Resolution:
Opposing Florida Senate Bill 104 Pertaining to Computer Coding Instruction (https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2017/104/BillText/Filed/PDF)
Whereas universities in the Florida SUS system currently require two years of sequential foreign
language or American Sign Language courses at the secondary school level for admission,
Whereas the study of a foreign language in K-12 and in universities prepares students for careers in
an increasingly globalized world and that knowledge of another language can overcome cross-cultural
barriers,
Whereas empirical evidence shows that students who learn another language perform better on
standardized testing and develop needed critical thinking skills,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Faculty Association at the University of North Florida
opposes Senate Bill 104 that would require SUS institutions to recognize two high school computer
coding credits as equivalent to two years of foreign language instruction.

QUESTION SYNOPSIS -I: Has there been any study done at the university to support what is being discussed among some faculty members
about male patriarchy and faculty salaries? I would like to know if there is any truth to the rumor that female
faculty members make less than their male counterparts.

QUESTION SYNOPSIS- II: Could the Faculty Association request the salaries of every administrator as well as the history of raises for all of
these individuals during the time in which John Delaney has been president? Could the Faculty Association then
report on the trends and especially the comparison with faculty raises over this same period?

QUESTION SYNOPSIS-III: The administration claims there are no resources for faculty raises. Yet salaries and raises for current and former
administrators, as well as ongoing payments to Leonard Carson, suggest that there are resources available for
salaries. How can these resources be shared with faculty, who are teaching students on the front lines and are
justifiably surprised by these raises, when their own cost-of-living raises with no increase in pay?

QUESTION SYNOPSIS- IV: In a recent "Did you know" item you said: "Not having any discipline-specific guidelines leaves Promotion and
Tenure decisions entirely at the discretion of administration, without feedback from departmental faculty."
This statement seems misleading given the composition of department P&T committees, which are made up of
departmental faculty, and the role their vote plays in the outcome of P&T cases. As well, department faculty are
able to write department letters of recommendation. And the University P&T committee is made up of faculty as

well, although not departmental faculty. How do you claim that P&T decisions do not have feedback from
departmental faculty, and that discipline-specific guidelines are the antidote?

QUESTION SYNOPSIS-VI: This morning, I saw a student riding a skateboard under a walkway right beside the "No skateboarding sign" and
this student was smoking at the same time. What is the enforcement policy on skateboarding, and how can it be
enhanced, especially given the narrow pedestrian traffic paths around the Skinner-Jones construction site where
skateboarding is often observed?
Partial answer from FA President Pyati from the floor, regarding smoking.
A question regarding smoking enforcement was asked at the December 2016 FA meeting, and the response
provided by VP Mauricio Gonzalez appears in the January 12 FA meeting Questions and Responses index on the
FA website.
Support Services Committee received the response from UPD Chief Mackesy during October 26, 2016
meeting: UPD "will not enforce" the smoking ban. He specifically mentioned not writing citations for those found smoking
on campus. This is in opposition to the stroll it, don't roll it policy, which the UPD does enforce with citations and
verbal admonitions.

QUESTION SYNOPSIS-VII: In today’s agenda packet for the Information Item #4, a table is provided for midterm grades. Over the last 4
semesters, records show that 7.7-31.5% eligible professors provided the midterm grades. Since midterm grades are
a tool to improve retention and graduation of our students, can the Registrar’s office provide the Chairs/Directors a
list of classes with missing grades after the due date? Similarly, if final exam grades are missing for any class,
department Chairs are alerted with such a list.

Subject: RE: Question from the Floor, March 2nd Faculty Association Meeting
Dr. Richard: Please see Dr. Gonzalez’s response below to the Faculty Association question regarding
skateboarder’s. Thank you, Mary
Thank you for your question. I have consulted with Chief Mackesy, and skateboarding violations are the likely
most common complaint UPD address, and UPD enforces the UNF skateboard policy regularly. When a
skateboarder is caught in violation of University rules, they can receive a warning, a paying ticket, and/or a
conduct referral to the Dean of Students Office. One or all of these may occur depending on the interaction at the
time of the violation and if the student is a repeat offender; warnings may be issued at any time, but an officer must
witness the violation to issue paying tickets and conduct referrals. However, as with all University rules violations,
a professor can also issue a referral to Student Conduct should they see a violation of the skateboarding policy. It is
not necessary to call the UPD to take such action.

UNF - United Faculty of Florida
QUESTION SYNOPSIS-II: The union has pointed out that our pay is at the bottom of the State University System. Bargaining efforts are more
focused on non-tenure track instructors rather than issues of concern to the faculty at large. And recent email blasts
have been misleading. Therefore I would like a detailed explanation of the steps for the Faculty to decertify the
union.
Answer from FA President Pyati from the floor.
Decertification of a union is handled by the National Labor Relations Board. Briefly, 30% of members in the
bargaining unit must sign a petition requesting a decertification election to be held by the NLRB. Signatures must
be collected during non-work times and in non-work areas, without use of employer resources. If the majority
votes for decertification, the union will be decertified. More detail is available at the NLRB’s website
www.nlrb.gov.

QUESTION SYNOPSIS-III: If it is true that the interim dean of the College of Arts and Science received raises over his last two promotions
equal to or greater than $80,000, how can the administration possibly defend paying a great number of UNF staff
members less than $25,000 a year? And how can it defend paying adjuncts $2250 per course? How is this just?
Responses from FA president Radha Pyati:
Twice in the last ten years, we have given compression increases to our lowest-paid employees. We recognize that
we need to find more opportunities to do this, but that does mean less in the overall pool when we negotiate our
other contracts.
With regard to adjunct pay, the questioner should note that the $2,250 referenced in the question is the lowest
amount paid for an adjunct at UNF and there are a number of adjuncts who make more. We top out at about
$6,000 in highly specialized areas.
If we use the most recent data available in the Chronicle of Higher Education, we find that in Florida when you
average adjunct payment across disciplines, the average of averages is $2,389, with a range from $450 (adjunct
teaching English at Embry Riddle) to $7,800 (adjunct with specialization in a field of business at Miami
University).
There is no doubt that, with greater fiscal resources, we could address the issues facing some of our lowest-paid
employees and we will continue our efforts toward that end. With regard to adjunct compensation per course, we
currently perform better than the state as a whole.

UNF Faculty Association
QUESTION SYNOPSIS- IV: Why does the administration employ an expensive outside attorney to negotiate with the union, when the
union/faculty do not similarly employ an attorney to represent us and negotiate on their own? We have many in-
house lawyers, including John Delaney, and all of our in-house lawyers recently received very large raises because
they threatened to walk out en masse, in a state where faculty do not have the right to strike. Couldn't the fees that
Leonard Carson charges each year be put instead toward a faculty/staff raise?
FA President Radha Pyati spoke with UNF President John Delaney about the reasons for hiring an
outside attorney to negotiate with the union. President Delaney said the following: he has worked with an outside
attorney to negotiate with public employee unions since 1991, he appreciates Leonard Carson’s noncombative
style, and an experienced labor lawyer is needed to ensure that provisions agreed to are strictly legal. An outside
negotiator also acts as a buffer for both sides. Also, he is willing to stand up to me and the administration team
when we are off base, and an internal negotiator may not feel that independence.

& Vice President Academic Affairs
QUESTION SYNOPSIS-V: Each year faculty members are asked to provide evaluations of the Provost and their respective deans, but not their
department chair. Why is this? One would think that an annual assessment of chairs would be at least as important
as that of the other administrators, as they are responsible for the day-to-day functioning of units that most directly
interact with faculty and students. Also many chairs are first-time administrators and so can benefit particularly
from feedback on their performance. As it now stands, chairs, it seems, are subject to faculty evaluations only
when they are eligible for term renewal. Yet this occurs long after such feedback might be useful. And for chairs
who elect not to stand for an additional term, this type of feedback seems not to have use at all. Why then are
chairs not subject to the type of annual faculty evaluation that their supervisors undergo (and that their faculty also
undergo): And why would the University not want to conduct such evaluations when it regularly surveys faculty
on a whole range of other matters that are arguably far less relevant to its core academic mission?

Association meeting. Please let me know if you have any questions,
Thanks

Q8: Each year faculty members are asked to provide evaluations of the Provost and their respective
deans, but not their department chair. Why is this? One would think that an annual assessment of chairs
would be at least as important as that of the other administrators, as they are responsible for the day-to-
day functioning of units that most directly interact with faculty and students. Also many chairs are first-
time administrators and so can benefit particularly from feedback on their performance. As it now
stands, chairs, it seems, are subject to faculty evaluations only when they are eligible for term renewal.
Yet this occurs long after such feedback might be useful. And for chairs who elect not to stand for an
additional term, this type of feedback seems not to have use at all. Why then are chairs not subject to the
type of annual faculty evaluation that their supervisors undergo (and that their faculty also undergo):
And why would the University not want to conduct such evaluations when it regularly surveys faculty on
a whole range of other matters that are arguably far less relevant to its core academic mission?
Response:
Prior to the establishment of a formal evaluation process for academic chairs, the Office of Academic
Affairs and Institutional Research used a locally developed online survey tool which was administered
annually. Faculty communicated to Academic Affairs that they didn’t have complete confidence in the
local survey and that low confidence resulted in low response rates. In 2009, Academic Affairs and the
College Deans established the current policies for the evaluation of department chairs: policy 2.0490P
(Annual Review: Academic Chairs and Associate Deans) and policy 2.050P (Comprehensive Review:
Academic Chairs). These 2009 policies formalized the annual review process of department chairs by the
college deans and the more comprehensive review of department chairs in the penultimate year of a
chair’s term. The current policy requires that chairs are evaluated annually, even though formal faculty
input is not solicited each year through the Kansas State IDEA survey, but is solicited for the more
comprehensive review. The decision to move to the K-State IDEA survey was based on the need for
faculty confidence in our evaluation process which would then increase faculty participation. Response
rates increased significantly when the IDEA survey was implemented and high levels of participation
have been maintained. The schedule for the IDEA survey of every four years was established in part
because of cost. It would be financially prohibitive for Academic Affairs to cover the cost to administer
annually the K-State IDEA survey for all 30 academic chairs in addition to the already covered cost of
the annual IDEA survey administration for deans and the provost. Additionally, it was a concern that
overuse of the IDEA survey for every department every year might negatively impact the value of the
survey as well as the participation rates. It should be noted that every year as Academic Affairs notifies
the deans of the department chair IDEA survey schedule, we do allow for chairs “off schedule” to be
added by the deans if they desire. However, in such cases, the college covers the cost.
