed everything is NO double booking. It still says it's in here I don't know. Really? Yeah, very well.

Faculty Senate President Heberle: Alright, everyone. Before we get started, if there are students here for a class, your class has been rescheduled. And I don't want to see all of you all get up and leave; I know you aren't scheduled in the class. But your class, it looks like you might be students, your class, the new classroom is outside the doorway. This is the Faculty Senate meeting today so you could stay. 

We just we are trying to keep everyone over here not just for camaraderie and closeness, but also because the sound is just better picks up better over here for the folks who are virtual. Thank you for cooperating with that and please eat as much of the snacks as possible and bring many of the snacks with you on the way outside there.

Provost McKinney: Where are the snacks? 

Faculty Senate President Heberle: They're right behind that wall, like right there. Did you miss that? We need more signage. But if anybody does have any containers nearby to take the leftovers, please do. It's the food waste. Yeah, so I think we're ready to go. Welcome to the Faculty Senate meeting of AY26-27. It's really good to see everyone in the room and to see everyone that we can see sort of online, and today we have not a super full agenda, but I think we will take most of our scheduled time. We will begin with the roll call and Dr. Sharon Barnes has agreed to take the role today. 

Senator Barnes: Should I stand up? Should I stand somewhere where folks can hear me or something? Let's just ask someone online. How well are you hearing us? Can you hear me right now?

Senator Barnes contíd: Looks like we have a quorum I can bounce with each other.

Senator Insch: But at the end of last semester, there was some weirdness with the College of Business and their elections. Karen Green resigned from Senate. Karen Green resigned from the Senate. He's now a department care. And so, we had two openings, one which was filled by on their fronts and the other one's filled by me. And I think if you check the current roster online, I think those are both reflected there already. 

Senator Barnes: And so, it's you and Diana France? 

Faculty Senate President Heberle: Okay, you got her name? Okay, thank you. 

Senator Barnes: Thank you very much.

Faculty Senate President Heberle: I deserve a cookie for that, right? I do want to say in advance that everything that I do today is address rehearsal, everything everybody else does is whatever they think it is, and everything I do is address rehearsals, so please make corrections when necessary, email me after the meeting. Whatever's necessary to get this right the next time. We do have a consent agenda and that includes the approval of our agenda if you could bring it up. Alright, so approval of our agenda and the consent agenda just says just from voting, so if there are any objections, any comments, any issues, otherwise, we will continue. There is the agenda to be approved? Give it a moment. Anybody online? All good? All right, we'll bring that back in a moment. Our next item is to approve the minutes, same thing. If there are any changes you would like to see made in the minutes or any comments, suggestions, please let us know. Otherwise, we will go ahead and without objection consider the minutes to be approved. Comments online? All right.

You want to bring the agenda back up again or do we want to keep this? I don't know what we do. What do we usually do? We share the agenda or we just do this? The agenda is pretty simple today. Okay. The next item on our agenda is our executive committee report from the faculty center executive committee.

Executive Committee Report: We've met several times over the summer, and I divided our report into several different buckets, so to speak. 1st one is what is percolating in the policy environment out there with reference to higher education. The national call to action was issued by the secretary of the Department of Education Linda Mann on 6 August. This is a revised version of the compact for higher education issued by the Trump administration in October of 2025.Discussions as to how to respond are not yet on the public national or state radar. The faculty Senate executive committee will be discussing this with President Holloway and Provost McKinney, and we would like to provide documents and whatever information we have to anyone who is interested in joining in on those campus discussions or responding individually.

If you have ideas, please, please let us know. Last year the provost set up a faculty committee by way of setting up recommendations to advise him on compliance with SP one. This committee has not met over the summer.
We'll start again in the fall, and it includes Diana France, Lynn Hammer, Robert Padillia and myself. It's not a formal setting committee. It's a request from approvals that we ask them folks to participate. There won't be, we don't know how much activity there will be, a lot of the deadlines have passed and so there's sort of moving along carefully to make sure that everything is compliant, we're all compliant.

SB 461, Senate Bill 461. This is a bill that has just been introduced in the Senate and the Ohio legislature. It is called the strengthening Ohio Civics Act. It was introduced by Senator Jerry Serino.
It would make the civic's Institutes at Ohio State University and the University of Toledo into schools with deems and give them full independence including control over the tuition and fees they bring in. The universities would be required to support these entities in the future. This bill, Senate Bill 461, has not yet been reached committee. Conversations with Senator Serino with leaders in public universities in Ohio are ongoing.

Faculty center executive committee is also discussing the implications of this, if passed for faculty and curriculum and budget distributions at the University of Toledo. Again, please inquire if you're interested in receiving relevant materials, interested in how track legislation et cetera. The time is now for involvement on these issues. Our second bucket is with the board of trustees. We sent materials, we sent with materials for this meeting the report offered by the faculty senate executive committee to the board of trustees in June. We have issued an open invitation for board of trustee members to sit in on our classes. We've heard from a couple of colleagues who are willing to have a member of the Board of Trustees come along and sit in on their class, but please email me in copy Sharon Barnes if you would like to invite a board of trustee members to your class, and we will facilitate the visit. And this will be an ongoing effort to encourage them to become more familiar with what we do on the ground. 

With student leadership, we are advocating that the Board of trustees hold meetings on campus. As far as I know now, the meetings in the fall will be held at the Alumni Center on Dorr, but we hope in the spring perhaps to see them meeting again. And finally, we are exploring the appointment of a senate representative to the Board of Trustees as a non-voting.

I don't know how I organized that but never mind. Parking, two committees 

There has been progress made over the summer, so you'll be happy to hear two committees have informed under the leadership of Josh, who's kind of Audio affairs at UToledo. Our reps on those committees, Andrew Misscowe and Mitchell Howard, thank you very much wherever you are in the world right now. We'll keep you informed about the progress of those committees. As I understand it, they have met, gotten organized, they'll be meeting monthly at least. So, the first committee is the parking advisory committee as per the park UToledo contract. This committee will take complaints, suggestions and comments from all who use UToledo parking spaces. The process for communication with this committee has not yet been reported so we don't have information about that. If anyone does who's in this room, it would be welcome. The second committee will disperse funds from a UT budget line, the budget line, for subsidizing smaller departments and units if and when they require parking for a student centered or community facing event. The second committee has been reported on a few times in the UT news over the summer. I recently filled out the event form for my own events. FYI, the request for a subsidy is at the very end of the form requesting the subsidy. So, the form is mostly about just requesting parking spaces and figuring out how much it would cost and then the request for subsidy is at the very end. Importantly, these requests have to be filled out five weeks before your event happens. So, the FSCC considers this to be a good start, but by no means the end of the work necessary to make parking more accessible to our community and processes less cumbersome for individuals who work and go to school at UToledo, so more to be revealed and done. 

Number three bucket is Senate specific work about Senate itself as an institution on campus. Now these initiatives that I'm discussing here are in no particular order of priority. Continue to integrate faculty into recruitment and enrollment discussions and activities, offering ideas, taking initiative to bring UToledo to students and bring students to UToledo. We intend to conduct a faculty survey on service obligations. Pro host is offered support for this. We've made very clear it will be a senate led survey that the pro host is eager to offer some support.
We're hoping to start the survey, process, designing a survey and conducting it in January. The survey will be conducted in light of declining faculty members and increasing service obligations to assess whether the service load is as equitably distributed as possible and to explore changes to make service more visible and relevant in tenure and promotion cases. 

Number three dean evaluations: Pharmacy, JHCASE and Libraries are the deans are up for evaluation, meaning that the places permanent deans for two years. We hope to complete these evaluations by the end of fall. Now I made the mistake of reading the Constitution as part of my homework, that article two paragraphs A through T include the provost and vice provosts among those persons about whose performance faculty Senate should solicit input from the faculty in accordance with university policy and legal regulations on the performance of the provost vice provosts and deems at least once every two years.

Including those who serve in these positions on an interim basis for longer than two years. So we will be looking into conducting those evaluations as well when the time comes up over the next couple of years. So we're also working, and I just have to again thank Lynn Hammer and Rob Padilla for the work they do as the co-chairs of and everybody that's on the undergraduate curriculum committee because they just did every year it's a, it's a huge workload but last year was particularly huge and some of the issues that came up were about the workflow and the due diligence up and down the workflow and making it run more smoothly. So this is going to be a real Senate priority this semester because our core work is about the curriculum and about making sure that not just in the system it's correct and right, but for the students it's correct and right and clear. So there's a potential, e.g., for trainings on Kim, which many have reported has just gotten more and more complicated and unclear over the years. So, we're just going to be taking ideas as to how to improve that curriculum flow. And one of those ideas is to have the colleges perhaps be able to have their deadlines set earlier so that the Senate doesn't get the wash in an undoable workload in March and 4th, et cetera, things like that. So improving the flow of the curriculum. 

We will also be continuing efforts to enhance communication with the Office of finance. And our budget committee led by Margaret Tublind has been leading this effort for the last year and we'll continue this year. Thanks to that entire committee, thanks to all the committees. These are simply sort of things that came to the front last year and we're going to continue to work on these questions for this coming year. 

So finally, we will have the, you know, the usually list of people that we need to hear from as Senate come before us. The provost has already mentioned a few folks that need to come before us and report back on activities at the academic affairs. But we also have decided to invite individual faculty members to come and just give a pricey of they're research, or their teaching or whatever it is that they are really excited about in their world to Senate for, you know, up to 15 20 min. We already have a volunteer for the next meeting, and I haven't checked in with them recently. I'm not going to say the name, but we have to have a volunteer for the 1st one, but we'll be reaching out if you're interested, if you know somebody that is interested, we hope to do this at least three times over the AY 26-27. Inform each other of our work and to be able to engage on that level of senate. Now we also encourage everyone to suggest folks to come to address Senate. We are, as we did last year and in past years, trying to get the materials to you in a very timely fashion so that he can review them and come prepared so that we're not just hearing presentations of powerpoints and send it. So we are really working at making this more of an engagement rather than just a presentation with a short time for Q and A. And so, I just wanted to let you know that we're still working on that and the timeline is, yeah, so we're still working on that. 

Are there any questions or concerns or discussion about the faculty center executive committee? And would anyone else on the executive committee like to add anything? Subtract anything? Tell me I got it all wrong. And I'm done with that. I think it's your turn. Would you like please come up? 

Provost McKinney: Thank you Renee. So this is a good crowd. 

Faculty Senate President Heberle: Good food? 

Provost McKinney: You know, and I volunteered. I'll continue, I said that I'll provide wine and beer.

Faculty Sente President Heberle: The meeting starts at 4 pm. Because if you're serious about that, I don't know being rules that I would be.

Provost McKinney: Even Scott's looking back like there may be rules, but I donít know <laughter>. Wow, very good. Well, and I did email Renee earlier today and I said, you know, as I was putting my comments together and then I ran across like oh, well we need an update or report on this. When Dean Gregory came in, I said, well, I've already volunteered you and I saw Dean Ritter. She's over on the side that we're not supposed to say. And I'm volunteering folks to give reports so you won't have to listen to me. 

But let me start with yesterday when I sent out my Monday message, I told you that a triumph, a Simple Syllabus triumph, and I'm not going to go into all the details because I believe that Jean is going to give some numbers and updates. But let me just give my thanks to our faculty, our department chairs, our deans, the entire team. Actually, you proved me wrong, because behind the scenes I was saying things like there is no way we will have 100 % of all our faculty producing 2200 or so syllabi by the first day of the semester. I was behind the scenes. 

President Holloway: It's not what you said to me. 

Provost McKinney: In public, I was trying to make it fun, and you know we had competitions and we had winners of the early bird competition. 

I don't know if we're going to and I was told not to announce; we had the college that reached the hundred percent before, you know, the first college to reach 100 % gets a pizza party and you know we were doing all of that cheerleading and boy, you produced. And that is no small fee. There's a number of things today as I was looking at my notes and I put them in the bucket or the category as heavy lists and you produced and I must say I'm particularly grateful to our simple syllabus team led by Jean. You know led and with Alana Malik, Patma Aluaye and support by Angela and Scott, I would just show up and say, okay, where are we today? And they would say, oh, we're at 70, we're at 80, we're at 85, we're at 90, we're at it's like go, go, go. So, so thank you. For all of you that participated now, I guess it was in a meeting yesterday where I got the updates and I said, ok, what's the messaging plan? What's the timeline? And I said, well, we won't roll it out yet. We'll wait a few weeks. You folks, you all know we got to do it again. We got to do it again for the spring semester, but we'll wait just a little bit and then we'll start again. 

Now I did say yesterday maybe we won't keep doing the prizes and pizza parties and things but maybe we will. 

Faculty Senate President Heberle: Maybe we'll have beer and wine. 

Provost McKinney: Okay. Also, I would encourage you, as I did yesterday, I want you to maybe access the new faculty directory of our 67 new faculty. And I encouraged you to look at the BIOS and of your new colleagues and find connections and reach out. And I'll also have another event to invite you where you can meet our new faculty. I did want to report, and you can, some of you can see my handwritten notes there, as I went through the directory, just over 70 % of those 67, just over 70 % are tenure, tenured track faculty. We've had discussions in terms of our commitment to return to the hiring of ranked faculty, and we've seen the numbers shift somewhat over time the past several years and I said that's a commitment. And we're going to continue with that commitment. Welcome new faculty rest of us, let's get to know our new faculty and welcome them. And you will be able to get to know them if you join us, and we're going to pop it in the link, the RSVP to our ready set rocket, a week from this coming Friday, 11 September, from 2-4 pm over at the Student Union Ingram room. Again, the RSVP will be in the chat where you can RSVP. And again, prizes and music and food and exciting raffles and culminating with exciting remarks from President Holloway, welcoming us all back. And really that event, you know, we had discussions in our faculty development team in the Provost Office and I said, you know, those moments when we can bring people together and we can get to know each other and again our new faculty, one another, and I'm not going to step on other remarks that you might hear. I'm not going to go to enrollment numbers and I'm not going to, but, as we celebrate our momentum, please join us at that event coming up ok I think that's all on those sheets. 

A number of other updates in August, we received full accreditation for our new doctoral program in nursing practice the MP for nurse anesthesia, a DM a doctoral program that took about six months were able to get approvals for that program that normally, if you start from scratch, takes about five years. And students enrolled in that program this fall right now. And then the plans are in place too. I was talking to.
Some folks I said okay, so to double the triple and again I won't get into numbers of students enrolled in that program continuing next summer.
The only DMP now in the region it came over from Lord's of course, and the team that works so diligently in doing in six months what normally takes five years, the former Dean Mark Merrick, Dean John Locks, Jack Newsom, general Council. Angela Poprocky in terms of leading the way.
This is another one of those heavy lifts where I show up every day and I just ask for updates and, and it's like wow, we're doing it. 

Lastly that I checked on our tracker, this fall in terms of the Lourdesí teaching-out about a hundred and 70 students. A hundred and 70 students came to us now at one point I was doing calculations, I think that would put us over 50 %. Iíll have to go back and look at my numbers of the available students, so if you took the 600 and some more students that were there, that then you subtract for those that graduated since the closure of, of Lords University and the remaining are 170 that transferred that chose to transfer to University of Toledo. They could have gone anywhere, and, and the teams that were in place in making that happen. Thank you. Thank you.
Another heavy lift, and I think was the end of May, the middle to the to the end of May that we heard from HLC that our five-year continued accreditation was approved, complete. We completed the assurance process and I'm coding with NO recommended monitoring. That's accreditation link.
Go for full bill of health and then we can, I know I'm joking now again we can sort of let down because we've got five years, which means in about a year, in about a year we will start to gear up again for our full ten-year accreditation for the 3132 cycles. And I know I asked Angela for the list of the task force, the team of about 35 or 40 folks that were involved in that process. So thank you, thank you, thank you. We will, this is what I was emailing Renee earlier today. We will have updates on the amazing work and I'll at the you know we'll put them in sequence in the next meetings coming up on our gen Ed core curriculum task force, that Dean Redder and Dean Gregory are heading up and they will provide an update to faculty Senate. Our AI task force will provide an update to Faculty Senate. Regarding the building of our Ascend program, we will provide an update to Faculty Senate so you you're all up all of these efforts, initiatives that are involving faculty in terms of where we're going, and what we're building there. Engagement with our students, I would encourage you tomorrow on Centennial Mall, please be there if you can for the campus involvement fair, food trucks, music, and our new incoming students. We will welcome them and as they get engaged with what's happening on campus.

This is on the list because I put it in my teaching folder to remind myself this semester student participation tracker, that you need to complete the attendance reports by Census Day, which is Monday 14 September. So please go into my UT portal and complete that information. A couple of other quick updates: Bookstore, our contract with Barnes and Noble will expire next June. We've released an RFP process to select a vendor to provide textbook and Spirit Wear on campus. This process is changing because we will NO longer have a physical location for textbooks. Textbooks will be sold electronically online, no physical storefront. Textbook delivery will happen through the package delivery window on the first floor of the Student Union. The RFP process has involved faculty representation of that call has already gone out. 

Faculty Senate President Heberle: We have volunteers who will continue from last year and FSEC will discuss Friday about that. 

Provost McKinney: Very good. Very good Renee. You know more than I do, so thank you. Yeah, that goes without saying, doesn't it? 

Faculty Senate President Heberle: No. 

Provost McKinney: Thank you. Another update, I'll gauge the room here. We'll see the reactions. We are replacing web-based faculty activity reporting, formerly known as faculty 180. And again, this process has faculty representation in collecting the new system. The update here is we've begun working with Watermark on the transition will continue working during the fall semester to transfer faculty activity data from the current interfolio system to Watermark, setting up review templates, workflows, engaging early adopters, testing the system. We anticipate that the end of the implementation will be completed by early next semester, February or so, with training then to begin March or so. Then faculty will transition to watermark starting in the fall of 27th. So that's coming and I will take any questions and then probably divert them to the people who know the specific answers but, yes? 

Dr. AndrewÖ: So the two programs talk to each other? 

Vice Provost Molitor: The two programs talk to each other, so we're not going to start with ourselves. Correct, we will export the data from interfolio and import it into Watermark. And there's also features in Watermark that will allow you to take your PDF CD and have it read it through AI and upload activities. So for new faculty or for existing faculty, we'll have an easy way for you to get your activities. 

Senator Barnes: Are you looking for volunteers? 

Vice Provost Molitor: Yeah, we will be reaching out and to get people who are willing to serve as early adopters, so that will be coming probably in late October early November. 

Senator Barnes: Thank you. 

Provost McKinney: Very good.

Senator Lawrence: Patrick Lawrence from Geography and Planning. On simple syllabus, has the state mandated SB1 link gone live that is accessible? Yep. I was just curious. When did that go live? 

Provost McKinney: It was actually last Wednesday, right? 

Senator Lawrence: But it had to be live yesterday. Is that link the simple syllabus portal that we can access outside of? 

Vice Provost Molitor: Yeah, so if you want to see what the public sees, you either have to be logged out because there's a little icon that has a face in the upper right corner and you may be logged in and so you don't by default see the syllabus library, you see your to do list. You can either log out or there's a little icon that's on the left side and I think it's second one or third one down that says syllabus library, and you click on that and that's what the public will see. 

Dr. JeanneÖ: But the way that everyone can access it, including the public, but they go to the home page of University of Toledo, and you click on the menu. I believe it's academic. 

Vice Provost Molitor: Academic affairs. 

Dr. JeanneÖ: Academics, yeah. And it is the second link down that takes everybody over. 

Provost McKinney: It says Syllabus library. 

Senator Lawrence: And we, I don't want to, I'm really hesitant to say this. Have we checked to see if they're all there? Because I actually did this yesterday and it had folders by college and it had the search engine and everything---

Vice Provost Molitor: But we've been spot checking. 

Senator Lawrence: I'm just curious cause I went and ran my department, and I wasn't seeing just some things. 

Vice Provost Molitor: Let me know. I'll take a look at that.

Provost McKinney: Good question because my check was scrolling, scrolling, scrolling and I was like wow, look at all of this. 

Senator Lawrence: I'll take another look. It may have been still being built out. 

Dr. Martin Ohlinger: Yeah, I think some of them are still being uploaded. Like for Pharmacy college, we have twelve still posted and there should be like 70 or 80 something, so, there's still some uploading that needs to be done. 

Vice Provost Molitor: Yeah, again, if you find ones that are missing, let us know. 

Dr. Martin Ohlinger: Yes. I'll catch up with you offline after. Thanks. 

Provost McKinney: Very good. Thank you all. 

Faculty Senate President Heberle: Thank you. I'm remissing not reminding everyone, we said in the welcome letter to senators that we had some new processes that were taking notes in a different way. But if you could say your name because the record of the meeting is being recorded and that will be made available to senators so please say your name. Thank you, 
Dr. Olinger, reminding me of that. Say your name before you speak if you could remember. Mitchell McKinny. That's very good Mitchell. And next we have Ginny Cusino who I'm excited to hear from, who is the Director of Teaching and Learning. 

Dr. Jeanne Cusino: So I do have a few, even though I know we I just heard that we're trying to move away from slides. So where's a good place for me to stand? Go ahead. Is that am I in the right order? Because I don't have to follow president Holloway? Because that's a tough act to follow. Okay. 

Faculty Senate President Heberle: Oh, actually you are supposed to be following. I thought I would just do. Oh, I'm sorry. You was sitting right in front of me, so I just said come on up. 

Dr. Jeanne Cusino: Fine. Iíll be quick. Okay, thank you everybody for inviting me today. I'm Jean Casina, the director of the teaching and learning center and that's great where we're supposed to be. Thank you. And so even though I say, I think, you know, Promos McKinney kind of gave, you know, the numbers and the most important one there is a hundred percent, which is almost unbelievable about all those. And there are probably, you know, still a few bumps and, you know, bugs and little things that we're going to be sorting out, but we are, you know, still watching that email and responding that and also you know planning for the future and these kinds of things, but right now it's really just an opportunity for me to thank all of you because I started working on this project with Angela, back, what was it? October, and then we next you know Scott's on board and everybody else then we just keep adding people as we go. And throughout this process, I've talked to so many of you that are here in person, online, not with us today. The more engagement that we've ever had, we want to keep that going with the... But really thank the faculty because you are the ones that did it and made it happen. You know, also the chairs and beans. I know that the faculty Senate is made up of faculty, but this gives me an opportunity to thank you especially because way back in October, November of last year, it was undergraduate curriculum committee, ad hoc committees that worked with us to help write with some of the language on there, you know, around things like the AI policy classroom recording policy when people said, well, where did this come from? You guys helped us with that. And it was, you know, really, really much appreciated right down to even as we got closer and closer, you know, Renee here reaching out and saying, is there anything faculty site that can do? This was not something the university asked for. Certainly, it wasn't anything anybody gave us money or human resources for, you know, not yet as I said when I wanted to, you know, you wanted to work with faculty in the teaching side. It was not my life on my aim to manage the syllabus, let alone something like this, so just wanted to say a huge thank you for your patience, your persistence, and your support. You know, everybody who loves it, everybody who hates it and everybody in between, you still pull it together, so thank you. Now you may have noticed that I've started calling this the Teaching and learning center, formerly known as the Center of excellence in Teaching and learning. And why so this is sort of our official really, we've done a bit of a soft launch, this is our official launch of the new name Teaching and Learning Center TLC. And the reason we point to that is even though we love the idea of excellence or not trying to be less excellent, I assure you. We had heard over the years that it's a mouthful and people would get confused, is it the seal? Is it the settle, you know, for a brief moment in time it was the cattle that did not much stuff. You know, and so overall we decided.

But let's just simplify it a little bit here and also make it a little easier and you'll sort of roll off the tongue easier to remember, and we kind of like the idea of now doing teaching and learning with a little bit of TLC. So we have that. Don't try not to be too cutesy, but it's generally catchy, I think. So we have a new name. Same but we have the same commitment, but we also have some bigger aspirations. We have been doing a lot of things behind the scenes, particularly related to things like some of those HLC requirements that we've had. We've had to be able to more and more of these kinds of you know governmental things that we've had to attend to and sort of stuff like that. And over these years, we have also weathered the storm of budgets, you know, which I want to say are up and down, but for most of this has been down and I'm just sort of pleased to report that we've been getting a lot more support, a lot more prioritization, and we hope to actually, you know, really, really, keep the sort of the positive momentum that we have going and expanding our services for you. Oops, I lost our slide there a little bit. We're looking to see what is going on. Well I can keep on talking, so we don't have to actually have a visual of it, but obviously, you know, our mind, you know, our main mission is supporting you and your teaching, particularly practical support, things in the classroom, and in the online environment although a lot of the online support. She's going through UT online, but we are really, really good partners and we work together to help you in any way that you're teaching. We also are doing more in the area of TA training for a few years now we've been working with college graduate studies and doing their annual TA training, and we'll be doing that coming up here in just a couple of weeks. So supporting them around professionalism and ethics and some of the things that they're going to be doing, but also, you know, building on that relationship with graduate studies to bring in more teaching assistance into some of our programming and also maybe some specialized programming just for them we've been working on doing things like meeting them for coffee and those types of things too because theyíre doing so much teaching for us, so many important things. And one of the number one thing that I hear when people come to us, as professors, is that nobody gave me any help when I was a TA. You know, nobody told me how to teach. And so, we want to make, you know, bring them in as much as possible. An overall community, really trying some of the things that we do into more generalized faculty development and partnerships with you all. So, we have some you know a number of exciting things that are coming up, but if you could go forward. The ones I want to focus on today is really to build off on something you've been hearing a lot about from really everywhere from President Holloway. Certainly, you've just got a nice email about this, about the university tackling AI and higher education. And I really, you know, appreciated the tone of that email because we have everything from amazing adopters to absolute rejection to skeptical, curious, and so we want to kind of meet faculty wherever you are on that and help support you. You can figure out what works for you, not tell you what to do, not say you're going to have to do this or this is the best way because it's really, really going to change depending on your discipline. And obviously it goes without saying that technology is outpacing a lot of the things that people sort of try to do to kind of mitigate some of it. So we have some really, really cool things if I do so myself coming up related to those AI initiatives, one of which is a reading circle, formerly known as a book club, but they're called reading circles now because it's way more exciting and marketable. The QR code if you're interested in signing up for the reading circle is right on here. I don't want to inundate you with too many emails, but you'll be getting some of these coming, you know.

Starting this week for a variety of these kinds of things to sign up. But with the sort of our inaugural reading circle, we're looking for about twelve, we have a maximum of twelve participants to actually come together to read, discuss, and debate the book teaching with AI by Jose Antonio Boeing and see Edward Watson. Maybe some of you might be familiar with him, he's going to know as the naked professor, he's done some really cool stuff over the years. This has been sort of been one of the really, really best-known books on teaching with AI right now. This is this, second edition of it. Some of you may have already even kind of read the 1st one. This is the newer one that's out. But if you sign up, obviously totally free, but for our twelve willing participants, we're going to give you a copy of the book and we're just going to get together three times this semester. Our kickoff will be 28 September and just to talk about it, you know, the pros and the cons and those kinds of things. So, we're, you know, at least sort of get that, you know, get some conversations going and then maybe start building out from there where we go next. We also are very excited, and I wanted to announce our AI teaching certificate. This is something that the teaching center and the UT online instructional designers work really, really hard to put together and I'm really proud of this product. It's if you call it product, but we have an end result, if you will. But it's a three week online. The course that you'll take through UT online. It'll be part of their pathway program if you're working on a master's in online teaching certificate that we have or you can just earn the individual certificate. But it is something you expect to put in over three weeks, put in about an hour or two a day on, and we'll be facilitated by one of our actually a couple of our instructional designers and we piloted it this summer, so we had a small group of Promos McKinney was in there. Scott Molitor was in there Scott Holler, and they thought it was pretty cool. So, I don't know if that's an endorsement for you, but it's the best one I have. They are already signing up. I know it will be limited, I don't know how many either going to be able to offer if they'll be able to offer another one this fall. If you don't get in this fall, the plan is to rerun it in the spring. But it's a neat kind of thing that talks about technology. There's also a section on ethics and what to do with, you know, about even some of the pushbacks you may get actually from your own students about things like data center, data centers and some of those. These kinds of things. So it covers a variety of things in about three weeks. I'd say very, very proud of that, so please go to UToledo online if you're interested in signing up for that. They did send out something, I think it's the end of last week or earlier this week on that. We're also putting together a faculty showcase around teaching and AI. This will be in November. Stay tuned for more details on that. We're kind of partnering with Great Lakes AI week on that and ours will focus prima primarily on teaching and we maybe tapping or asking some of you to perhaps present some of the really great things that you're doing in your classrooms on that. So that's something to look forward to. That will be again open to all instructors, including adjuncts, including TAs, and I also want to say that. Because, well it should go without saying sometimes it's important to say that, you know. And it maybe if you're not teaching yourself, but you have TAs that would be useful, we'd love you to send them to this. One of our something we're very excited then about is I just mentioned Jose Antonio Bowen, the author of this book. We are working on bringing him in to the university in person on 29 January to do an interactive faculty workshop. So please save the date. We're still making arrangements on the final stuff, you know, all around that but that is sort of our agreed date for that. This will be open to everybody, whether you're in the book club or not in the book club, these kinds of things but there's, you know, hopefully you'll be able to get other copies maybe floating around or sharing and getting copies of that book if you're interested, but we're going to have him come and then work with the faculty to talk through some of these things with you. So we're excited about that. Look, basically looking at mostly like a half day full day of programming around that. And then kind of last sort of last but not least, we're working on an online teaching toolkit that will be available in 2047 through our website, putting things on there that would might be resources for things that you might be able to use in your classroom, maybe some of the UPS things like up to date information on where we are as far as plagiarism checkers or you know AI checkers and those kinds of things and unfortunately for some folks, how poorly they are working, why we don't necessarily recommend those, and sort of general topics and articles and resources that you can use. We're building that out right now through our teaching center websites. It's a lot of AI and a little bit of time but we'll have, you know, plenty of other programming, things like that, but just a short little bit to talk to you about today. I really wanted to sort of focus on that one thing. So, you know, please, please, please always feel free to reach out. Again, you know, I don't want this to just be the simple syllabus machine, you know. I love, that was the one thing that I did really enjoy is hearing from everybody and then you know us being able to respond to you. But you know, definitely, you know, we're always here for your teaching questions. 

New ideas that you want to kick around. How can we sort of do this? Challenges that you're having in your course, if you have a difficult student or maybe you're having some issues with attendance or a student engagement, we're also maybe looking to try to get some programming around that as well as student mental health and wellness. So we're working on those kinds of things for right now, so we do hear you about those things. But don't necessarily wait until we have a program. If you have an issue that we can help you with, please, please, please reach out. And your professional goals too. You know, maybe you are somebody who's going from faculty member to chair, maybe somebody who goes going to chair back to faculty, you're like, why did I used to do this? Also things around tenure, tenured track or lectures putting together professor, teaching of narratives, those kinds of things, anything that we can help you with that. And I always sort of say if I can't help you, I'm going to try to find you, you know, the people who can. We, we view ourselves not as a one stop shop, but so again we do one on one teaching support, we do have private consultations as. they buy private, confidential, I mean we're not going to tell your colleagues, your chair, your dean, or any of those kinds of things, but I always do put that little caveat because heaven forbidden somebody says something like what I really want to do is, you know, something violent or something like that. So that's off the table. If it's by required by law attorney, you want to have to turn you in. But other than that private, I hate to have to say that, but this is the world we live in unfortunately, right? So we're here for those kinds of things to say providing workshops, conversations, disciplined specific programming, if there's something that your department could use as far as you're interested in or you're going up for accreditation, like to show some teaching things, professionalism things. Do this fairly regularly. You need a little bit of lead time on that. We can put together something and work with you to meet the needs of your department or college. We create course design, we do our course design institutes, but are also happy to work on course design around the year, resources, teaching toolkits. And lastly, you know, growth. We are really trying to take a lifespan addition approach to teaching here. We do, we are basically the folks that help run new faculty orientation through academic affairs and administration. We just met all those great new, you know, not just researchers but teachers here as well and we're really working to not just do a day and a half, but keep that going and we have built in check ins for them all through the semester in the middle and the end and these kinds of things to really sort of integrate them and not just sort of say, here's your information, goodbye and good luck. I'm already working there, and working on even some great social things too, like, President Holloway hosted a breakfast for them where they could not only meet him and some of our provost staff, but talk to each other and really sort of have that sort of social bonding right from the get-go. And we know just from the past when they have those opportunities to network and meet each other early on, that they're, we're much more likely to retain them here at the university. So thank you for that. Again, TA training. Thing and just support for you at all career stages. The name keeps changing, but the email stays the same. So, and I kind of think maybe I'm going to kind of end up doing that, I can't promise for that, but anytime you need to do that, need to reach out, you can use that email, you can also email me directly and I'll be sure to.

Thank you so much for this time. I hope I didn't go too far over, or I don't know if anybody has any quick questions or we have time, but again, thanks everybody for the simple syllabuses. It was amazing, so thank you. 

Faculty Senate President Heberle: Thank you, Jeannie. So, I have completely messed up the agenda, so like I said, first rehearsal and maybe I'll get it right next time. Iím just trying to keep everybody on their toes so we're going to hear from President Holloway next and then happy to defer the floor to you. 

The University of Toledo President, Dr. Holloway: So, thank you and I said three things I want to touch on today and one of them that there's always fight up there are kind of where we are on strategic thinking strategic planning. I'll say a little bit about enrollment because I know if I don't, people ask, well, tell me about enrollment might as well do that. But really I want to start with a thank you. Thank you for serving on faculty Senate for those of you who are new to faculty Senate. Thank you for taking on this, this important role for those of you who've been serving for a while. Thank you for your continued patience and effort. I know it's another thing to do. But it really is important and I know that the provost and myself value hearing from you guys. So, a lot of faculty here, hear a great resource for us and hear about what's going on, what's important, what's matter, what matters, I know Renee will tell me it's parking. And that's all good. And so, I'll go ahead and well actually I'll let you decide, do you want to hear about enrollment 1st? Do you want to hear about the strategic plan 1st? Look, that's a hard choice. Enrollment. I hear, I think you're actually to hear about enrollment first? Otherwise, it'll be you sitting there through the whole thing like what's happening? Okay, so we are 14 days from yesterday with 14 days from census. And so between now and census, numbers will change, and total numbers for the university will change by something on
In the order of 200. So, we're not done yet. There are still students being enrolled and those things are still going on. But, sorry about new undergraduate students, so just new students at the undergraduate level students in degree programs, kind of our, our regular undergraduate students. Domestic students up a little bit over 3 %, and so positive 3 % in, in new students. We have not done that in quite a while. That's a, that's a that's a good thing. Where you'll see a challenge as international students who are down considerably, that is not a surprised to. Overall, if we look at new undergraduate students, we're up about 1.9 %. At this point in time. And so that's pretty good. The number I really look at is that 3 % are so on domestic students because that's the that's the pipeline of students we can, where we have control. International students at this point in time, we don't have control. We had international students apply, we admitted them, they are not getting these. That's a major challenge. We don't control that, but where we have control, we're seeing that increase in, in new students. That's, that's a good thing. Graduate students, if we look at domestic graduate studentsí considerable growth, something over 6 % for new graduate students, international students down. Again, same story. We put the two together. We have a lot more international graduate students in the typical year. So, if we look, if we look at the whole thing for graduate students it's more like a percent or so up. And so, again, main story, new students in our regular programs are up and increase in new students, and that's new students transfer students as kind of all the new student categories that we, that we work with. If we look, kind of overall put all of those together, domestic students, domestic new students up about 4%, overall students domestic and international, about 1.7 %. Again, we have not done that in a long time. Seen an increase in that new student. We will not see the total number of students increase, maybe about flat at the moment at something like negative .7 %. So that'll come in someplace close to flat. That is totally expected. There's NO way that we'd bring in a sufficient number of new students in one cycle to to change that. Nevertheless, yeah, the positive story is the work that everybody here has done, that you have done, that our enrollment folks have done, that Scott's office has done working in graduate studies, has produced a class an incoming class of new students that is showing growth. And it's showing really strong growth where we control it, which is the domestic students. So again, I think that's a very positive story. Looking at our other student types, high school students in our classes and other kinds of guest students that's through the roof 22 % increases. A big chunk of that is high school students. Another big chunk is other kinds of guest students who we have with this. So again, the enrollment story is actually a very good one. We are seeing that growth in your students. That's what we expected to see this year. Our enrollment trend overall is exactly what we expected. It's what we budgeted for. So we're kind of right, right where we expect it to be in that regard. So, all awesome. Any questions about that? Again, nothing's final until census but again between now and then sort of 200-ish, it's about one 70 to 200 student shifts we'll see in those. That shouldn't change any of those trends that I just talked about with changing numbers.

Okay, so where are we going? So I want to talk about a strategic planning exercise effort that we've gone through, you know, a major driver for this, this was not a direction I was going during most of last year. What I was doing last year was talking to people, putting out ideas, about where we might go. So I really started to kind of doing an informal strategic planning exercise by getting, putting ideas out and getting feedback. What wasn't actually planning to write it up into a formal plan like the document we sent out, but the Board of Trustees really wanted a formal plan. They want to see a formal plan before they make some decisions about where they're, where they will get approve investments. And so, we said, okay. So Iíve done a lot of talking, heard a lot of feedback on ideas. Let's go ahead and put it together into our formal document to write it down. This has gone through a few rounds of feedback. It's been a draft version of it that has been seen by the Trustees a couple of times, not exactly in this form, but all of the ideas in it. We shared it with the faculty standard executive committee. We've shared it with my cabinet and folkís ancillary as well. It's been shared with the Student Government who've also seen and given feedback. Each of those iterations made changes to it, and so that the document we sent out pretty, pretty, pretty well done, I think and we're going to show you really just a kind of a high-level synopsis of it. So, plan called Growing for Toledo, next slide. 

Why now? Why, why a plan like this? And so few things we have to recognize, you all know this, we're in a time where there is significant structural changes going on in this higher ed and academic medical centers. Not all of it is under our control, not all of the things we're driving, but there are things driving us. There are either demographic pressures, there are changing expectations for what higher education can or should be. There are different views on what higher education can or should be more so than there were in the past. We've seen tremendous funding instability in research where the federal government is a very different kind of partner than it used to be. In healthcare, we're seeing really significant changes in the way that health care funding works, particularly from the federal government and healthcare economics always a challenge are once again in flux. We're also in a region that has considerable needs and considerable opportunities. And so when I look at the region of Northwest Ohio I see promise. I don't see if there are challenges yet, but on a whole really what I see is promise and opportunity. And so, we're really in that space where we need to make some significant efforts because as many of you have heard me say, I believe we have a promise to this region when from our very founding, we were founded to help this region grow and thrive. Doesn't mean we can't do more than that, but it does mean I literally do wake up every day and wonder how we helping this region grow and thrive? This is the region that supports us. How are we supporting this region? And so this plan is built around mission driven growth. More mission means doing the things that we should be doing to help this region. It also has profound implications for finances because of the way that higher ed is funded in Ohio. Growth is the one clear path to growing resources. We can't grow resources by raising tuition because we're not allowed to. We can't grow resources by charging our patients more because most of our patients in fact are fixed payers, their, their Medicare Medicaid, and that's mission. We don't want to say, hey, we're not going to take care of those patients who are Medicare and Medicaid patients, but that's allÖ 25 % of who we treat. And so, for us growth is a strategy towards more resources, but it's also more importantly growth towards more mission. More students taught, more patients served, more knowledge period. So this is focused on the growth. Next slide. Very top-level numbers here, but sort of, you know, where do we want to be in 2032? About 16000 fall enrollment senses for fall enrollment. What that $16000 enrollment does is put us on a path to being classified as a large institution. We will not be classified as the large institution at 2032. There's no plausible path for that to happen, but we can get there in about seven years, maybe if we get on a good growth path at about 3 % a year. What did we just do in new students at the undergraduate level? Little over 3 %? So it's not crazy. And so trying to get towards growing towards a large institution, and by the way, large metropolitan unit diversities across the country are growing. University, the public universities that are growing are flagships and large public metropolitan universities like us. So really want to be on that growth path. A hundred million dollars in research expenditures, we're currently about $7570.6 million, and so. Our R-1 universities across the country grow at a rate of about 6.2 %. This is a little less, so again, quite reachable within our challenges or within our opportunities and about 1400 attributed lives. You're wondering what the heckcent attributed life, and this is a healthcare term. It's really how many unique people are in your health system are you serving in your health system in a, in a given period of time? We're currently about a hundred and a hundred thousand, we want to grow to about a hundred and 40000. Over this time frame of 2032. And I mentioned separately the sort of hundred percent experiential learning, that's not a, a actually a metric for this plan in the same way, but it is meant to be a differentiator. Now experiential learning is not new, but a hundred percent is not common. So Northeastern does a hundred percent experiential learning. Big private, barrier College does a hundred percent experiential learning, tiny private. Very few public universities have striven for a hundred percent experiential learning. This man (Provost McKinney) is all in. I wouldn't put this in here if the provost weren't like yes, we can do this and we can do this. But that's meant to be a differentiator. That's meant to help us get those 16000 students by saying, hey, come here. You will have that kind of experience basically. Next slide. There are five what we call pillars in this plan. I didn't want to call them pillars and when I didn't call them pillars, everybody else called them pillars, so I gave up and I started calling them pillars. I called them strategic priorities and everything. So they're pillars now. 1st ones realize the UToledo advantage. In part, this is about, I think differentiating ourselves in an educational landscape. So experiential learning is a piece of that, but this is really about. Making sure that they're providing an educational experience that is of such clear value that students want to come and take advantage of. It's meant to drive enrollment but also provide the learning experience that's special for those studentsÖ. drive research and innovation because we are a research university and we should be exploring fundamental questions. We should be exploring questions that address the challenges and opportunities of the region, build for a healthy to leader as the only academic medical center in Northwest Ohio. 

Part of our responsibility is in fact to improve the health of this region. Lucas County is not a healthy county. We have a lot to do there. And, you know, I've said this in some audiences as well. We're kind of the only single institution that can really do that because we do treatment, we do educate the healthcare workforce, we do research in health, and we do public health. So, we have all the pieces to impact that engage our partners because we can't do it alone. We're going to do more experience-based learning, means more placements for students out in out in the world, in the field, if you will. It also means engaging with folks who will support us with philanthropy and so on. And then finally optimizing institutional systems. So, we have a lot of work to do internally to make our systems work better. And I'll say more about each of these in a second, but one point I want to make is these are all meant to be mutually reinforcing. How do we grow research? Well, we need to free up faculty time, we need more faculty. How do we get more faculty? We grow the number of students for teaching, and that brings resources with them. And if you look at the growth path and the way that our tuition works, if we grow students, we can grow students at a rate where we generate revenues that we can use to actually grow our capacity or faculty to have more time to do research. Similar only how you increase our ability to provide healthcare, all of those doctors going back is critical to growing our health care and so on. Engaging with philanthropic support engaging with partners enables other things, enables that experience-based learning and provides resources to help.
Let's do our work. We have a lot to do with institutional systems. We have work to do to be more student centric, more student friendly. We have work to do in the way we work on distribute indirect costs within the institution. So all of these things are meant to get it. 

Next slide. So just a little more detail, and I've probably said most of these things already, but realize the UToledo advantage and so began to ensure that every undergraduate has experiential learning on the court curriculum and the provost has a court curriculum that the task force committee engaged on that growing programs that are aligned with need and with mission that students say, hey, I want to come do that because we do live in that world where the way that students and parents receive a higher education has shifted, we can, we need to embrace that shift. It doesn't mean that we don't want to educate students broadly. It doesn't mean that we don't want students to explore, but we also need to recognize that Mitchell gets a certified nursing program going in its. And so there are degree programs we can put out there that people really want to jump into. Strengthening advising and strengthening student life is also important, getting more vibrant in this campus. If you haven't and then if the union's been decorated with balloons, I think that's super cool. Continue to optimize our recruiting. And again, 16000 seats and 2030. By the way, I call that my credible stretch goal, I think is achievable. It is a stretch and when in the final version of this plan we actually have bands. I agree. In the final version of this plan we have a band for all of these various targets, and this is sort of We get there everybody gets but increase retention for assistance as well. That's another enrollment strategy beyond recruitment. Next slide. Driving research and innovation, so Grace Mohannick is working on a research strategic plan that's called research without boundaries. Excuse me, that starts to look at, ok, how do we create a better environment for proposal development, it proposes them.

329 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
01:40:56.919 --> 01:41:16.919
Quicker, get larger proposals out the door, and so we have a research strategic plan that kind of fleshes out the details that sort of fleshes out how we operationalize this. That includes improving research structure, the research infrastructure, research administration challenges in doing certain kinds of research. We have a, a team currently looking at clinical research and clinical trials that's making progress in that space. So all of those pieces. Also working with the provost hiring strategically in, in areas of strength. I should mention that each of these pillars has a an executive sponsor, Progos McKinney is the executive sponsor of UToledo Advantage. Grace Bohanick is executive sponsor of driving research and innovation. Again, driving towards a hundred million and heard, probably 70 400 million awards still working on that number. Arguably it should be higher and growing the number of research doctorates that we've given by about 6 % at the least over that period.

Next slide, building for a healthy UToledo. Chuck Callingham, EVP for Health Affairs is the executive sponsor here. This is really about proving the performance and excellence of our healthcare system and our service lines. So e.g., we have just really launched a center for transplant medicine, you might say, wait, haven't we had that? No. We've had a very successful transport plant program in neurology. We're really spinning that out as a separate service line, a set of transplant medicine to give it more identity of its own and more, more structure, doing some similar work with the cancer center. Expanding health, health education opportunities that certified nursing program was an example of doing that, a new program for us, looking potentially at some new residency programs as well. Growing capacity for health research, and make and extending our reach through communities so that those in need of care can find us more easily. We've got a number of ways to do that, some through kind of very fantastic creating some clear clinical sites, if you will, away from our, our current hospital. Turns out patients will drive for 20 minutes to get healthcare so we need clinics that are in some different places where we currently find. And there's some other ideas that folks are working on too. Just a few metrics here we have 19 total metrics, but trying to grow inpatients five about 5 % outpatient five about 7 %. So growing emergency department utilization by about 5 % inpatient emissions by about 5 %, and so. And next, engage our partners and Katie Dependedictus as the executive sponsor for this. Katie is our vice president for strategic initiatives and chief of staff with president. And this is really about partnerships. And so strengthening and by the way, the executive sponsors don't like own everything in all of these things. They're the people whoís tasked with making sure that we're moving these things forward. So strengthening partnerships with, that lead to enrollments, K twelve programs camps on campus transfer student initiatives partnerships. We've seen significant growth in transfer and we expect more, we've built a whole set of new partnerships with Washington community College at Michigan just to make an example. And so, reaching actually out of the state for some of those community college partnerships. We can do a lot more in terms of creating presence on campus with sort of K twelve camps for students in that range and introduces people to campus, it's a way to recruit them. It's a way to generate energy, but it's also a way to deliver our mission as we can educate those changes. I won't dwell on that. Next slide. Close to the end, optimizing our institutional systems, so EVP for finance administration, Matt Schroeder is the exam. But this is about people resources and places. So we're currently undergoing a staff compensation philosophy review. We're looking at our staff salary structures to try and improve those, strengthening our systems of recognition. We have lots of pieces of staff and faculty recognition and they're kind of not coordinated. So we'd like to get a much bigger picture, better picture of how what we're doing to recognize that and then improve their systems. For me, that last one's actually important to build a culture of success. We need people to start to see and believe that we actually can't succeed. To really have an optimistic outlook, and that really means that we have a culture that says actually we can get this done. Let's find a way to yes, let's not start with NO, and so I think that's basically very important. Improve budget transparency in a number of ways, but we've already taken some steps in that direction but to more clearly expose some of the budgetary pieces and some of the budgetary challenges within the university.

Believe it or not, moving Trustees meetings to campus is one good way to do that because one of the best places to learn what's going on with budget is a trustees meeting and currently people kind of don't want to come. It's sort of over theirs. Talking about incentive models and how to use them and so be concrete about this. We're looking at least for a start incentive models for online master's programs where there's tuition sharing to incentivize the growth of those programs. Something I did at my previous institution, something the pro boast is the ball ready to go in on. Over time we could expand that in some other areas. I don't believe that an RCM model, I think we call it something else here, IBD, whatever. I don't believe that is the right model for the University of Toledo. But that doesn't mean there are places where you can use incentive-based system models and very clear, well contained online masters asserted that the low hanging fruit in that's gotten really clearly identified students, clearly identified costs, clearly identifying revenues, so you can do some steps to share that revenue with the program to incentivize just. I mentioned indirect cost review, so we're going to review the indirect cost system at the which is, it's a little wonky because we say we do a certain thing and we don't actually quite do it. And so it just needs good luck. And so that's something that will be working. And I mentioned places, there's a lot to do just in terms of capital projects, but just some just some examples. We have a lot of work to do in improving laboratory spaces, something like a 3rd of the laboratory spaces in the College of Medicine Usable, and so when we hire faculty there it's a challenge. And so looking at we've got a, you know, kind of a list of capital projects we need to move forward, but also we need to do some work to really build up that list. Mentions housing and student life. 

We need to look at our housing student housing. It is fine.
But the student, but the universities that are recruiting some of the same students we might like to recruit have something that is more than fine, and so we need to take a serious look at that. Okay, so that's the, that's the basics of kind of the plan. You've, you've seen the document that Renee sent out. I have one last slide, let's go to it. And that is I am proposing a, a new mission statement for the institution. That's in some way separate from the plan. 

I don't want to touch the mission statement, but the more I look at it, the more I think that we should look at the mission statement. So the mission statement I'm proposing is the University of Toledo probably rooted in Northwest Ohio, prepares students for personal and professional success, expands human knowledge and capability, and delivers exceptional advanced care for patients. I'm kind of curious what's that and so that's part of the plan document and one of the things that is there one more slide? Oh, there is one more slide. Sorry. And so, you know, we're going to put a faculty into this well everywhere, of course, right? When you shape curriculum, you shape our programs, you do the research, you set our academic standards, you need your advice on how we implement things, your advice on where we invest, what kind of do we do we renovate that laboratory or this laboratory or this building or that building critical.
You're the folks who make experiential learning happen either by working it into your curriculum or supporting in the cocurricular way. You, you mentor our students, you, you engage them, encourage them, you help them stay and be successful here. And of course, you're the folks who are constantly assessing the outcomes for the individual students you're telling us about, what is our, where are we in terms of the quality of education here? And, also where are there unintended consequences and what we do, which really comes back to my 1st welcome or thank you if you will. One of the reasons this group is so important, one of the reasons I appreciate you being on faculty center is a great place to hear about those unintended consequence because we frequently, yeah, here's a great idea, it's doing its going to make some great things happen, oh but and it's pretty easy to miss the O Butt stuff sounds bad. But, in any event, and then I, you know, I kind of make this final statement. Success is not assured. 16000 students, it's not assured. I think it's credible, I think it's doable, it's a stretch, but it's doable. Success is not assured. But if we don't try, we won't get there. And so, we have to try and we have to be just a little bit audacious in reaching forward over the next five years. So I'll stop there. Happy to hear feedback now, thoughts, comments, questions, but also feel free to send email to UT President@utoledo.edu. So, questions, comments? 

Past-President Avidor-Reiss: Yeah. So, this is very planned, I'm very happy to embrace it. The question is how does it deal with the financially of the we just had a 5 % to TTA lines, so how do we.

The University of Toledo President, Dr. Holloway: Yeah, so two answers to that, two pieces to the answer if you will. So, one is the plan is designed to self-generate resources. So, it's built around growth because growth in number of students will grow tuition dollars and grow our shared state of SSI state shared solution. The financials in part are founded on if we can grow enrollment, we create the resources that we need to continue growing, particularly for things that are recurring, things like salaries. The other piece is where do we, kind of one-time dollars, which the Trustees can do. We have ways to, we have ways to pull one-time money out and not small amounts, numbers in the millions. But that's where what they were very clear on is, hey, we want to see a plan before we start to say, yeah, you can have a million for this or a million for that. And so partially this is ok to show the trustee say here's the trajectory we want to be on. Here are those one-time investments that we need to make to get there. And then the other is by growing patient revenue; by growing student revenue, we generate the resources for some of this, some of this work. So, so the plan.

Senator Semaan: Sorry to interrupt Renee, but we lost that you sound on online.

Faculty Senate President Heberle: So sorry we hit the mute button by mistake, that ënever happened.í So I don't know how that happened to ever to anybody ever in the whole world. Okay, we're back. 

Barbara Miner is asking, can you speak to the report by BGSU that they welcomed more than 4000 new students for second straight year building on a momentum that saw a 36 % surge in first year enrollment since Fall 2021. 

The University of Toledo President, Dr. Holloway: It's great copy, isn't it? Why did they say 2021? Because that was their minimum. So when they share that number with us, they're telling us from their minimum to now, they've grown by that amount. Over the last ten years Bowling Green has grown by 2.4 %. Total, not per year total. They've grown by 2.4 %. So, I do want to just comment that the baseline is being very carefully chosen to get to show that 36 %. And by the way, yes, they have brought in 4000 students; they brought in 4000 students last year. Yay for Bowling Green. That's cool. I have no ill will towards that. They did bring in a slightly larger class, but they didn't show a giant jump because they're running out of space. So one of the challenges Bowling Green is having is in fact, just running out of space on their campus and in the town. Nevertheless, I mean, it does not bother me if bowling Green grows. It bothers me if we don't. Right? And so, this isn't really about trying to say who can I, where can I steal a student from? They are getting many times at different times students than we get. They're in many respects competing with Ohio University; Small campus town party kind of environment. We're competing with the University of Cincinnati. The University of Cincinnati over that same ten years has grown 25 % over 10,000 students. That's where the students are going. It's not Bowling Green. So when I look at, when I look at it, I pay attention to Bowling Green, but I pay a lot of attention to Cincinnati because that's what I think is my main competitor, urban research university with an academic health center. They're growing like gangbusters. So, when I make, e.g., a comment about housing. I'm actually looking more at housing like Cincinnati than I am at Bowling Green. Nevertheless, I mean, good football and green. I'm glad they're doing well. They're pro they may be hitting some, some, they maybe slowing down purposefully, but again, I think. I'm not here to try and make Bowling Green do less. We are here to try and make us. 

Faculty Senate President Heberle: Barbara Miner has asked to piggyback on that question from Barbara Miner. Are you happy with the yield from our efforts? Oh, actually yes. So one of the things is we've actually got higher.

The University of Toledo President, Dr. Holloway: We're getting higher proportion of completed applications. We're getting higher number of students enrolling per admitted students. So we're actually seeing good progress on those kinds of, of funnels funnel yield numbers, and so that's, that's actually a good thing. We did not. So new, new students from high school will be up a little bit this year. We had fewer applications. So we're getting a higher yield on those students. Yeah, I think the main risk we faced this year, someone mentioned it earlier, we have a hundred and 70 students from Lourdes. That's not a sustainable number. There's not another Lourdes. Well, actually there is another Lourdes out there, but setting that aside, there isn't, you know, there isn't a big supply of other schools that are likely to close that we can do that kind of yield from. So, for me, one of the really important pieces of being able to help the transfer pipeline significantly. So that's a big source of the undergraduate source of students. We have a comment and a question from Jay. 

Faculty Senate President Heberle: Thank you, Senator Jayatissa. Sorry. Thank you for your remarks, President Holloway. I also believe our most important resources are our faculty time and facilities. Looking at this past summer, I wonder whether we made the most effective use of these resources, there were many days when our campus suppeared to be largely empty. Do you have plans to improve the utilization of our faculty facilities and campus resources, particularly during the summer? And since you are a nuclear scientist, Dr. Holloway, I think your team may need a gammariet burst of energy to keep rockets moving forward. I would advise the only. Maybe you know a good energy drink, utilization of utilization of campus in the summer is a, is a good flag. We do, there were about what was that about 5000 students taking classes this summer. It would be interesting to see. See if there is potential to systematically increase that. That's something that we did at one of my previous institutions is try to systematically increase summer enrollments. I think we had some challenges there this summer for various particular reasons, but that's one thing we could look at. But I mentioned something else that's actually a big opportunity and that's those, those summer camps for youth. It's actually a great way to utilize campus. Get people to see our campus. We've started to increase the number of those and our ability to do that, but we have a lot of work to do there to really create a system that makes it easy or relatively easy to do those kind of but that's a huge potential as well because we want more people to see and experience this campus. A lot of students, you know, when students come and tour, it. Place cells itself pretty well just because it's such a cool place. Beautiful. Any other questions from online? Thank you. Barbara Miners says I appreciate the nuances you pointed out about the data regarding enrollment. My concern is based on perception. Public consumers of information are unlikely to see anything beyond the sheer numbers. So how do we put a big story of our own success so that we can budge big and capture the imagination of our potential students and their families? I think this is spot on. This is absolutely spot on. We we want to build kind of big positive momentum in minds. That's one reason that being. Say that new students is up is important for us. So we're actually, we started this summer just sort of thinking about how we would craft the story that will come out in about two weeks when we get census date. And we will focus on a few things. We'll focus on the increase in new students. As the big thing and we'll focus on a few of the kind of new unique programs that are getting a lot of students involved in. So we're trying to make something like, hey, this is amazing with this. And again, we'll be able to say, you know, with respect to new students, we haven't done that new students. But it's absolutely true, right? It would be so much better story if the total number of students were just up, that's so much easier to deliver. That's so much more what people want to do is just sort of the simple of this versus BG versus us Cincinnati versus us Cincinnati versus us.

388 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:03:21.100 --> 02:03:38.480
But but I mean this is the spot on comment, and we have our new vice president for marketing communications has been already thinking about and working with us on how we tell the best possible story and and we've got two weeks to kind of really lock down so but.

389 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:03:38.480 --> 02:03:57.528
It's the right thing to call out. Can we Cameo new students in their choice of UT? I'm not sure I understand. Camio new students, I think just show off our new students, new students in the 1st few weeks, few months of class, right? Barbara? Yeah. Is it Barbara is that what you meant?

390 "Barbara Miner" (1119791360)
02:03:57.528 --> 02:04:17.590
That's exactly what I meant. I would love to hear stories because I have, I mean if you go on Reddit and look at students comments about UT or BG and where they feel they've been best supported, there's some interesting information and it's anecdotal, but I kind of.

391 "Barbara Miner" (1119791360)
02:04:17.590 --> 02:04:51.263
Love to see why did this, this new student choose UT and not compared to BG, but why did you come here? What's exciting to you? What's your background? What do you hope to do? I mean, I think that if we add that kind of sort of highlighting students, a lot of 1st year students would love to see themselves on the website talking about their experiences. And so I think that could create a really lovely buzz about why they're here.

392 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:04:51.263 --> 02:04:58.240
Yeah, That's a great idea. Thank you. And Jillian Bornak says that our alumbs and their successful job placements, so yes, all of.

I wanted to also just well I was just gonna comment on the expansion from three to five pillars and I was really one, I wanna thank you for all of the openness to feedback and ideas from all of us, but I was very particularly interested in the optimizing our institution systems number five. I feel like that is so crucial and so I just wanted to appreciate that in that pillar and the addition of that as its own set of issues, problems, opportunities, so forth. Sure. I just don't know if someone thought of it, if it was a campaign.

But I do a thing where the students write down some things about themselves on a card just to help them see who they are. And a number of them wrote their year in school class of 2030, so I don't know if that was an intentional campaign to have them think of themselves as.

Graduated class, but it was remarkable to me in the sort of 80 students I saw on Monday how many of them wrote that on that card. Yeah, that that has been a purposeful effort with our our new incoming undergraduate students to place themselves as the class of 23. Yeah.

Senator Giovannucci: Hey David, do you have any G? Do you have a new G college of medicine? So I wanna sort of also take supporting systems. I really appreciate it Jenny giving all the.

Things that support AI teaching. I know I'm also chair of medical education and my family adopted AI to help improve delivery of the education and, and improve the efficiency of the administrative.

399 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:06:57.410 --> 02:07:17.410
Pieces. It's less clear to me as we develop new tools that the IT infrastructure is in alignment or or helping facilitate those. And I think those efforts.

400 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:07:17.410 --> 02:07:28.190
And I was just wondering if in within improving systems, there's thought about how to support IT so that.

401 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:07:28.190 --> 02:07:48.190
It can help support these new tools that are gonna be transformative. So, so the questions about the capacity of IT to support the adoption of AI tools, a couple of comments it actually hasn't been sort of explicitly different than these these documents, but there's.

402 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:07:48.190 --> 02:08:08.190
A lot going on in that space that the promos and vice president for research are working on and I don't know if you wanna say anything about that, but I'll also say that there should be an announcement relating to this next. We don't have an exact clear date.

403 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:08:09.830 --> 02:08:29.830
I have to be a little bit vague because it's not my news to share strangely. But there there will be an announcement coming up in the next month or so regarding IT support around AI. That's exactly in the space you're talking about. I don't know Mitchell see anything about the AI committee you're working on.

404 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:08:29.830 --> 02:08:32.240
I would I would just also.

405 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:08:32.240 --> 02:08:50.360
Try to until, you know, details are worked out that we've had discussions of, ok, what support, what infrastructure support do we need to put in place? What are the resources, the cost, and then where do we find those? So those discussions are.

406 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:08:50.360 --> 02:09:10.360
Are being had, and I, and I'm hopeful too in a short order, a month or two, we'll be able to make some more clear announcements. So we have a, president and a provost who are very interested in being with us in five weeks center meetings, so we will have more opportunities to engage and.

407 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:09:10.360 --> 02:09:14.060
Discuss all of these things. I think I've been dismissed.

408 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:09:14.060 --> 02:09:31.460
No, NO, my colleagues are being shut down. No, we do need to get to Thank you so much and thank you so much for the.

Faculty Senate President Heberle: So now Sharon is going to present on a really important question and that is how our feeling of committees is going. 

Senator Barnes: Yeah, part of the job of the President Elect is to chair the Committee on Committees, which is the name I have always loved for.
And so thanks to all the folks who stepped up to do that, some of whom I just personally recruited, and we had representation from every college except medicine and life sciences. So what I'm going to do is just briefly go through the committees and tell you where we do not have representation from your college. And I it there is an expectation that faculty senators will serve on committees and I'm going to just highlight a couple of points along the way or maybe just to hear upfront. There are some places where COMMLS and the law school, feel like their energies are not well spent because the the focus of the committee is really on undergraduate education. Our constitution is not as clear about that, so I think the constitution committee constitutional rules committee might want to address. My feeling is if you want to be represented, the more the marrier, the better, the more mines on the issues great. So they have a lot more vacancies than others. So I'm just going to go through the committees. Academic Programs have the most vacancies. Engineering, HHS, Law, Pharmacy, and COMLS have no representation currently. So if you're in that college and you want to serve on that committee or you want to help me recruit someone on that committee, that would be great. Academic Regulations is full except for NSM. The person on that committee took it took some other responsibilities and can't do it. The budget committee, which I think is a really important committee for us to have complete representation on all colleges. Law, Medicine and Life Sciences and Pharmacy currently do not have representation. Constitution and Rules only Pharmacy we are missing. Core Curriculum is full, looking for a chair. Elections, JHCASE, Medicine and life Science and Pharmacy need representatives. Faculty Affairs, Education and Engineering. Recruitment and Retention, Education, Engineering, HHS, Law, and the College of Medicine. And again, if that committee's focus is undergraduates, the grad representation might not be so important. And I honestly don't know what you want to do. I just want to point out.

Vice Provost Molitor: But that COM LS does have undergraduate programs. Therapy and Neuroscience, so they should be represented on undergraduate curriculum and associated. 

Senator Barnes: Thank you so much, I completely forgot. Appreciate it.
Student Affairs, Engineering, Law and Medicine and Life Sciences, and I think JHCASE needs representation because Deborah Coulter-Harris, the longtime chair has retired, and Susanne Smith, the other person I think has also retired, so we need representation there. An undergrad curriculum. In pharmacy. Oh wait, and I might not have done, I might have taken, I think I did take Tom LS off there. So I'll have to update that because I wasn't thinking that they had undergraduate programs. We will send this list to senators. It didn't go out. 
Did we send it out? I sent it, I guess I just sent it to you. No, NO, No I didn't ask you to send it out so I can update it. And I maybe missing a few things, but that's what I have. Thanks again to the folks on the committee on committees who really some of them just said, I will recruit someone for every committee and they just did it, which made it super easy. Otherwise I've been sort of twisting arms a little bit but thanks a lot for everyone who participated and hope you did a full office. You don't get a full roster, ok. Thank you hope to get a full roster, but last year we also decided that we would charge the committees and put them to work with what we've got by the end of September. So that's not a deadline or anything but we really need people to step up and step into these committees. It is really important work. It's not just busy work. It is shared governance. So please let Sharon know if you're willing, if you know somebody, please step up. We will send out the list so everyone will know what committees need representation. I'm shocked. Shocked and appalled I have to say that academic programs committee is not formal because we saw so many changes last year and so much. This work was done by that, so that is a very they're all important because things like that we really need people to step up, so get them on there. There are other committees that are not part of the faculty Senate standard committee structure, and there maybe a couple of ad hoc faculty members. 

The standing committees like the diversity caller might be revisited, so things like that. Yeah, we do have ad hoc committees. These are the standing committees, the cray committee, the creative, what's it called innovative sorry creative and innovative something, something committee is still ad hoc and that will probably. Will be made either a standing committee or go away and get it absorbed into another committee, so all of this will be in process, but we know the work that we need to do to get the to get people on these committees to get them. Get them active. Are there any other questions or comments about?

Faculty Sente President Heberle: Alright, so the the limitable has become my favorite word. Kim Nigem informed me about. This last item under new business, there's NO old business. I haven't forgotten any presenters.

432 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:15:40.310 --> 02:16:00.310
It informed me that the athletic committee that I was so eagerly interested in populating with center represent representatives was deactivated last year by Brian Blix. However. However, with our new.

433 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:16:00.310 --> 02:16:03.980
Vice president and director of athletics, Tom Warland.

434 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:16:03.980 --> 02:16:23.980
I would like to get input from folks as to having some kind of committee that is not just about PR and kind of, you know, creating a booster committee for athletics on campus but actually works on substantive issues around students, around whatever it is that might come up.

435 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:16:23.980 --> 02:16:43.980
To talk with Tom Orland about perhaps the energizing that initiative, I think the more across university communication we have, the better. So we will be working on that and taking any advice from those who have experience working with athletics who have athletes in the.

436 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:16:43.980 --> 02:17:03.980
Those who have particular concerns to work with mr. Moland about getting something like that going against. Maybe it won't happen, maybe it won't be helpful or or more active, but I do think it's something necessary. We talk about athletics a lot here for various reasons, mostly budgetary, but I think there are other reasons to live off these problems.

437 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:17:03.980 --> 02:17:04.850
Back to that.

438 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:17:04.850 --> 02:17:24.850
Yeah, so Tom, Tom Morland, I can't speak to the specifics of a committee, I don't know what that committee does or should do, but Tom is very interested in engaging with faculty, so I think that he would be very, he would welcome this conversation. Yeah, so anyone out there, I know almost nothing about.

439 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:17:24.850 --> 02:17:33.890
And so I know the people on the FSCC probably know more, so we just will be gathering ideas and knowledge, that's really good to hear, thank you.

440 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:17:33.890 --> 02:17:49.370
Any other comments or questions about that floor? Right, items from the floor? I just want to please remind you that on the front page of the.

441 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:17:49.370 --> 02:18:09.370
New to Leado Senate website is the provide something? I can't remember what it says. What does it say? It's like I'm all yellow but input. What did it say? One question that maybe we can ask regarding the plans for the infrastructure, the building, different building, I know they just finished their beautiful new center.

442 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:18:09.370 --> 02:18:27.980
To welcome center, but the question is really, are we sticking with the old plan and yeah the master plan because I know that sometimes idea from the master plan will hibit some folders. I give you an example. The animal facility in the.

443 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:18:27.980 --> 02:18:43.430
Here in the main campus need some help with have the humidity issues and I get comment that facilities are not interested in doing anything because the other impression that will be a new building. So I don't My understanding that there's NO new building, so I just want to know.

444 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:18:43.430 --> 02:19:03.430
What is the plan? And also make sure that all the different units in the university knowleds. Well, I don't think we ever heard from Jason Toast last year, did we? So I think it would be a good idea by a chance to come and tell us more about the master plan and the status of that, but also just to know that Jason Toast is the person that we would be leading that.

445 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:19:03.430 --> 02:19:23.430
And let me let me address that a little bit. So master plan is always, you know, a snapshot in time. There will always be evolutions of it, and so we're not slavishly following the master plan, but there's a lot of good stuff in the master plan that that we ought to do. One of them is in fact.

446 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:19:23.430 --> 02:19:43.660
Figuring out either we renovating Bow and audie Wolf or are we building a new science building or both? There's NO definitive answer on that. You know, I think where there are critical issues we need to evaluate, e.g., with an animal facility case by case, should we in fact.

447 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:19:43.660 --> 02:20:03.660
Have to do some work there because building a new a new science building, which is I think something eventually we will probably have to do, but that's not happening next year or the year after. And so there maybe, you know, there maybe needs. And so one thing I would say where there are those kinds of issues and, and people are reluctant to.

448 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:20:03.660 --> 02:20:19.220
To take a step in addressing that facility. Elevated to your dean, make sure your Dean elevates it to provos, so that we can have a conversation about it. And so again, you know, I think.

449 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:20:19.220 --> 02:20:35.840
There's a bunch in the master plan that we're definitely gonna do. There's stuff in there probably not gonna do and there will be you know sort of continued thinking and evolution, but certainly have Jason in to to talk as well. Yes.

450 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:20:35.840 --> 02:20:55.840
Patrick Lawrence again, and on a related note, I think there are still academic services and academic departments that are held and all, so I think it would be time to get an update. I know there's been discussions about the future of that building and other units have moved up, but from an academic affairs point of view and our students and our faculty, there still is academic activity in that building. It'll be interesting.

451 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:20:55.840 --> 02:20:56.720
You know what.

452 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:20:56.720 --> 02:21:16.720
If there are any changes and plans about the future of that as part of facilities master planning communications, right? Yes, they're over there, but you know, so online is still there, right? There's still some other support folks over there that are academic related. I don't know what the status is the classrooms over there, but they're still academic academic activity in the building.

453 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:21:16.720 --> 02:21:35.990
Yeah, so, so, we're evaluating some plans about where to about where we might move, make some moves and some swaps, so that that building would eventually have nothing that is in person academic online might still be there.

454 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:21:35.990 --> 02:21:55.990
And so that's sort of, it's a little bit in flux, but we're expecting actually to start moving some, just administrative and support units in there in the short term, and looking at where communications where we might do a swap of something with communications. So.

455 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:21:55.990 --> 02:22:15.050
I, I know it's a little vague cause it's not all settled, but, it's not done. You know certainly with respect to communications, we're very aware of the need to find a, a better home for communications than rock and hall right now. And and again, I think rock and Hall will become much more of a support building.

456 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:22:15.050 --> 02:22:35.050
Yes, the space force will continue. We're not gonna call it that so far we Yes. The space discussions. Just briefly back to athletics and there's just a bit of context. We used to have a university athletics.

457 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:22:35.050 --> 02:22:55.050
Committee. It was a really diverse committee, people from the community, alums, administrators, faculty, and it was a really well functioning group for quite a while. It kind of faded away a few years ago. So that's not the same thing I just said was deactivated, it's a different thing. So I, I think it might be the same thing coming back to them. So.

458 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:22:55.050 --> 02:23:15.050
It was, it was a really like I said real appointment. It was served as an advisory committee for anthletics and there were, there was always at least three faculty on that because there was the factory anthletics rep as well as I think of one appointment came from the Senate and actually from the president's office, there was one presidential appointing to that committee. Yeah.

459 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:23:15.050 --> 02:23:35.050
Thank you for that background. And like I said, anybody that has any other background on that. Yeah, back to the master plan issue and and space discussions, I think there's just a lot of confusion because we heard last year there were a lot of definitive things said about what was gonna go down and what was gonna come back up and what was gonna be built in this place and so I for one M.

460 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:23:35.050 --> 02:23:44.330
Very confused about what this campus might look like in ten years and I think it's really important for people to have a sense of that especially since we live in our offices and in our labs.

461 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:23:44.330 --> 02:24:04.330
And my cut is like where it is. I don't want to move it. If I have to, I'm gonna need some time. Did UT provide feedback to SP one? It's the same person continues. I asked this question because that.

462 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:24:04.330 --> 02:24:23.210
University as an institution can communicate with state legislators and provide institutional perspective subject to its policies and applicable legal ethics rules, given the significant impact of SP one in Ohio public universities, does the University of Toledo have a formal process for providing feedback to the state regarding the implementation of SP one?

463 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:24:23.210 --> 02:24:43.210
And does family Senate have an opportunity to provide input into that feedback? Brilliant question. Who wants to start? I'll start. So yes, the anniversity has, formal ways to provide feedback to the state. The.

464 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:24:43.210 --> 02:24:52.400
The IUC, The University council, is an important mechanism for that. And we have our own.

465 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:24:52.400 --> 02:25:12.400
Lobby's if you want to call them, call them that representatives in Columbus and I spent some time down there as well. So yes, we have ways to provide feedback on legislation that is pending. It's a lot more than SP one. There's a lot that happens at the state that that impacts the university on our hospital.

466 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:25:12.400 --> 02:25:15.800
And so we're constantly doing.

467 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:25:15.800 --> 02:25:35.800
Doing that. The, you know, I wasn't here when SB1 was discussed, so I don't know if Scott has has insight on that. I I think that the faculty Senate should take advantage of my presence Mitchell's presence, Scott's presence, to share feedback if you see issues that are coming down the pipe.

468 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:25:35.800 --> 02:25:56.230
Yeah we're here to we're here to hear if I can say it that way. So, so yes, please do provide that feedback. Scott Mitchell I don't know if you want to add anything. So we we in in in a in terms of implementation of SP one, we provide feedback on, I would say almost on a monthly basis to the.

469 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:25:56.230 --> 02:25:58.940
ODHE and other.

470 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:25:58.940 --> 02:26:18.940
Entities in terms of, how we're implementing. Some of that is are we implementing? And then Renee mentioned earlier, I think Renee it was in, let's see the spring semester or at some point, perhaps last fall, that I pulled together the.

471 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:26:18.940 --> 02:26:33.770
It's, it's a faculty senate, I believe primarily a faculty senate that's presented that meets with me, had been meeting with me on a monthly basis and then we will continue that as we didn't over the summer.

472 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:26:33.770 --> 02:26:53.770
Where I go to this group of five or six folks and, and ask questions about ok now here's a an element of SP one or HP 96 that we're trying to figure out. How do we implement? Do we go this way, that way? What do you think? We'll have some discussions of, of forcing.

473 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:26:53.770 --> 02:27:11.090
And so I I I said at the time when I pulled that group together, I wanted feedback on, how should we implement these things? Now, now the president has just noted too.

474 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:27:11.090 --> 02:27:27.710
We might think of it in a more proactive way when, when, well particularly now we're looking at 4601, when legislation is proposed, we do have mechanisms through which we are, providing feedback or.

475 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:27:27.710 --> 02:27:45.290
Recommendations on, well, we don't need this or if we can we modify this legislation? We do that through IUC, we do that through our lobbyists we're, we're quite active right now with 4601 in terms of providing that feedback.

476 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:27:45.290 --> 02:28:05.290
We also have the Ohio faculty council, and Amn all Red is our rep to that body, and that is a space where representatives from centers across the public university system on Ohio come together to speak with one another each month about what is happening in terms of compliance and with and imp.

477 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:28:05.290 --> 02:28:11.600
Implementation issues on SB one, so there's that channel for feedback that is.

478 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:28:11.600 --> 02:28:31.600
Could be more powerful than it is, but it's there. I also think that there's a difference between reporting back on the status of implementation and the impact on our ability to provide the education that our students are coming here for and to protect defend, and.

479 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:28:31.600 --> 02:28:51.230
Exercise, academic freedom. And so as individuals, we have all the freedom in the world to respond as individual faculty members who have an interest in this. And then institutionally there are different channels that we just discussed that are available to provide feedback and input.

480 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:28:51.230 --> 02:29:06.740
But if anybody's interested in how to track legislation or how to provide witness testimony, when if 4601 does stop the four committee or other legislation you're interested in, then we know how to do that. There are a lot of people on campus that have been involved in that.

481 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:29:06.740 --> 02:29:26.740
Writing out beds to the blade, other ways that we communicate as citizens and as faculty members are super incredibly important to not let this go under the radar if you find it to be important to you. So I encourage all of us to be involved. Yeah.

482 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:29:26.740 --> 02:29:46.740
Mike Hebant Carbon Physics and astronomy. It's curious that only five institutions are named in 4601. They're the five with the civic centers, so that 4601 is all about the civic centers, so that's why with the civic centers put in those five institutions. We would have to go back to all institutions.

483 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:29:46.740 --> 02:29:55.250
That was SB one and another happy to fill you in on that story. That's what's sort of interesting that if you know if we are going to.

484 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:29:55.250 --> 02:30:15.250
The, you know, fighting in this context, do we then distinguish ourselves relative to other institutions in our part of the state that in terms of how we will be viewed in the state government? That's, it's it's a good point about the five institutions that have civi.

485 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:30:15.250 --> 02:30:35.150
Centers yet 4601 does have provisions that would have a state that would have a civic's board, created by the directors of the five centers making decisions on the required civic's literacy.

486 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:30:35.150 --> 02:30:55.150
Curriculum class that is provided in all public institutions across the state. And therefore the IUC Provos and other IUC groups have started to weigh in on, ok, that legislation does not just affect the five institutions although it does in many ways, but it affects.

487 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:30:55.150 --> 02:31:04.370
All public institutions throughout the state. And so all provos, e.g., have come together and said wait a minute, we need to speak.

488 "Hubbard, Quinetta L." (3310675456)
02:31:04.370 --> 02:31:24.370
With one voice on how this would impact our institution, all of our institutions. Thank you. We are now over time, so we could either vote to continue the conversation or we could go eat more snaps. Eat more snaps. Thank you so much. We are now turned by.
