AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY UNIVERSITY MINUTES OF THE UNIVERSITY SENATE, SEPTEMBER 14, 1992 The University Senate met in regular session at 3:00 p.m., Monday, September l4, l992, in Room ll5 of the Nursing Health Sciences Building. John J. Piecoro, Jr., Chair of the Senate Council, presided. Members absent were: Debra K. Aaron, Virginia Atwood, Robert L. Blevins, Glenn C. Blomquist*, Carolyn S. Bratt, Lauretta Byars, Rutheford B Campbell, Jr., Clyde R. Carpenter*, Ben W. Carr, Chris Carrico*, Edward A. Carter, Shea Chaney, Louis C. Chow*, Donald B. Clapp, Charlie Clark, Jordan L.

Williams, Eugene R. Williams, Emery A. Wilson, Mary L. Witt. The Chair welcomed the President, the senators, and visitors to the first meeting of the University Senate for the l992—l993 academic year. He stated that he was honored and felt privileged to be the Presiding Officer of the Senate. He predicted an interesting and exciting year in which the Senate will make important decisions affecting the Institution. The Senate with its academic governance has the opportunity to move the Institution forward in spite of budget cuts and the accountability reporting to various oversight groups. He said many Senators have already been involved in the different review groups, looking at the strategic plan for the University and the departmental, college and sector reviews. Many more will be called upon during the year to participate. This Institution needs your "participation and commitment. Professor Piecoro then introduced Susan Caldwell, Recording Secretary; Randall Dahl, Secretary of the Senate; Gifford Blyton, Parliamentarian; Celinda Todd, Administrative Assistant in the Senate Council Office; and Jacquie Hagar, Sergeant at Arms. The following remarks were made by the Chairperson: At the end of the spring semester the Senate Council elected a new faculty representative to the Board of Trustees, Dr. Deborah Powell from the College of Medicine. Dr. Powell stood and was given a round of applause. She joins Dr. Carolyn Bratt, College of Law, and two other new members Professor John Sisturnik, Community College System, and Pete November from the student body. During the summer, Dr. Gretchen LaGodna, College of Nursing, was appointed as the Academic Ombud. She was also the Ombud in 1990-199l. *Absence Explained Minutes, University Senate, September 14, l992 No corrections were made to the Senate Minutes for February 10, 1992, April l3, l992 and April 27, l992, which had been previously distributed. They were approved as circulated. The Chairman asked that if anyone had comments that they would identify them- selves and their departments or colleges for the benefit of those who did not know everyone. The Chairman then introduced the President, who traditionally addresses the Senate at their first meeting of the year. He stated that the President is also the Chair of the Senate and the Presiding Officer. He delegates to the Senate Council Chair the responsibility of Presiding Officer. Marcus McEllistrem, the immediate past Senate Council Chair had indicated to the Chair that he would enjoy working with President Hethington and he had found that to be correct. It had been an interesting summer and he had found the President to be one who was interested and who had shown concern for the faculty and staff. The President is most willing to get faculty involved and that will be seen during the coming semester. It was a special privilege for the Chair to welcome the President and ask him to offer his remarks to the Senate. President Charles Methington was given a round of applause. The President thanked Professor Piecoro and Professor Marc McEllistrem for their leadership and indicated that with Professor Dan Fulks "coming along in the pipeline“ he looked forward to continued strong leadership in the position of Chair of the Senate Council. He indicated that he appreciated the spirit and relation- ship with which they had been able to work during the last year and currently in the present year. This is a time that this is needed and he will do everything he can to insure this kind of relationship continues during the l992-1993 year. As we move into the l992-1993 year, he believes we have the fall semester off to a good start thanks to the Senate members and many other people in the University. The President's "State of the University Address" is attached to the Minutes. After his remarks the President was again given a round of applause. The Chair thanked the President for his address. He stated that he would like to point out, as had previous Chairs, that the faculty has a most important role in the academic governance and through that role the kinds of goals can be achieved for the University that the President talked about. By participating in the Senate and its committees and with each other we can continue to establish and nurture the Community that is needed to make the UniVersity the kind the President mentioned. The following remarks were made by the Chair. The President mentioned the Strategic Planning Team that met during the summer and had sent a draft to the President and his cabinet. The Chair stated that the faculty was well represented with about half of the team being composed of faculty. Minutes, University Senate, September l4, l992 As the President mentioned, the Teaching Portfolio which was approved last Spring, is now incorporated in the administrative regulations. All faculty will now have to develop teaching portfolios. Soon Dr. Louis Swift, Dean of Undergraduate Studies, and Dr. Joe Davis, Director of the Teaching and Learning Center, will be conducting seminars on the Teaching Portfolio and will be distri- buting guidelines to the Lexington Campus. Dr. Phyllis Nash, Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs at the Medical Center, will do likewise with the Medical Center faculty. The Faculty Workload Committee, Chaired by Dr. Karl Raitz, has asked Professor Piecoro to inform the Senate that the committee will be seeking faculty input in various ways as they get further along in their process. The initial orientation meeting was last week and they will be meeting again this week. Professor Piecoro stated that he had just sent the list of committee members to each of the Chairs of the Senate Standing Committees and they will soon be receiv~ ing specific charges for those committees. The Chair recognized Dr. William Moody, Professor of Animal Sciences, to present a memorial resolution. MEMORIAL RESOLUTION Theodore R. Freeman l906 - 1992 Theodore R. Freeman, a Professor of Animal Sciences died March 24, l992 after a long illness. Dr. Freeman, who lived at 2304_Harrodsburg Road, retired as Professor of Food Chemistry in l972. He joined the University of Kentucky faculty in l948 after serving on the faculties of Texas A&M (l937-4l) and University of Florida (l94l-46), and as co-owner of Sunshine Dairy Products, Inc., Gainesville, Florida (1946-48). During his long period of service at the University of Kentucky, he served for a year (1958-59) as acting head of the Dairy Department. 'His service at the University of Kentucky included research, teaching and extension in the subject areas of food chemistry, manufacturing of cheese, ice cream and other dairy products and organoleptic evaluation of foods. He also coached the dairy products judging team represent- ing the University of Kentucky in a number of intercollegiate regional and national contests. Students could always look to him for under- standing and help. Dr. Freeman made significant contributions in studies involving the improvement of milk quality, effect of milk quality on yield of cheese and factors affecting.the freezing point of milk. He was author or co-authored over 70 scientific papers and co-authored one book. Minutes, University Senate, September 14, l992 PrOfessor Freeman served the dairy food industry of Kentucky and the nation in many ways. He organized the Florida Association of Milk Sanitarians and served as its first president. He was a charter mem- ber and former president of the Blue Grass Section of the Institute of Food Technologists and served on the Board of Directors of the Dairy Products Association of Kentucky and was an advisor to the Kentucky State Board of Health. In l968, Dr. Freeman was honored by the American Dairy Science Association with the "Distinguished Service to the Dairy Industry of the South” award. Professor Freeman held membership in Gamma Sigma Delta where he served as local president of the Kentucky chapter and historian of the national association. He was also a member of Sigma Xi, Phi Sigma, AAAS (Fellow), the American Dairy Science Association, Institute of Food Technologists, International Association of Milk, Food and Environmental Sanitarians, and optimist International. He served as secretary-treasurer, vice president and president of the Southern Division of American Dairy Science Association. He also chaired many important committees, both at the local and national level. Dr. Freeman was a charter member of the Southern Hills United Methodist Church in Lexington and was an active leader of its educational programs where he served as a member of its Board of Directors. Colleagues of Dr. Freeman will long remember his wit and dry humor which was always present in staff meetings, conferences or informal groups. He is survived by his wife, Virginia Atkins Freeman, a daughter, Coranell (Nell) Newton of Lexington; a stepdaughter, Barbara Duff of Collegedale, Tennessee; a stepson, James Atkins of Lexington, and two grandchildren. Professor Moody asked that this resolution be included in the minutes of this meeting and that a copy be sent to Professor Freeman's family. The Chairperson asked that the Senate stand for a moment of silence in recog- nition of Professor Freeman. The Chair recognized the Chair-elect of the Senate, Professor Daniel Fulks from Business and Economics, to present a resolution. SPECIAL RESOLUTION l99l-1992 SENATE COUNCIL CHAIR September 14, 1992 On behalf of the Senate Council and the full University Senate, it is with pleasure that I offer this resolution in recognition of our re- tiring presiding officer, Professor Marcus T. McEllistrem. Professor McEllistrem's service as Chair of the Senate Council during the l991-l992 academic year was exemplary. His leadership was untiring Minutes, University Senate, September 14, l992 and professional; his style thordugh and diplomatic; his demeanor assertive but cooperative. With a constant awareness of and concern for the benefit of the University community, he promoted a true team spirit. Professor McEllistrem's term in office occurred at a time when scrutiny, transition, and administrative and academic restructuring were at the forefront of the University's agenda. The year's agenda included the on-going university self-study, the development of the revised strategic plan, and the revision of the Administrative Regulations. Throughout the year, Marc served as a strong liaison with the university administration, especially President Methington. From his vantage point as presiding officer of the Senate and as a member of the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences, Marcus was constantly a champion of the desires and needs of the faculty. And in working with the various committees of the Senate he was also effec- tive in soliciting the involvement of the faculty in ensuring the successful accomplishments of the respective committees. Marc's role in the revision of the University Administrative Regulations deserves special mention. He served as the only faculty representative on the committee to rewrite the regulations, a tedious, thankless, less than inspiring task, but one of great importance. Professor McEllistrem's leadership was particularly effective in directing four significant, complex, and potentially controversial documents through the bureaucratic maze. As a result, the new teach- ing portfolio regulations, as well as the honor codes for both the College of Medicine and the College of Dentistry have been approved. The Honor Code for the College of Law will be presented for approval this Fall. Marc‘s leadership was critical to the success of each of these proposals. ‘ For the past several years, this University had managed to avoid the dire budgetary problems which had befallen many of the nation's insti- tutions. Midway through Marc's term in office, however, the inevi— table budget shortfall was announced. The fact that the constriction was imposed at mid-year exacerbated the problem, yet Marc represented the interests of the faculty and support staff admirably during the ensuing deliberations. By maintaining strong lines of communication with the University Community, Marc not only continued but improved upon many excellent traditions which had been established by previous Senate leaders. Breakfasts with the President proved to be a very effective informal forum. In addition, invited guests at regular Council meetings and special functions included Chancellors, vice presidents,~and other administrative officials. Marc's style was extremely conducive to exchanging ideas and sharing concerns. Only a former Senate Council Chair can fully appreciate the magnitude of the daily duties of the position over and above the much more -visible leadership role. Marc managed to provide timely and equitable Minutes, University Senate, September 14, l992 attention to the immeasurable volume of forms and petitions repre- senting the myriad of requests with which the Council Chair must contend. He dispatched his duties with a clear and sincere concern for the welfare of the University's students, faculty, and the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Professor McEllistrem, please accept the sincere thanks and recognition of the Senate Council and the University Senate for your energetic dedication to the University Community, your laudable leadership, and your interminable spirit of cooperation. Professor McEllistrem was given a round of applause. Professor Fulks requested that the resolution be included in the Minutes of the University Senate and a copy be given to Professor McEllistrem. The Chair thanked Professor Fulks for the resolution. The Chair recognized Professor Daniel Fulks, Chair-elect of the Senate Council, for the first action item on the agenda. Professor Fulks, on behalf of the Senate Council, moved approval of the proposed Honor Code for the College of Law. The proposal was circulated to members of the Senate under the date of 27 August l992. Professor Fulks stated that proposed Honor Code closely follows the Medical School and Dental School Honor Codes which were approved last year. In the second paragraph of the proposal, the College has received input from the University Legal Counsel as well as the University Ombud. The Committee on Admissions and Academic Standards reviewed several documents including recommenda— tions from the previous year relative to the Code, the current Senate Rules on cheating and plagiarism, and the Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook. The Rationale for the proposal is stated on Page 2. Note also the implementation date on the back page. The Code would be approved from the period Fall Semester l992 until June 30, 1996. During the l995-96 aca- demic year, all colleges with honor codes will meet with the Senate Admission and Academic Standards Committee to review their experiences with their codes, discusss the strengths and propose common wording and methods of procedure. Professor Piecoro stated that since the Senate Council recommends approval no second is needed. The floor was opened for discussion. There was no discussion. In a voice vote on whether or not to adopt the Honor Code for the College of Law the motion unani- mously passed and reads as follows: AGENDA ITEM: University Senate meeting, Monday, September 14, 1992. Proposed amendment to University Senate Rules, Section IV, Proposed Honor Code: College of Law. Minutes, University Senate, September l4, l992 Background and Rationale: Attached is the final version of the Honor Code Proposal from the College of Law as approved by the l99l-92 Admissions and Academic Standards Committee and modified and approved by the University Senate Council. In addition to requesting and receiving input from University Legal Counsel and the University Ombud, the Committee on Admissions and Academic Standards reviewed 1) the recommendations from the l990-9l Admissions and Academic Standards Committee rela- tive to the Code, including comments from then University Ombud, Dr. Gretchen LaGodna, 2) the current Senate Rules on cheating and plagiarism, and, 3) the Student Rights and Responsibilities booklet. The Committee on Admissions and Academic Standards believes the College of Law has made a good argument for the initiation and participation of students in the management and disposition of cheating and plagiarism. Such activity is part of the learning and professionalization process that must take place. Unfortu- nately the current Senate procedures for handling cheating and plagiarism make no provision for student initiation or partici- pation. The implementation of an Honor Code is the only mechanism currently available to obtain this participation- The Law Honor Code is one of several recently proposed. While the Committee recognizes that a proliferation of different Codes may be confusing and a uniform template of procedures and wording may be more desirable, few colleges have sufficient experience to allow development of a uniform template. The suggested procedure [see NOTE, page 2] to allow colleges to adopt different Codes, gain experiences with the Codes, and, after some years of expe- rience, meet to compare experiences and develop a uniform template makes much more sense than recommending a uniform template at this time. The Committee also feels the overall concept of students being honorable and operating under a student governed honor code is desirable for the entire campus. Whether such a system may be practical for the entire campus community remains to be seen. Students in the colleges submitting Codes [Dentistry, Medicine, Law] tend to be more mature. They are in classes together for a number of years and represent a smaller, more tightly knit group than students in other programs. These students usually know each other fairly well, and because they take almost all of their coursework in one college, should be influenced by the philosophy and principles of that college to a greater extent than students in other majors. Because of this the Committee feels Honor Codes are more likely to be successful in the professional schools. The attached proposal is recommended for adoption by the Senate Committee on Admissions and Academic Standards and the University Senate Council. ************** .Minutes, University Senate, September l4, l992 Implementation Date: Fall, l992. NOTE: This Code will be approved from the period Fall Semester, 1992 to June 30, l996. During the l995-96 academic year, all colleges with Honor Codes will meet with the Senate Admissions and Academic Standards Committee to review their experiences with their Codes, discuss the strengths and weaknesses of their Codes and propose common wording and methods of procedure. If it becomes apparent that common wording is not appropriate and workable then a justification for individual Codes shall be formulated and the individual proposals resubmitted. One person or group from each college shall be appointed by the college now to follow the working of the Code and be responsible for reporting in l995-96. Attachment UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY COLLEGE OF LAW HONOR CODE Preamble ‘ The students of the University of Kentucky College of Law, in recognition of our responsibility to foster integrity and honor within our profession, to encourage an atmosphere of mutual trust and confidence among ourselves and the faculty, and to promote respect for ourselves and the College of Law, do hereby affirm and this day undertake to live within the privileges and duties accorded to us and required of us by this Code of Honor and its attached Appendices. ARTICLE I Sc0pe of the Honor Code The Honor Code applies to any law student engaged in any academic endeavor in or from the University of Kentucky College of Law. "Academic endeavor" means classroom and class-related activities including out-of-class assignments, placement and co-curricular activities taken for credit. Application of the Honor Code is limited to incidents which occur in relation to an academic endeavor or affect a student/s performance in an academic endeavor. Expectations of behavior consistent with this Code apply to all academic endeavors in or outside the College of Law; however, academic offenses committed outside the College of Law are subject to regular University procedures and sanctions. Minutes, University Senate, September 14, l992 ARTICLE II Administration of the Honor Code The students and faculty of the College of Law shall be responsible for implementing the Honor Code. The Honor Council will be responsible for administering the Honor Code in accordance with its purpose, sc0pe and procedures. No academic right of students, including the right of appeal to the University Appeals Board and the right to consult with the Academic Ombud, shall be abrogated by the Operation of this Code. ARTICLE III Violations of the Honor Code l. Lying A law student shall not deliberately misrepresent the truth in areas relating to academic performance. 2. Cheating A law student shall not cheat. 3. Stealing A law student shall not intentionally take or acquire without permission any property for academic advantage. 4. Interference with Academic Pursuits A law student shall not engage in conduct intended to interfere with the academic performance of any member of the College community. 5. Failure to Report a Breach of Honor A law student shall not fail to report a breach of the Honor Code. ARTICLE IV Amendment Amendments and revisions to the Honor Code shall be approved by a majority vote of the Honor Council, the College of Law Faculty and the University Senate. Minutes, University Senate, September 14, 1992 , STUDENT AGREEMENT. 1, , have read the College of Law Honor code and its attached Appendices, understand them, and agree to abide by their provisions. (Signature) Minutes, University Senate, September 14, l992 APPENDIX A Comments to Article III 1. Lying Lying to any member of the College community is a violation of the Honor Code. If an individual lies concerning some matter but, later, on his or her own initiative, tells the truth concerning the same matter before he or she is confronted with committing a breach of honor, this shall be considered a mitigating factor in the case. The offense of lying includes (a) misrepresentation of academic records to potential employers and (b) falsification, attempted falsification, or other misuse of academic records. One who testifies before the Honor Council and lies has committed an honor offense. Such offense will be adjudicated separately from the offense in which that person is testifying. 2. Cheating Cheating is defined by its general usage. It includes, but is not limited to, the wrongful giving, taking or presenting of any information or material by a student with the intent of aiding himself or herself or another on any academic work. The offense of cheating encompasses the use of fraud, deceit or plagiarism on any examination, assignment or project. Cheating on an examination can take a wide variety of forms including the following: 1) discussing the examination during the examination with anyone except the instructor or the instructor/s substitute unless specifically authorized to do so by the instructor; 2) giving, receiving, or soliciting unauthorized aid during any examination, take-home examination, or make-up examination before or after the regularly scheduled examination has been administered; 3) using any materials in any examination except those which are specifically authorized by the instructor; 4) exchanging materials with another student during the examination unless specifically permitted to do so by the written examination instructions; and 5) violating any rules that the instructor has established. Plagiarism is the act of presenting as one/s own the information, ideas, organization or phrasing of another source. The appropriate section of the Senate Rules dealing with plagiarism is hereby adopted, and may be consulted for additional guidance. 3. Stealing The offense of stealing includes but is not limited to the theft or conversion of property belonging to the College or located on its premises or to any property of a member of the College community. Minutes, University Senate, September 14, 1992 The misappropriation or destruction of property needed by other students for a specified academic endeavor such as the first-year legal writing program, any mOOt court competition or law journal program is a violation of the Code. The offense also includes removing books from the library without checking them through proper channels. Taking of property for reasons other than to gain academic advantage does not fall within the scope of this Code, and shall be governed by the Code of Student Conduct. 4. Interference with Academic Pursuits The offense of Interference with Academic Pursuits includes: hiding or defacing library or other academic materials; misusing the Code to harass another student; failing to maintain the confidentiality of any hearing or proceeding under this Code; inappropriately disclosing confidential or protected academic record information; or disrupting another student/s academic endeavors. 5. Failure to Report a Breach of Honor A law student having actual knowledge that another student has committed a violation of the Code shall report such violation to the Honor Council. Failure to report a known infraction is in itself a violation of the Honor Code. The basis of the Honor Code rests upon each student/s acceptance of the responsibility to act honorably and to uphold the code of honorable conduct. For this system to be effective, each student must acknowledge that he or she will not accept dishonorable conduct among fellow students. Therefore, the responsibility of a stUdent to report infractions is a vital part of the Honor Code. Similarly, each student is obligated to testify as a witness in any proceeding related to the administration of this Code if called upon to do so. APPENDIX B Organizational Framework l.
