SENATE DEBATES CONFLICT OF INTEREST PROCEDURES

The University Senate tabled action on proposed conflict of interest procedures March 12 when several senators expressed dismay at a requirement that employees reveal their outside business activities.

At issue is a clause stating that employees should inform their supervisors in writing of any outside business ownership or operation, whether or not it is connected with Michigan Tech. If the supervisor determines that the business constitutes a conflict of interest or a conflict of commitment (i.e., that it interferes with the employee's job responsibilities at MTU), the supervisor could require the employee to halt their outside activities. (The conflict of interest procedures also include a lengthy appeals process.)

As an example, it would probably be a conflict of interest for a university photographer to also contract with the university to provide photos, Conflict of Interest Coordinator Christa Walck (SBE) said. "But if you're running a dog kennel, that's probably not a problem."

"What about privacy rights?" Senator Cindy Selfe (Humanities) said. "What if someone had a massage business?"

"The intent [of disclosure] is to mitigate any potential conflict of interest or commitment," Walck said. "I don't know any other way around it" other than disclosure.

Regarding conflict of commitment, Senator Steve Seidel (Computer Science) said it was the supervisor's job to determine if an employee is not performing their job up to standard. Otherwise, he said, the University shouldn't become involved.

Senator Debra Bruch (Fine Arts) asked if she would be fired if someone said she had a conflict of interest.

Walck said the procedures do not call for anyone to be summarily dismissed. However, if it was determined that an employee was involved in an activity that wasn't allowed, the employee could be asked to choose between their University position and their business.

Bruch said she had a Web design business and had produced the fine arts department's Web site for free.

"You're being protected by disclosing that," Senator Chris Williams (MEEM) said, since, by disclosing the arrangement, no outside person could accuse Bruch of profitting unfairly from her connection to the University.

Senator Dana Johnson (SBE) said that such conflict of interest policies and procedures were common, both in academia and in the business world. "This isn't unusual," she said.

"I'm not ready to yield my personal privacy to the University," Selfe said. "I want to put language on privacy" in the procedures.

The procedures were tabled and may be revisited by the senate March 26. Walck asked those with objections to contact her to work out alternative language.

In other business, the senate

*   heard from senate president Bob Keen that the administration had approved the proposed academic calendar with 14-week semesters.

*   heard that candidates are needed for three at-large senate seats. Anyone interested can contact Keen at 487-2346, rekeen@mtu.edu.

• heard that Associate Professor Michele Miller (MEEM) had been elected by the faculty to a seat on the Academic Tenure Committee
• learned that the administration is considering eliminating model class schedules from the Undergraduate Catalog. Keen passed on a request that senators from academic departments ask for their constituents' opinions on the issue.

STATE APPROPRIATION CUT 10 PERCENT

Michigan Tech is tentatively expecting a 10.0 percent reduction in its original 2002-03 state appropriation for the next fiscal year, Provost Kent Wray has announced.

In her proposed budget for fiscal year 2003-04, Governor Jennifer Granholm includes a 6.5 percent reduction in state appropriations for higher education on top of earlier cuts. "Added to the 3.5 percent mid-year base appropriation reductions assessed to higher ed earlier this fiscal year, our total appropriation reduction for next fiscal year would be 10 percent," Wray said.

The state legislature has yet to act on the budget, which is typically signed by the governor in May or June. If the Board of Control asks the administration to develop a budget before the state appropriation is finalized, a tentative budget will be presented to the Board May 10.

If the Board decides to wait on taking action on our FY2004 budget until the legislature reaches an agreement on the higher education appropriation bill, the Board likely will act on the budget at a special meeting in June or July.

__________

BOARD OF CONTROL TO MEET MARCH 14

The Board of Control will meet at 9 a.m. Friday, March 14, in Memorial Union Ballroom B.

All Board meetings are open to the public, and members of the University community are welcome to attend. You can view an outline of the agenda at http://www.admin.mtu.edu/admin/boc/agen0303.htm

COMPUTING PIONEER DIES

Kenneth McMillin, professor emeritus and former director of the Simulation Laboratory, died March 10 at his Houghton home after a brief illness. He was 84.

McMillin came to what was then the Michigan College of Mining and Technology in 1955 as an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences. During his 29-year tenure at MTU, he constructed the first computer at the University (in the 1950s) and developed techniques that became the basis for modern automotive control systems.

The Simulation Center would eventually become the Center for Experimental Computation, now directed by Jim Hoel.

"Mac hired me back in 1979," Hoel remembers. "Working for him was one of the best things that has happened in my life."

Hoel describes McMillin as "a very powerful person."

"You always knew where you stood with him," he said. "He was very honest and forthright."

McMillin's research spanned many areas, from simulations and testing of the hydroneumatic suspension system of the M113A1 tank and stress analysis of helicopter blades and rotors to modeling of the St. Lawrence Seaway.

"In terms of work ethic, this man had it," Hoel said. "He contributed so much. He was a mentor for me, and I'm sure for many others."

"Very few people did so many things for Michigan Tech."

Born in 1919, McMillin enlisted in the U.S. Navy and then in the Army Air Corps, serving as a B-17 navigator during World War II, in Italy. He later served in the Korean War and retired from the USAF reserves in 1979 as a lieutenant colonel.

McMillin earned a BA from Central University of Iowa, an MS from the University of Minnesota and a PhD from the University of Cincinnati, all in mathematics.

Professor Jack Jobst (Humanities) remembers that McMillin could be intimidating. "I know that undergrad students were fairly frightened of him. At least that's my impression," Jobst said. "He could be quite imperious.

"Why did I like him? I thought he was colorful, like a throwback to the quirky, colorful faculty one might read in histories of campus life in the distant past. I remember his preference for one, inexpensive suit, summer or winter, and his use of sandals in the summer, which he wore over his regular, all-year woolen socks.

"I remember his analog computer, with all its toggle switches. I remember seeing it in the corner of the lab rooms in Fisher, but I never saw it used. I heard that the staff gave a retirement party for him after he left, and then quickly dismantled the analog computer, although it could have been a useful artifact in a museum somewhere. Assembled it was more useful than the parts dismantled."

McMillin was preceded in death by his wife, Phyllis, and is survived by his son, Bruce; daughter-in-law Lorie; and granddaughters Heather and Hannah, all of Rolla, Mo.

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday, March 13, at the O'Neill-Dennis Funeral Home in Hancock. Friends may call from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, March 13, and for one hour before the Thursday services at the funeral home.

HOW FIRM A FOUNDATION: FINDING FUNDS IN UNEXPECTED PLACES

Got a dream project? Looking for money?

Someone you've never met may be willing to write you a check.

"There are literally thousands of private foundations of all shapes and sizes, and they are mandated to spend a certain amount annually," says Carolyn Weissbach, the associate director of foundation development. "And, as an educational institution, our programs and their priorities often intersect."

Plus, support may come from where you least expect it. Many foundations target areas such as Great Lakes preservation, technological innovation, the arts and the environment, providing a seredipitous fit with a number of University activities.

Many MTU programs have benefited from corporation-affiliated and private foundation largesse. Among them, the biomedical engineering department received early funding with a Whitaker Foundation grant; the SBC Foundation is supporting the Wireless Communication Enterprise; a recent Wege Foundation award is funding activities of the Sustainable Futures Institute and the Western U.P. Center for Science, Math and Environmental Education; and Michigan Tech researchers continue to work on a long-term archeology research project at the West Point Foundry, underwritten by the Scenic Hudson Foundation. Many of Educational Opportunity's programs depend on generous foundation grants.

Support is available in areas as varied as research, programs, scholarships, construction, equipment and operating expenses.

To begin your quest for foundation support, Weissbach suggests that you first outline your proposal. Develop a brief abstract and a rough preliminary budget, as well as a time line. What do you hope to accomplish? When would you need to receive funding?

Talk with your unit's advancement officer, who helps faculty and staff in your College, School or department find funding.

You can search on your own--or with staff assistance--for foundation sources at the Cooperating Collection, which has volumes of information on foundations. The Cooperating Collection is published by the Foundation Center, and Michigan Tech's is the only Cooperating Collection site in the Upper Peninsula. It also provides CD-rom search access to Foundation Center funding sources.

The Collection is moving to the Meese Center from its previous location in the Van Pelt Library. The opening of the new location will soon be announced, as will training sessions. You can also visit http://www.foundationcenter.org/ for more information on foundations; registration is free.

"We'll help anyone research foundation funding possibilities and develop or write a proposal," Weissbach said. "It's our goal to cultivate relationships between foundations and Michigan Tech." Contact Weissbach in Corporate Services at 487-2228 or cweissba@mtu.edu. More information about corporate and foundation grants is available at http://www.admin.mtu.edu/cfd/.

SNOWMOBILES, WOLVES AND ELK: THE STRAIGHT POOP

The straight poop on snowmobiling is that it's stressful to wolves and elk.

Such are the implications of fecal analyses undertaken by Professor Rolf Peterson (SFRES) and other researchers in Yellowstone, Isle Royale National Park and Voyageurs National Park, in Minnesota. However, Peterson suspects, snowmobiles are the least of a typical wolf's worries.

Scientists compared the hormone levels of wolves in Isle Royale, where there are no snowmobiles, to those of wolves in Voyageurs, where there is snowmobiling aplenty. Consistently, the Voyageurs wolves exhibited levels of stress hormones.

In addition, the scientists noted another direct relationship between snowmobiles and stress. When snowmobile use tumbled 37 percent in Voyageurs between the winters of 1999 and 2000, fecal stress hormone levels also dropped in the park's wolf population--by 37 percent.

Researchers also found that stress hormones in elk living in Yellowstone National Park fluctuated weekly, rising and falling in direct correlation with snowmobile activity.

"Those are pretty compelling data, but they're hard to interpret," Peterson said. "Does snowmobiling matter to elk or wolf populations, or to individuals, for that matter? Probably not." The availability of food is a far more compelling issue to wolves, he said. "And for elk, probably what counts is surviving the winter, when they are most vulnerable to wolves."

Such studies are made possible by a relatively new research technique. Fecal analysis is providing extensive information about animal populations without traumatizing the individuals.

"We're using animal droppings in a wide variety of ways we never dreamed of," Peterson said. "We're just completing a two-year study of wolf droppings, and it looks like we'll be able to characterize each wolf using fecal DNA. We can track an individual for their entire life, and it's completely non-invasive." Researchers can also test the cows' fecal pellets to determine if they are pregnant.

Scientists are already using a related technique, urinalysis, to indicate a moose's physical condition. "If an animal isn't getting enough to eat, it burns muscle, which shows up as urea in their urine," Peterson said.

Without asking the animals directly, it's probably fair to say they'd prefer this kind of information gathering to the traditional alternative: being shot with a tranquilizer gun and poked with a needle to draw blood.

Peterson's research linking stress hormones in moose and elk with snowmobile activity was published in the journal Conservation Biology in 2001. The coauthors are Scott Creel and Robert Garrott, faculty members at Montana State University; graduate students A. Hardy and Jennifer Sands of Michigan State University; and Jennifer Fox, a graduate student at Michigan Tech.

OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY WEB SITE UPDATED

submitted by Al Niemi

If you haven't visited the Occupational Safety and Health Services web site recently--or maybe you have never visited--it's time to check it out. In addition to an updated look, they have improved site navigation and added some useful resources. One of the new features is a totally updated University safety manual complete with links to safety compliance plans for electrical lockout, respiratory protection, chemical hazard communication and more. The section on responsibilities has something new for everyone.

To assist departments in their efforts to identify important safety training topics, the web site includes a training guide with links to additional training information. Of course, Occupational Safety and Health Services is always available to help departments get started and to provide leader training as needed. A good place to start is to set up a system to ensure that every employee receives orientation and basic safety training. It is also important to file a record of each employee trained along with a summary of the material covered.

TEACHING AT TECH: LEARNER-CENTERED TEACHING (Part Two)

by William Kennedy, Director

Center for Teaching, Learning and Faculty Development

Higher education scholar Mary Ellen Weimer's new book, "Learner-Centered Teaching: Five Key Changes to Practice,"* suggests that instructors might set about improving student learning by revisiting some of the assumptions that we take with us into the classroom.

Last week, we examined Weimer's suggestion that teachers consider sharing some of their decision-making authority with their students. She suggests that instructors look for opportunities to allow students to make recommendations about some negotiable aspects of their courses such as choosing from among a number of possible course assignments or allowing students to select dates for various course events like tests, quizzes or presentations. She has found that gradually and responsibly including students in the decision-making process increases the engagement and interest of a significant portion of her students.

Weimer also suggests that instructors might productively reflect upon what she calls "the function of content" in the courses we teach. Weimer argues that many instructors think of teaching primarily as purveying course content. The prevalent assumption about content seems to be that the more content there is in a course and the more daunting that content is, the better the course is. Weimer writes, "at most research universities, faculty can commit many pedagogical sins and find forgiveness so long as their courses have rigor and standards. Easy is never good when it comes to a college course."

Weimer questions if instructors ever ask themselves, "How much content is enough?" or, "Should the amount of content vary in entry-level, elective, major or senior-level courses?" Courses which attempt to throw in everything but the kitchen sink encourage students to focus on memorizing, regurgitating and forgetting. Weimer points out an endless number of studies which consistently document how very little students actually retain of course content over time. And yet, teachers habitually try to cram in a little more content term after term.

Weimer concludes that our compulsive tendency to pour more and more content into our courses may be preventing us from using methods and activities that strengthen learning outcomes and develop the learning skills of our students. Weimer argues that the notion of "education by inoculation," or providing students with a sufficient dose of knowledge to last them their entire lifetimes, no longer makes any sense. Given the pace and radical nature of change in most disciplines, our students' capacity to learn, and rethink what they have previously learned, is more important than what knowledge they bring with them to the workplace.

To faculty who say that learning skills are a byproduct of exposure to content knowledge, studying and solving problems, Weimer points out that there is no research to support the claim. In fact, there is some evidence to suggest that many of our present methods may teach students a variety of static routines rather than robust strategies that will serve them in an ever-changing environment.

Next week, we'll continue our journey through Weimer's latest work.

BLAST! AT THE ROZSA: "NOTHING SHORT OF BREATHTAKING"

submitted by University Cultural Enrichment

A uniquely American music spectacular, Blast II Shockwave comes to the Rozsa Center on Sunday, March 16, at 7 p.m. This wildly creative combination of music, movement, color, dramatic lighting and special effects adds up to a brand-new, exciting form of theater, one that has thrilled audiences from London's West End to Broadway. This high-energy company blazes through a seamless program of great music and synchronized dance routines--marching and whirling, running backwards in unison, or filling the stage with kaleidoscopic color as they toss and twirl huge flags, batons, rifle wands and even brass instruments. The Toronto Star reports that the show is "as edgy and cool as the latest music video. Nothing short of breathtaking, Blast! dazzles the eye, thrills the ear and stirs the spirit." Tickets are on sale at the Rozsa Center Box Office (487-3200, Monday-Friday, 11:30 a.m.-5 p.m.) or online at http://www.tickets.mtu.edu

Ireland gave us Riverdance. England produced Stomp. Now comes the American contribution to the music-in-motion movement with a cutting-edge, swift-footed two-hour event that uses massed brass, percussion and woodwinds in a mix of classical, jazz, blues, Broadway and more. There's even a cell phone symphony. "We actually utilize cell phones to create a rhythmic pattern to motivate the piece into a fun number for the audience," says Jim Mason, executive director of Blast. Although the name of the show might suggest a lot of loud music, the directors have varied both sound and visual effects to alternate from maximum drama to comic and lyrically romantic numbers.

The company of over 50 "twenty-somethings" comes from all over the U.S. Members are all former champions of drum and bugle corps, many of them classically trained. Their considerable skills are further honed with a three-month training period with 12 hours of rehearsal a day. "They're some of the world's finest young musicians," Mason says with justifiable pride. "It's not just that they can play perfectly in tune sitting on a chair. In [this show], they have to throw that chair aside, the music stand aside, and be able to do a one-handed cartwheel, stay in formation and play superbly, too. That's the combination of musician and performer we have to have."

The show owes its origins to dance, gymnastics and the powerful traditions of drum and bugle corps. It has much of the same visual pageantry, flawless precision and skill, but with the added excitement and impact that a stage production can bring. "But what makes it such a winning evening," says Howard Kissel of the Daily News, "is the cast, whose high spirits and enthusiasm are as great as their talent."

The Blast II Shockwave performance is made possible by funding from the James and Margaret Black Endowment, the MTU Student

Entertainment Board, which is funded by the MTU student activity fee, and the Michigan Council for the Arts and Cultural Affairs.
