Dr. Comer informed the Senate that this document provides a procedure to be followed by individuals on this campus who desire to do research. Two questions of concern were (1) whether the document contained sufficient guidelines, and (2) whether this document applied to conducting a poll. Dr. Comer, Page 2 said yes to the first issue, and that classroom polls were not included in coverage. It was suggested by Dr. Dorr that in the last section of the document the following should be added: (and approved by the Chancellor). Another change suggested was to change Institutional Committee to (Institutional Research Committee). The document passed with the noted editorial changes. III. Report of Institutional Development Committee A. PC Document #8 - Statement of the Institutional Development Committee's Role in the Development of Academic Programs and Tracks. Dr. Stevens stated that at a previous meeting it was decided that this document be tabled until Dr. Browning could be present to answer questions on this document. Dr. Browning moved and Dr. Williams seconded that this document be taken off of the table. Dr. Browning stated that this document is the result of some questions existing in the Planning Council and the Institutional Development Committee which reaffirms Senate Document #82 of last year. The document restates the role of the IDC as stated in the document approved by the Senate. The problem came up with the Council's review of the long-range plan. It has been determined in the Planning Council that academic matters would come to the Senate and the IDC would review new programs and tracks and forward the review to the Senate. The APC reviews the modifications of programs and tracks. The motion carried. B. Other Business. Dr. Browning stated that the Committee is working on the proposal to develop a student evaluation of faculty. IV. Report of Faculty Welfare Committee A.

Dr. Greenawalt stated that at an earlier meeting the Faculty Welfare Committee presented a survey of the low pay scale that UNCA has in comparison with other campuses in the state. He stated that the summer school salary this summer will be higher because of the transfer of funds from the supply budget to the salary budget. For a more permanent solution, FWC Document #4 requests the Senate to adopt the statement whereby summer school pay would be proportional to the regular pay. After some discussion Dr. Gillum moved and Dr. Grams seconded that the following should be added. (The scale should be reviewed on a regular basis by the appropriate administrative officers and by the Faculty Welfare Committee with the intent of Page 3 insuring that salaries are maximized whenever possible).
