ACADEMIC SENATE: SAN DIEGO DIVISIONACADEMIC SENATE, SAN DIEGO DIVISIONREPRESENTATIVE ASSEMBLYOCTOBER 29, 2013MINUTESChair Pogliano called the meeting to order. A quorum was present (see attached attendance sheet), as were otherAcademic Senate members and guests. Chair Pogliano welcomed members and guests to the first regular meetingof the 2013-2014 academic year and introduced herself and Vice Chair Gerry Boss to those present. She thankedProfessor Gerald Mackie from the Department of Political Science for serving as Parliamentarian for the Assemblythis year. Chair Pogliano thanked Academic Senate staff members who provide support for the Assembly: RayRodriguez, Director of the Academic Senate Office, Julia Partridge, Senior Analyst and Assembly Recorder, andTrevor Buchanan, Programmer Analyst. Chair Pogliano reviewed the Academic Senate Bylaws governing theprivilege of the floor and voting.MINUTES OF MEETING OF MEETING OF MAY 21, 2013The minutes of the meeting of May 21, 2013 were approved as distributed.ANNOUNCEMENTS BY THE CHAIR OF THE DIVISIONChair Pogliano explained that the San Diego Division and its committees review issues generated by Senatecommittees and members, and also respond to requests from the systemwide Academic Council, the Office f thePresident, and local campus administration.Performance Metrics - At the systemwide level, the University of California is working on developing performancemetrics that have been requested by the California Legislature and Governor Brown. There is a proposal to tiefunding to these accountability metrics. It is expected that these metrics will include the costs of education and timeto degree, among others.Budget – The University of California has a stable budget outlook for the next few years, and will have someflexibility in the short term. In the long term, rising costs and a limited revenue streams provide challenges.Governor Brown would like the University of California to maintain the current tuition level for a number of years.In the long term, the University of California and its campuses will need to be creative in finding new ways tostreamline efforts and produce new revenue streams.New UC President – President Janet Napolitano has been in office for about a month, and has met with facultymembers and Senate leadership at various campuses, including UCSD. She is examining the Office of thePresident’s budget, and would like departments to prioritize functions.ANNOUNCEMENTS BY THE EXECUTIVE VICE CHANCELLORChair Pogliano announced that Chancellor Khosla is unable to attend the Representative Assembly meeting, butExecutive Vice Chancellor (EVC) Subramani will be providing Assembly with an update on strategic planning oncampus.EVC Subramani explained that Divisional strategic plans were received by the Chancellor in June. He and theChancellor are currently working on a document with the help of consultants and input from the campuscommunity that describe the University’s mission value statements. There are campus initiatives affecting research,education, faculty, community, and service. Instead of asking individual teams to identify what needs to be donewith respect to each of the initiatives, the initiatives have been grouped into three broad categories. A workgroupon education, including undergraduate and graduate education, student satisfaction, student needs, etc, has beenestablished. This group will provide a progress report to the Chancellor regarding what has been accomplished andwhat needs improvement. The second workgroup is asking divisional deans and academic vice chancellors to lookfor common threads that echo through unit-level plans to try to figure out what research themes the different unitlevel plans can be categorized under. For example, one of these themes could be protecting the planet and
Representative Assembly MinutesOctober 29, 20132sustainability. This workgroup will also examine whether these themes capture certain principles that resonatethrough various areas of the university. The Administration will then communicate these themes to the communityduring a capital campaign. A third workgroup is a standing committee that will be established with input from theSenate and the Administration. This workgroup is expected to be a forum through which students, faculty, and staffcan provide input to the strategic process if they do not agree with certain aspects of the process. This group willresearch the issue and provide a report to the Chancellor’s Cabinet. This workgroup is not charged to take actionunless a member of the campus community brings a problem or improvement suggestions to its attention.Chair Pogliano thanked EVC Subramani for his presentation.ANNOUNCEMENTS BY THE ASSOCIATE VICE CHANCELLOR FOR ACADEMIC PERSONNELAND RESOURCESChair Pogliano announced that AVC William Hodgkiss will provide the Assembly with an update on theInnovative Learning Technology Initiative (ILTI).AVC Hodgkiss explained that the initiative was established in January 2013 in response to the Regents’ andGovernor’s interest in technology enhanced education. The goal is to increase access to high demand undergraduatecourses at the UC and reduce students’ time to degree. 10M dollars were allocated for this initiative in 2013-2014,and similar funding is expected in the next two years.AVC Hodgkiss explained that “online courses” does not necessarily mean MOOCs (Massive Online Open Course).To the University of California, an “online course” can be a fully online (asynchronous) course, or a hybrid coursethat puts course material online, with course time spent on working out problems or lecture. The initiative is tryingto create 50 of these classes per year for systemwide consumption. These courses are expected to be availableacross campuses. The Office of the President (UCOP) has agreed to support this effort.Departments participating in the initiative will guarantee that the course will be offered two or more times a yearfor the next three years if the UCOP will fund the course. The campuses will discuss a shared revenue plan for thelong run. UCOP will ensure that students know about courses at other campuses that are available to them. Therewill be a systemwide database of multi-campus classes along with an electronic cross-campus enrollment andgrading system that will be available to students at the different campuses. The initiative will be evaluated based inpart on whether courses are meeting the objectives of the program and reducing time to degree.AVC Hodgkiss encouraged faculty members to apply. Resources for course development will be negotiated on anindividual basis after review of a proposal, which should state what resources a faculty would need for coursedevelopment, including summer salary, teaching assistant support, and/or course relief.The program is intended to be focused on UC undergraduates to lessen time to degree. In addition to the ILTI,UCSD is planning a local program that will be focused on UCSD students.Chair Pogliano thanked AVC Hodgkiss for his comments. She noted that a faculty member may apply to the ILTIand submit the course for approval through the regular Senate process simultaneously.Note: AVC Hodgkiss’ PowerPoint presentation can be found dfANNOUNCEMENTS BY THE DEAN OF SOCIAL SCIENCESChair Pogliano welcomed Dean Jeff Elman to the meeting and asked him to provide the Assembly with an updateon online and technology enhanced learning at UCSD.Dean Elman noted that online and technology enhanced learning is spurred by a variety of factors, including thegrowth in the number of students who are going to college and the needs of new segments of the population who
Representative Assembly MinutesOctober 29, 20133are either attending college for the first time or returning to college. Types of online courses that have beendeveloped or will be developed include: MOOCs – these courses are free online courses offering no course credit. The student attrition ratesin these courses are high. This format may be useful in offering a taste of a field to students, butwill not solve the problem of access and affordability. Online courses for credit – there is a lot of potential in this format, but there are many challenges tooffering classes completely online. Effective assessment is just one of these challenges. Hybrid classes – students and faculty will both need to become more familiar with this type ofcourse. College preparatory courses. Job skills courses Professional courses offered online for credit.Dean Elman explained that many of the UCSD faculty who are interested in technology enhanced learning areinterested in the hybrid approach. Some faculty have partnered with companies like Coursera to offer either hybridcourses or MOOCs. Dean Elman also mentioned other online education initiatives and platforms that UCSD hasbeen looking into.Dean Elman noted that there are many opportunities to lead in the area of online education. Technology is allowingfaculty who are interested to develop new approaches to teaching, and allows students to personalize their learningexperience. Dean Elman encouraged faculty to be experimental with platforms, and emphasized the importance offaculty leadership in these new initiatives.Chair Pogliano thanked Dean Elman for his presentation.Note: Dean Elman’s PowerPoint presentation can be found at: UNCEMENTS BY THE CHAIR OF THE DIVISION – HEALTHCARE CHANGESChair Pogliano announced that many changes have been made to UCSD’s health insurance plans this year; someplans will be discontinued, and new plans will be debuted. She noted that employees who are signed up for a planthat will be discontinued will be automatically be reassigned to another plan if no action is taken during OpenEnrollment and urged faculty members to be proactive in learning about the scheduled changes.In the discussion that followed, Assembly members expressed dissatisfaction with the difficulty in determiningwhat changes will be made and asked if the Open Enrollment period could be extended. Members asked why theredid not seem to be any faculty consultation prior to the implementation of these changes. Assembly membersagreed that a resolution should be sent to the Office of the President to express concern over the changes inhealthcare coverage.An Assembly member moved that the following resolution be adopted in response to the changes inhealthcare coverage:The San Diego Division of the Representative Assembly would like to express its dismay over theprocess by which changes to the healthcare plans were developed with little campus consultation. Wewould like to request a review of the process and a guarantee that the process will not be repeated. Inaddition, we would like to see a list, by November 8, of benefits that have been lost, and theopportunity for employees to make changes to their healthcare coverage at a later time.The motion was seconded. Discussion ensued. Some members noted that the resolution may not have anyeffect on the coverage changes this year. Others expressed concern over the process and lack of informationregarding these changes. Chair Pogliano agreed with members that there should be a forum through whichconcerned faculty members could express their opinions regarding the proposed changes. The AcademicSenate will look into developing a survey for faculty feedback in this matter.

ACADEMIC SENATE: SAN DIEGO DIVISIONDecember 2, 2013REPORT OF THE GRADUATE COUNCILAt its October 14, 2013 meeting, the Graduate Council approved a proposal to establish a new JointDoctoral Program (JDP) in Applied Social Science with an Emphasis on Substance Use with San DiegoState University. The Ph.D. program requires students to complete a minimum of 60 units ofcoursework: 24 semester units at SDSU and 36 quarter units at UCSD. The curriculum has three majorsequences: 1) Research and Data Analysis; 2) Substance Use; and 3) Social Science. To advance tocandidacy, students are required to pass a qualifying examination based on the coursework completedin each sequence and also develop and pass an oral defense of a dissertation proposal with theirdoctoral committee. Students complete either a traditional dissertation comprised of original,independent research, or three sequential first‐authored research articles of publishable quality.Students are expected to complete the degree program in four years.The Council is supportive of this academic endeavor and recommends that the Representative Assemblyapprove the proposal.Joel Norris, ChairGraduate CouncilThe complete proposal is available for review in the Academic Senate Office, 215 University *****Proposal for a Joint Doctoral Program in Applied Social Science with an Emphasis on Substance UseUniversity of California, San Diego and San Diego State UniversityExecutive SummaryThe Division of Global Public Health in the Department of Medicine at the University of California, SanDiego, in conjunction with the School of Social Work at San Diego State University is proposing thedevelopment of a Joint Doctoral Program on Applied Social Science with an Emphasis on Substance Use.The program would be among the first in the nation to uniquely focus on the prevention—broadlydefined—of the use and misuse of alcohol, illicit drugs and the enormous social and health relatedconsequences of such use. Prevention science is defined by the U.S. National Institutes of Health asencompassing research designed to yield results directly applicable to identifying and assessing risk, andto developing interventions for preventing or ameliorating high‐risk behaviors and exposures, theoccurrence of disease/disorder/injury, or the
