Staff Senate President Report-Robert WallerStaff Senate Personnel Affairs Meeting

The committee continued to focus on KU onboarding and departmental orientation with the end- goal in mind to provide new employees and transfers a positive and welcoming experience at KU and in their department (especially if they are coming to Lawrence for the first time). All the information provided to new employees during Onboarding can be overwhelming because of information overload so a departmental orientation should revisit information in onboarding and provide insights/expectations in the department, KU, Lawrence, etc.Members shared their own experiences. We all thought that one + page information on the important topics would help. The new employees should feel connected to KU if they are given a brochure with their names written on it, maybe be some food coupons attached to it, or if they are invited out for lunch/dinner with senior members of the department.The committee members are pursuing additional ideas to avoid any gaps in the welcome process. The focus is on how to help the new employee settle in slowly to their new culture and environment.1. Committee reviewed KU new hire webpage and will work to develop a general checklist for

departmental orientation.2. The committee brainstormed ideas for a checklist to insure new employees have information on

day 1, week 1, etc.: obtaining KU ID, parking, directions to building, where to park, bus information, building and room keys, business cards, tour campus, etc.

Staff Senate Legislative Affairs

Tuition Assistance for dependents/spouses:

Recent conversations with the Provost show his continued support for implementing some tuition benefit, but will have to start with a small amount. During the 9/16/19 town hall, the Provost also mentioned $100,000 in the budget model specifically for dependent tuition.

The Provost has asked staff senate (and ultimately tasked to the legislative affairs committee) to come up with scenarios of how to roll this out.

Established an Action Team: Leah Nicholson, Tim Spencer, Melody Henning, Justin Johnson, Sean Seilheimer, and Michelle G-H.

Action team will gather and review information and come up with 2-3 scenarios. Action team is reviewing:

o Data on how many dependents currently receive the Pepsi scholarshipo Survey results from the tuition (and food insecurity) survey done end of last AYo The prior research gathered on tuition benefits that exist at other universities

Two proposed staff senate code changes: 1) Staggering of committee chair elections 2) Reviewing staff senate code to ensure representation from satellite campuses and USS

staff Established an Action Team: Amber Roberts Graham, Mary Dychman, Kathy Reed,

Action team is reviewing current language and will propose some revised language for next committee meeting

Charges we didn’t get to yet: Changes to University Senate Code for staff inclusion and broader representation Possibly changing our committee name to better represent what we really do Voter registration and promoting turnout

Policies – either pending or out for comment period by Policy Office: Out for comment: Email of 9/18/19 from Policy Office – GRA Grievance Resolution Hearing

procedures – comment by 10/4/19 Update on Flexible work schedule policy sent or comment late May (5/22/19): Revisions

being made/considered based on feedback – should have a final draft soon. Depending on changes, may not need another formal comment period.

Staff Senate Public Relations

The KU Staff Senate Twitter account (@KUStaffSenate) has been created. We are sending out tweets that are of interest to KU Staff. If you have something of interest for the KU Staff community, let us know. Please follow us.

We are trying to mirror the same messages on the KU Staff Senate Facebook page. (KU Staff Senate & Networking).

Our committee talked about how to make sure the 2nd and 3rd shift staff members get the newsletter. We know it go to their email, but not sure when they have the time or if they have the ability to read it while at work. After some brainstorming, no new ideas really formed. So we will continue to make a few copies of the newsletter and deliver them to Shawn Harding for distribution.

Staff Senate Professional Development

PD application update A new web form has been created for the PD application. This new form should

streamline our process and we should be able to respond to applications as they are submitted instead of once per month.

The 800 word proposal has been replaced with 3 short answer fields asking for a 2-4 sentence response to each.

New questions have been added to reflect the changes to the rubric. We have removed the expenses worksheet to make the process less complicated for

applicants. Removed verbiage requiring applicants to submit a written report after their event. Senators can review the old form at https://staffsenate.ku.edu/old-pd-application

(recommend removal after changes are approved)

6

The new form has replaced it at https://staffsenate.ku.edu/staff-professional- development-fund

Summary of feedback from DEI committee on rubric changes and awards process: Communicate clear expectations in the application itself: deadline to submit, expected

word/sentence count. Take an active role in identifying under-served groups and increasing participation them (USS

Staff, operations and facilities were mentioned) Encouraged to pursue demographic breakdown of past and future awards. Primarily to

identify which groups are under-represented. Expand the examples of valid uses for the fund to be more diverse (workshops, technical

certifications, online courses) Find out what limitations exist for the use of funds and how to change them if necessary. Bias can come from sources outside of the application review process or rubric. Bias can also

be unanimous. Examine bias in communications and marketing.

Mentoring Update The Mentoring platform hosted by KU Alumni (mentoring.ku.edu) is up and running with 11

members in the Staff Senate group. Everyone is encouraged to join and provide feedback. The mentoring workgroup is preparing a Kick-Off event to introduce the mentoring initiative and

has a proposal requesting funding for that event. I should have their proposal by Monday (9/30) to share with SenEx. We are asking for a vote on use of funds at Staff Senate on 10/9.

Wheat State / Staff Senate Presents This group is creating a process to submit proposals for presentations on professional

development topics related to the KU Core Competencies. Presentations would be recorded and added to myTalent and tagged with related competency.

Amber Eshelman in HR has been assigned the project and is looking into the video/interactive class model proposed. Amber agrees that the inserting of events in My Talent is the easy part of the project, so that can happen. Getting video courses active is a bit more of a challenge and requires some IT expertise. She will get back to me when she has more details.

Amber is also talking to Kathleen Ames-Stratton for us to see if there is a rubric for leadership summit that we can copy for the application.

Staff Senate Diversity and Equity

Guest presenter – Adam Braun, Staff Senate Professional Development Chair: Adam shared an update on changes the the PD Committee is proposing to the award process to improve transparency and equity in distributing these funds. Members of the D&I Committee expressed appreciation for the increased transparency this will provide and asked that the committee provide clarification on issues that have been confusing in

7

the past, such as whether funds can be applied to travel arrangement that are already made. Suggestions included removing names and other identifying information that might result in bias, as well as encouraging the committee to think about where racial bias might be coming from in the process and working to address those areas. Ensuring committee members have some training to better identify when bias might be showing up could also be helpful.

Staff Senate Update – Michelle Wilson: The Interim Provost is still reviewing the inclement weather policy regarding closing campus when classes are cancelled. The employee hiring handbook to complement the existing resource for faculty hiring is being developed this year. Staff Senate signed a letter regarding Chick-fil-A, but no addition action is expected. In the meantime, KU Athletics signed on to have a Chick-fil-A coin toss and have expressed they were unaware campus was upset about this. Staff Senate will commit to reviewing this again when the Chick-fil-A contract is about to expire.

D & I Action Team Updateso “Unpacking Whiteness in the Workplace”— Jeff Severin: Workshops are scheduled for

the fall (9/20, 10/25, 11/22) along with Packed Lunch discussions on 10/10 and 11/14. Information is on our website at www.staffsenate.ku.edu/events . Funding from the D&E Office, CLAS DEI Office and Staff Senate will support training for facilitators. If anyone would like to join the facilitator team, contact Jeff.

o STEP (supervisor’s training) — Nikki Perry: The original charge was to assess STEP and how it addresses issues of diversity. The overall recommendation was that information included is adequate but they do need to focus more on an outcomes-based approach as content can change based on who leads the training. One question raised by the team was related to faculty development and the work they are doing with department chairs was in line with outcomes. The team is wrapping up looking at STEP and considering what additional work needs to be done. There is a need to have some required DEI training for supervisors as an alternative and supplement to what is included in STEP; e.g. as part of annual performance reviews. The question of mandatory training on campus is still unanswered. For supervisors, this needs to happen when they receive a promotion or when they are hired in. There need to be clear expectations regarding the supervisor role in creating an inclusive environment. There is potential for a line in position descriptions that state those responsibilities.

o 360-Review process: Michael Chavez is no longer able to serve on the committee. Emily Lowrance-Floyd will take on the leadership role for the team. The next step is to learn about how online systems can be used to replicate a 360 review.

o Supervisors encourage growth around DEI (Staff Fellows Project)—Sarah Thomas: There was no update from this team.

o Welcome Committee—Tiphani Dixon: The team is working toward getting centralized contacts for faculty/staff councils and making sure HR shares this information with new staff to connect them with existing resources.

8

o Outreach—Emily Lowrance-Floyd: The potential for adding an online form for people to provide input regarding DEI issues on campus was proposed, along with expanding the newsletter from Unpacking Whiteness team to include a broader audience. Let Emily know if you would like to join the committee.

o International Lens Ad Hoc—Anne Dotter: The group discussed who the audience would be, what the needs are, and what they need to know from the constituency. They are developing a draft survey to send to International staff to provide feedback, then will meet and discuss what improvements can be made. The International Council seems to be attracting more faculty than staff, so may not be addressing as many staff issues, so there may be an opportunity to work with the Council on this project.

o Disabilities Lens Ad Hoc—Julie Loring: No reporto Feedback from Summer trainings—Michelle Wilson and Jeff Severin: Feedback forms

from the Compassionate Communication (D.A. Graham, Ombuds) and Unconscious Bias/Bystander Intervention (Brittani Fults and Tamarah Dixon, IOA) trainings from this summer, which were open to Staff Senators and committee members. One suggestion was to consider spreading out the two OMA trainings (SJ 101 and Microaggressions) to reduce their workload. Michelle will ask Cody how they would like to proceed

Campus Equity Implementation Committee (CEIC) Update—Anthea Scouffas: This group is rebooting under new leadership. Anthea was able to present on the work of Staff Senate D&I Committee during the most recent issues. There have been some challenges with the Tilford Conference online system, so no schedule has been produced yet. It has still not been made clear whether the online DEI training is required, but stronger efforts are needed to get online training completed. The Chick-fil-A issue was brought up, with engagement around the issue considered one way to demonstrate support of all students. The hiring guide for staff will take longer than expected because of the wide variety of staff positioning involved. There was also a discussion about faculty taking on extra work related to DEI roles and whether that should be compensated.

Tilford Conference Proposal: Unpacking Whiteness in the Workplace Action Team has submitted a proposal to share an activity from the workshop and have a Q&A regarding the process.

Food insecurity survey results: We have results from this survey that was sent out by the D&E Office in the spring. Our committee should determine whether we want to respond in some way. An ad hoc group will review the results and provide recommendations. Brandy, Emily, and Kajsa volunteers to help with that effort.

Announcements:o Indigenous Peoples Day is October 8; Sharice Davids will speak, the KU Teepee will be

set up on the lawn, and the Spencer will have an exhibit most of month. Other events will take place throughout the week.

9

o Kit Yan, a transgender Slam Poet and playwright will appear at the Lied Center on October 9, and they will be working with FYE students and leading workshops.

o The Lied Center also received a Mellon grant to create DEI curriculum with CTE related to artists with marginalized identities.

o Let Jeff or Michelle know about any other eventso Let Jeff or Michelle know if you’d like to join any action teams.o On a difficult note, there was an incident in which graduate students were

threatened on Jayhawk Boulevard as the driver and passenger swerved to them and shouted slurs. The students did not want to pursue any further action.

Staff Senate President’s Report

Community Forum. The Provost detailed the Budget model and also discussed the allocation of dollars for a Dependent Tuition proposal. The Provost targeted $100,000. However, those dollars have not been finalized nor the policy language developed. Staff Senate Legislative Affairs is currently reviewing the language for review by the Provost.

United Way. The United Way has a new website (Unitedway.ku.edu) and a new Twitter account (@UnitedwayKU). The creation of the Jayhawk signs are in progress. The United Way has ordered new signs that we will be able to re-use as long as they withstand the weather from year to year. A campus wide introductory letter will be sent by the United Way Our 2019

Chair, Michelle Mohr Carney, and be distributed on October 1st. We have a student United Way group in the formation stages and volunteer training occurred on Tuesday, September

24th from 2-330pm at the Watson Library in 3West for those staff interested in volunteering.

The campus kickoff will be October 1st- 4th at the Kansas Union lobby. The United Way and the Center for Community Outreach will be sitting at tables during the lunch hour engaging staff and students with information and volunteer opportunities.

University Senate President’s Meeting. Discussed the US News Report on Social Mobility (US News Report) and the University of Kansas. The University of Kansas ranked fourth to last for its aid to economically disadvantaged students in the 2020 edition of the U.S. News & World Report.

The University of Kansas Student Senate produces a yearly report on “The Status of Marginalized Students Subcommittee.” The report is compiled each year by members of Student Senate to give a sense of campus climate for marginalized students. Members of the subcommittee compile research throughout the school year. The report also makes recommendations for students and University officials moving forward.

University Senate will be assisting Student Senate on obtaining data maintained by the University to analyze this issue further for possible recommendations in the future

University Senate President Report – Suzanne Valdez

To: University SenateFr: Suzanne Valdez, President 2019-2020 Re:

Standing Report – October 2019Dt: October 3, 2019

Provost Search (Starting late Spring 2019):

As University Senate President, I was appointed and served on the Provost Search Committee. Shawn Alexander (Faculty Senate President) and Michelle Ginavan Hayes (past Staff Senate President) also served on the committee. The committee conducted interviews on October 1 and 2 at an off campus location. The committee chose finalists to return to campus for more extensive interviews. No dates have been set for the campus interviews, but the committee anticipates that the interviews will occur in October and November. The Provost search engaged a national search firm that yielded a robust and highly qualified pool of candidates. The names of the finalists will remain confidential for the time being. Chancellor Girod will make the final hire decision after the campus interviews.

Vision Day with Interim Provost (SENEX Meeting – September 17, 2019):

As part of the Chancellor’s efforts in building a strategic plan by May 2020, Interim Provost Lejuez has been

conducting visioning sessions with various groups across campus. The purpose of the visioning sessions is to have faculty, students and staff establish priorities and goals for the university, which will hopefully guide our university strategic plan. Interim Provost Lejuez included SENEX in this effort at its September 17, 2019 meeting.

Bi-Monthly Meetings with Interim Provost Lejuez and VP Faculty Development Chris Brown (September 11 & 25, 2019):

Traditionally, the University Senate President and the Faculty Senate President meet jointly with the provost for an hour on a monthly basis. Interim Provost Lejuez has gone to a bi-monthly (i.e., twice a month) schedule enabling all of us to be more proactive in discussing issues of concern, as well as communicating information between governance and university administration. Starting this fall, VP Faculty Development Chris Brown has joined our meetings, which has made these meetings even more productive.

Rollout of the new budget model (Community Forum held on September 16, 2019):

The first of Interim Provost Lejuez’s budget community forums was held on September 16, 2019. The new budget model was rolled out at the forum, and the provost has indicated that he will hold more forums (dates TBD) as the budget continues to be rolled out. Importantly, the new budget model includes a start-up amount of $100,000 to be allocated for Dependent Tuition. A dependent tuition benefit for KU’s staff and faculty is long overdue. Thank you to the Staff Senate who has continuously (over many years) kept the issue in front of university administration for consideration and action.

Merit salary increases (Effective October 2019):

All university academic and support units should have completed their respective determinations of merit increases. Merit pay increases will be reflected in mid- November pay checks (I believe).

Social Mobility issue raised by U.S. News & World Report (and NY Times):

This important issue was first raised last month with the release of KU’s abyssal ranking in U.S. News. Please check this out:https:// www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/social- mobility?schoolName=University+of+KansasStudent Senate is taking the lead on discussions regarding how to effectively address this issue. University Senate via SENEX has pledged its support to Student Senate to help as needed.

Additional Items:

Governance Working Docs Group – After successfully working with KU General Counsel’s Office on revamping the jurisdiction of the Faculty Rights Board (FRB), General Counsel has asked University Senate and Faculty Senate to collaborate on a review of all Governance documents. The purpose of this Working Group is to ensure that there is consistency and cross-referencing within our various governance documents. The Working Group is comprised of myself, Shawn Alexander, Chris Brown (VP Fac Dev), Kathy Reed, Marie Taylor (Gen. Counsel) and a legal intern from the law school. The Working Docs Group will make periodic reports to University and Faculty Senate.University Senate Committees – University Senate committees have begun their work for this academic year. Thank you to those of you who are serving in leadership roles as chairs and as working members of these committees. If committee charges are unclear, please contact the Governance Office for clarification.

University Gift Policy (U.S.S.R. 10) – A significant amount of time was spent by Endowment, Governance, General Counsel’s office, and the Provost’s Office to work out this important policy. Thank you to all who contributed to this project. Finalization of this policy for vote of the University Senate is forthcoming.

Student Senate Report-Seth Wingenter

University Senate October 3, 2019

3:15 PM

Standing Report – Seth Wingerter – Student Body Vice President

Upon working with Chancellor Girod and Interim Provost Lejuez, Student Senate is looking at pursuing more initiatives to increase our campus social mobility status, given the poor current state of affairs as witnessed by the US News and New York Times reports. Last night, the Senate voted to approve an ad hoc committee to investigate the issue and pursue solutions as our administration also seeks to

gather data and ideas. Further, at our second cycle on September 18th, we had an open forum to address this problem and generated a significant amount of ideas about the populations we can best serve. Further,

at that cycle, we were able to celebrate our 50th anniversary and bring back our first Student Body President, David Awbrey, to speak.

Our e-scooters initiative is currently in the hands of the city and waiting for corresponding legislation should the city of Lawrence decide to approve.

Our Student Body President, Tiara Floyd, helped participate this week in the interview process for the Provost position and we eagerly await the Chancellor’s decision.

We are currently gearing up for both our revision of the Student Code of Rights and Responsibilities as well as the Election Code, both of which are occurring in the next couple months.

Our digital therapy initiative is progressing nicely and is taking the form of 125 pilot appointments to see how the system works for our students and will be taking off soon.

The Big XII Student Government Conference was a great experience to be able to share both problems and solutions with other delegations, and we look forward to returning to Big XII on the Hill in Washington D.C. in the spring.

We garnered approximately 80 RSVPs for our first ever alumni event. We are very excited to welcome back members of the Senate this Saturday.

Faculty Senate President- Shawn Alexander

Standing Report 11/3/2019

Still waiting for a memo/statement/critique for FSRR V & FSRR X from the Provost office so we can decide to edit the amendments, or to close the issues for now.

Academic Analytics/PRO – FacEx sent a statement/memo to the Interim Provost & Chancellor regarding the new contract with Academic Analytics. The Interim Provost will come to the October 8th FacEx meeting to discuss.

Continue to ask questions about CLAS’s merit raises (2.60% Assoc. D, Chairs & Directors, 2.40% for faculty, 1.85% for staff)

Budget Model – a series of questions about the model. The Interim Provost was scheduled to come to SenEx to discuss the model, but the subject matter was changed to a Visionary Meeting (Strategic Plan). Have followed up with questions regarding to percentages, particularly 65% SCH, the basic response was it is the smallest percentage of any similar model. Also have asked about the annual review team and governance position on the review committee. (Still a work in progress.)

Edwards Proposal – It will be discussed at University Senate (10/03)

Shared Governance Document Working Group – FacEx approved a continuation of working with General Counsel on reviewing Governance Documents. (This was approved understanding they are the Senate’s documents and it is not a fishing exercise.)
