Fairfield UniversityGeneral Faculty MeetingSeptember 16, 2016Minutes of MeetingThese minutes were approved by the General Faculty on October 14, 2016.1.AnnouncementsGeneral Faculty Secretary Susan Rakowitz called the meeting to order at 3:33 and introduced ProfessorTracey Robert, the President’s appointee for Faculty Chair for 2016-2017.Prof. Robert invited Prof. Walt Hlawitschka to offer a remembrance of Professor Emeritus, Michael Tucker:We lost Michael Tucker this summer, after he lost a brief battle with cancer. He retired from Fairfieldjust a few months ago, after 28 years of service. He retired while in good health and with high hopes ofmoving to Seattle and exploring the Pacific-West. He started feeling ill in February. When told that hehad terminal cancer, Mike asked me to tell his colleagues: “Don’t wait too long to retire!” I know whathe really meant: “Life is uncertain. Life is what happens to you while you are planning for it. Get to thedoing, and don’t worry so much about the planning.”For Mike, teaching here at Fairfield was not just a means to an end. Mike loved his time at Fairfield, andhe was engaged in so many aspects of the University. He taught in my department, the FinanceDepartment, in the Dolan School of Business. Mike and I started the same year as Assistant professorsin 1988.Mike was engaged with our undergrads. Let me share one story: Many years ago, Mike helped a group ofstudents petition the Board of Trustees to set aside endowment funds to be managed by students. Whenthe Board granted this request, it came with disappointing restrictions that would exclude some of thestudents who worked so hard on the proposal. Mike jumped into action with an alternative plan. Hehelped find an “outside investor” that allowed the students to independently manage a small portfolio.This small group of students grew over the years to a very large group of students. Ten years later, theFairfield Investment Group has involved hundreds of students is still going strong today.Mike was engaged with his faculty colleagues.1. He was a dependable member of the Faculty book club.2. He was one of handful of faculty leading the charge for a more sustainable University campus.3. He published over 60 articles with over a dozen different faculty members.4. He traveled with Faculty on University sponsored trips to Russia and Haiti.5. In Haiti, he worked with Winston Tellis to bring solar ovens to a “startup bakery.” He later publisheda case about it.Many of you know Mike through his work on our University Healthcare Plan. Mike has been involved inevery initiative, review, change, or evaluation of our healthcare plan over the past 2 decades. I think hefelt that his experience in receiving a liver transplant gave him valuable insight into how the systemworks. Last Fall, during his final semester on campus before retiring, Mike was an active member of theHealth Care Committee. Even though the proposals before the committee would have on effect on him,he worked tirelessly to serve the University community and leave behind a better healthcare plan. Ifound this inspiring.I personally found Michael to be a great colleague and a great friend. My discipline, Finance, by itsnature, goes to the heart of capitalism: competition and competitive markets. Mike taught and believedthat the competitive nature of free markets lead to the best economic outcomes. But Mike also believedin social justice and in providing a safety net for the more vulnerable members of our society. Hebelieved in “community” and thought that all members of the Fairfield University community, faculty,students, and administrators, should all work together to make Fairfield a great place to work and study.And he believed that while competition is great for markets, cooperation is what is needed at a universityGeneral Faculty MeetingMinutes of MeetingSeptember 16, 2016Page1
like Fairfield. We need to work together, support one another, and always be aware and care for the morevulnerable among us.Mike Tucker will be missed.Dean Don Gibson added that a memorial was scheduled for November 2, 4-5 in the Chapel.
