Assembly Standing Committee Chair Reports:
• Compensation and Economic Benefits Committee Co-Chair Jenny Dahlberg reported on an issue regarding titles that CEBC is working through on the survey. Jenny can send out a link for ASEC to try the survey.
Reports:
• Chair Heather McFadden reported on the VCR/DGS recommendations. She has attended the University Committee meetings in relation to this subject. The changes to the Diversity Framework mentioned last week have been made. A letter from ASM regarding the diversity plan was distributed. Heather M. emailed Bob Lavigna and Steve Lund about Assembly document #490 and the passing of HR Design by the Joint Committee on Employment Relations (JCOER). She is working with the Secretary’s office to put together a handbook with introductory materials for new and continuing ASEC members.
• Secretary Heather Daniels reported she is working on district representatives for the coming year. The special election for a replacement ASEC member is going well. She hired Jake Smith for the vacant position in the office. He will begin next week. Lastly, the professional development grants are out for review. The process was greatly improved over the fall semester.
Liaison Reports:
ASEC will need to fill liaison roles for the mentoring committee in the coming year as well as appoint a member from ASEC to the University Academic Planning Council (UAPC) beginning July 1. There is also an opening on the Educational Innovation Advisory Committee that needs to be filled.
Guest: Steve Stern, Vice Provost for Faculty and Staff
Steve has seen the pay portfolio for academic staff. He encouraged ASEC to consider avenues to make this available to campus. In addition to areas already being considered, this could include the leadership summer for new chairs in August.
Steve reported on the University’s dual-career program. The number of requests for assistance from this program has doubled in the past five to six years. It is unsustainable as currently structured.
Steve also reported on the faculty diversity initiative. This program has been very successful providing small amounts of funding to bring an increased pool of finalists to campus and supplement the startup package. He suggested ASEC begin to think about whether some of the faculty best practices could be adapted to fit academic staff searches.
