Candidate Statement Why serve as Faculty Senate Chair twice? My response is simple: there is still work to be finished. More importantly, with my recent experience, I believe I can be an even more effective, motivational leader in accomplishing the tasks that remain before the Senate. As the current Chair, I have aspired to the four characteristics I described in my previous candidate statement: 1) encouraging passionate, intrinsic involvement from all Senators, 2) acting proactively and skillfully in matters germane to faculty, 3) supporting the goals of other UW governance groups, and 4) fostering deeper professional and personal relationships to enhance our ability to work together. I trust these qualities have been evident in my service to this point and I will continue to do all I can to enact them. With a new UW President beginning her tenure in AY ’16-’17, I believe we have a unique opportunity to rethink and potentially reshape the role of the Senate in shared governance at UW. Relative continuity in the Chair’s role will help ensure that current priorities, including re-establishing the Graduate School and addressing both external and internal salary compression at UW, will remain visible. Just as important, new undertakings, such as reorganizing the Senate to be more streamlined, timely in its actions, and further respected as a governance group, can begin. I believe I have the understanding of how UW functions and the relationships necessary with the UW Board of Trustees, administrators, and other campus constituents to help make these and other changes occur.

SHORT BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Timothy F. Slater, Ph.D., is a Professor at the University of Wyoming where he holds the Wyoming

Excellence in Higher Education Endowed Chair for Science Education. He is the Editor-in-Chief for

the Journal of Astronomy & Earth Sciences Education. Dr. Slater is a frequently invited lecturer on

contemporary strategies for innovative college teaching because of his decades-spanning work

conducting research on college students’ learning strategies and his longstanding experiences

teaching early career professors across the world how to teach more effectively. Prior to joining the

faculty at the University of Wyoming, Dr. Slater was a tenured professor in the Astronomy

Department at the University of Arizona where he built the first Ph.D. program in discipline-based

astronomy education research. Dr. Slater has been elected for multiple-terms on the Councils and

Boards of Directors for the American Astronomical Society, Astronomical Society of the Pacific,

National Science Teachers Association, and Society of College Science Teachers.

CANDIDATE STATEMENT Once a revered community of intellectual engagement, the environment of higher education is at risk

to being overly influenced by government and commercial short-term interests. I am committed to

aggressively supporting a university community that thrives under the banner of academic freedom

and serves as a place to welcome challenges to conventional thinking.

STATEMENT

Thanks in part to the work of faculty and staff senates, we have had an open search for president and – may

God love us – 129 years after UW’s founding, the Equality State finally has a woman at the helm. This shows

that pressure works, supplemented perhaps by shame about the last ‘confidential’ search and some fresh blood

among the trustees. But having said that, particularly given the legislature’s continuing Erection Complex, I

harbor doubts about how best to influence Old Main and the trustees. One thing I do know: whining into our

beer about faculty powerlessness does no good at all.

The faculty senate’s voice is important. Several of us recently established the University of Wyoming

Faculty Association to supplement that voice. Please consider joining. Once-a-month meetings of the senate

during the academic semester will not persuade the legislature, Old Main and the Trustees that the people who

help create UW each day in the classroom occasionally have useful thoughts about the institution. A UWFA

web site should be developed by the time you read this.

If elected secretary of faculty senate, I will seek to ensure that the faculty’s voice is heard, specifically with

regard to salaries, ‘retention bonuses’, disproportionate emphasis on athletics, and undue influence by the UWF

in setting, as opposed to following, institutional priorities.

Statement After a successful 21-year career practicing law, I entered academia 16 years ago as a short-term-contract instructor at the University of Michigan. I have held several full-time but non-tenure track faculty appointments since then. In 2012 I accepted employment as a tenure-track professor

at the University of Wyoming College of Law. I have been very active in my profession, serving a two-year term as President of the Legal Writing Institute (a national organization of about 2,600 legal writing professors) and serving on seven different law school accreditation teams for the American Bar Association. I believe I have been an effective member-at-large on the Faculty Senate Executive Committee, and my expertise in reading and interpreting legislation, regulations, and by-laws has proven useful in several instances during that service.

Statement

It remains a critical time at the University of Wyoming. We continue to undergo transition and I see

the role of the faculty senate and the executive committee as one to not only assist in educating the

new leadership on the University, but to also support them in moving UW forward in a positive

direction. Based on some of my experiences, including being involved with some of the biggest and

smallest departments on campus, my position as faculty conciliator, and my long time involvement

with the faculty senate, I think I could provide a unique perspective on various issues facing faculty

at the University. Additionally, as someone that continually deals with different constituent groups

both on campus and in the community, I believe that I can effectively represent faculty concerns and

desires as a member of the executive committee and would look forward to the privilege of doing so.

Short Biographical Sketch

My educational and career path is one of figuring out what people do and then finding ways to alter it,

originally for scientific understanding, then for social change, now primarily for dramatic effect and as

an educator. I currently teach a range of performance classes as well as directing at least one theatrical

production every year. I have been active since arrival with implementing curricular adjustments (both

articulation and internal departmental initiatives), with student groups, and in peripherals UWYO has to

offer such as teaching for the High School Institute, acting in the Rocky Mountain Summer Theatre

season, and doing the Wyoming Rendezvous Tour. I have published several articles, including the cover

story in this Fall’s edition of The Fight Master, the journal of the Society of American Fight Directors,

and one book, which Focal Press released in 2014 (The Theatrical Firearms Handbook). I also appear

regularly and give workshops at regional and occasionally national or international conferences and

workshops, both in general performance topics and for specialized Stage Combat workshops, and after

assistant coordinating a major regional workshop in VA for several years I was able to start what I

believe will be able to be an annual regional workshop hosted by the University of Wyoming. I am

currently the Rocky Mountain Regional Representative of the Society of American Fight Directors, and

am on the ballot for their upcoming governing body elections as Certified Teacher representative as

well. I just joined Faculty Senate this Fall Semester.

Statement

I will do my best to facilitate both conversation and productivity within Faculty Senate. It is an

honor to be nominated for Member-at-Large so soon upon joining, and I look forward to the

opportunity to expand my service from representing my department to also facilitating the larger

faculty voice in campus governance.

STATEMENT: I seek to serve the Executive Council as Member-at-Large for three reasons:

1) to uphold the mission of the University, 2) to advocate for the arts as a much-needed

balance in education and in the human experience, and 3) to challenge existing paradigms

and thought processes regarding the role of Faculty Senate in the shared governance of the

University. My experience as a faculty senator and in leadership roles of my national

organizations have equipped me to see issues broadly, to seek details of understanding, to

contribute to the best of my ability, and to support what is best for the greater good.
