The following committee members informed the Committee Chair that they could not attend: William Dennis Ames, Lynda Federoff, Cassandra Green, Deena Kelly, and Rhonda Luckey. The following committee members were absent from the meeting: Terry Appolonia, Dennis Hulings, Christoph Maier, Nicole Norris, and Cari Velez. The meeting was called to order at 4:40pm by Chair Condino. Acceptance of the Minutes: Minutes from the preceding meeting were unanimously approved as written, with no revisions. Chairpersons Report: Dr. Frank Condino Chair Condino asked the committee to review the current University policy regarding Anticipated Class Absence for University Representation and Participation and asked for opinions of the policy from faculty and students. Faculty offered information regarding their practices for excusing students for co-curricular activities and individual practices they use in their classrooms. Students also spoke of their experiences with faculty - - some they felt to be reasonable and others unreasonable. The Chair also asked faculty for their interpretation of the policy and generally it was agreed that faculty have the right, under academic freedom, to establish practices consistent with their syllabus and their teaching philosophy. Chairperson Condino, who is also the IUP Athletics Director, also shared information from the Athletics Department, and specifically, a sample memo that Head Coaches use to inform faculty of students need to miss classes due to team travel schedules. He asked for faculty feedback regarding the memorandum, and opinions were offered. Some faculty acknowledged that the memo was stated in terms that implied that it was for faculty information which differs from university policy wherein faculty have the prerogative to determine whether or not students will be excused from class for various co-curricular activities. The recommendation was made that the memo may be more acceptable to faculty if it was clear that permission was being sought for students absence from class as opposed to informing faculty of pending absences. Chair Condino requested that revisions be provided to him at the next meeting. It was also noted that a developmental opportunity for coaches to work with athletes exists by encouraging them to speak directly with their professors about their athletic/team involvement; that student initiative is important and encouraged ---perhaps even before coachs involvement in dealing directly with faculty. The Chair also provided information regarding the role of coaches and initiated discussion regarding Athletics Department data (provided in a handout) regarding fundraising, scholarship funds, and athletes student performance for fall 2004. Questions were asked and addressed by the Athletics Director (Chair). Student Affairs Senate Minutes Page 2 January 25, 2005 Vice Presidents Report: No Report.
