STANDING
[[4. Faculty Research Oversight Committee
The Faculty Research Oversight Committee shall review all classified and proprietary proposals, grants, and contracts according to the guidelines of the UAF policy concerning classified and proprietary research and advise the chancellor of their compliance or lack thereof with university policy.
The committee will publish an annual report on the status of classified and proprietary contracts, grants and proposals at UAF to the Faculty Senate. The Faculty Research Oversight Committee will offer changes to the UAF policy as needed through periodic reviews occurring no less than once every 5 years.
Membership on the committee shall be limited to 9 senators, with no more than 2 members being from the same unit. A Facilities Security Officer shall be an ex-officio member of the committee. The committee will also include someone from the Office of Sponsored Research and a designee of the chancellor as ex-officio members. Committee membership must broadly represent the university community.]]
EFFECTIVE: Immediately
RATIONALE: University Regulation (R10.07.02) promulgated by President Hamilton on February 3, 2005, states that an MAU which intends to engage in classified or proprietary research shall have a standing advisory committee, and that the chancellor will appoint up to three tenured faculty members to the committee. Chancellor Jones has appointed a committee for UAF that follows the requirements specified in University Regulations. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to have a Faculty Senate committee to serve in an oversight capacity.

The UAF Faculty Senate passed the following at its Meeting #138 on September 18, 2006:
MOTION:
=======
The UAF Faculty Senate moves to accept STAT 200 as a Mathematics Literacy component of the Core Curriculum and that it be included in the list of courses that will satisfy the Core Math requirement.
EFFECTIVE: Fall 2007
RATIONALE: The CORE Review Committee has received and unanimously passed a request from the Department of Mathematics to make STAT 200 (Statistics) available to students as a CORE course.
The Philosophy of the CORE Curriculum states:
Advanced literacy in mathematics implies a solid grasp of quantitative reasoning and appreciation of mathematical applications. Most important is acquiring the knowledge necessary for informed judgments on the uses of mathematical and statistical interpretations confronting us in everyday life
We observe that statistical interpretations have become the stuff of daily news, especially in political matters significant to citizenry. STAT200 will be a welcome addition to the CORE Curriculum as we prepare students for the 21st century.

MOTION:
=======
The Faculty Senate moves to modify "Guidelines for the Evaluation Process for Administrators" (Senate Meeting #99, February 5, 2001; amended Senate Meeting #111, October 28, 2002) to include (1) the Dean of Libraries and (2) the Vice Chancellor for Research in the "Group A" list of administrators.
EFFECTIVE: Immediately
RATIONALE: The Vice Chancellor for Research supervises research faculty via various institute directors, while the Dean of Libraries supervises library faculty. Both positions make budgeting decisions affecting faculty and staff at UAF. These responsibilities are consistent with those of the "Group A" list of administrators. They are therefore hereby added to that list for administrator review.
