HORSCH: PLANNING MINIMIZED LAYOFFS

Advance planning helped minimize the human toll exacted by this year's budget cuts, Human Resources Director Ellen Horsch told the University Senate Sept. 10.

Position control and, later, a hiring freeze, coupled with the Employee Severance Program and the preferential hiring policy, came close to eliminating the need for actual layoffs. When the dust settled, one administrative professional employee was laid off from the university, and eight employees saw their hours or wages reduced because of changes in their job or transfers to other, lower-paid positions. One nontenure-track faculty member's position was not renewed.

Two UAW employees actually saw an economic advantage as they moved into higher-paid jobs, Horsch reported.

The pain for employees was minimized in part because of the ESP. Thirty-one employees participated in the program, which provided a severance package for those leaving the university. Among them, 16 were transfers from RSVP, a retirement benefit program.

Plus, position control and the hiring freeze had created numerous vacancies over the past year, so one professional staffer who would otherwise have been laid off had an opportunity to take another position that had not yet been filled, thanks to the preferential hiring policy. "The senate deserves the credit for this," Horsch said. "You developed this policy."

MTU is currently down 61 positions, Horsch said. And the hiring slowdown allowed many departments to reach their budget reduction goals without laying off employees.

Position control also helped reduce disruption during the UAW "bumping" process, in which union members with seniority can take over the jobs of members with less seniority when positions are cut. In this case, clerical workers whose jobs were eliminated were able to move into positions that had not been filled.

"I'm glad we were prepared," Horsch said. "I'm not happy about what happened, and it's been hard on everyone." But the process has been far better than the layoffs of 1991, which happened precipitously. About 50 employees lost their jobs.

Senator Susan Martin (Social Sciences) said that the reduction in positions has meant that, in her department, one part-time clerical worker is taking the place of two full-time clerical positions. "We still have the same workload, but it's spread over fewer positions," she said.

Horsch said that, in such cases, departments need to decide what work to cut. "You can't expect the workload to remain the same," Horsch said.

Vice Provost and Dean of Student Affairs Les Cook gave a talk on changes in the Office of Student Affairs. He noted the recent increase in freshman retention, from 76 percent to 80 percent, and praised Bonnie Gorman, director of first-year programs, and her staff for their efforts. Pat Gotschalk,  the new student judicial affairs officer, is concentrating on discipline, and the office is recruiting another staff member to focus on Greek life, community involvement and leadership.

Cook said he is planning to form a commission of students, staff and faculty to look at student issues and work to remove obstacles to their success at Michigan Tech. "We need everyone at the table to see what works and what doesn't work," he said.

In other business, the senate

* agreed to revisit its procedures for evaluating the university president, with the goal of streamlining the process. Senators have been concerned that the Board of Control may not consider the senate's evaluation of President Curt Tompkins in its own evaluation of the president. The senate is beginning its quadrennial evaluation of the president, which typically takes about a year to complete.

The senate may also reconsider the makeup of the evaluation committee; 11 of the 15 members are tenured faculty. Though the goal was to have a committee that could be independent, it also meant that staff, who could have a more-direct knowledge of the president's performance, were not well-represented.

* approved Proposal 19-03, Changing Principal Investigators on Funded Research Projects, and Proposal 15-03, Procedures for Loss of Untenured Faculty and Staff Positions. Proposal 15-03 was originally passed in May, and codifies procedures for layoffs in times of financial hardship. The administration returned the proposal with minor changes, which were approved by the senate. To read the proposals, visit http://www.sas.it.mtu.edu/usenate/propose/2002-03.html

PARADE OF NATIONS CELEBRATES "SPACE-FEST" WITH NASA AERONATICS LAB

A few years ago, the Parade of Nations went back in time to bring dinosaurs to the Copper Country. In 2003, the parade gives the community a first-hand look at 21st-century technology in the form of NASA's Mobile Aeronautics Education Laboratory.

The MAEL visit complements the theme of this year's Parade of Nations, "Space-Fest." The lab is a 53-foot-long traveling classroom/18-wheeler, filled with the bells and whistles of aviation. Under the direction of NASA personnel, a limited number of local students will have the opportunity to sit at one of MAEL's 10 computer workstations and participate in several virtual-reality aeronautics exercises, culminating in a simulated cross-country flight.

The mobile lab will be open to everyone Tuesday-Friday, Sept. 16-18, from 3 to 5 p.m. MAEL will be set up by the Gates Tennis Center, near MTU's Student Development Complex. While the public won't be able to "fly" in the lab, it should be an eye-opening experience.

"The lab includes $4 million worth of aviation equipment, and it's just fascinating," says Betty Chavis, coordinator of outreach and multiethnic programs. "NASA has reservations several years in advance from schools and communities around the US, and we've been trying to get it for a long time.

"The first year we tried to get MAEL, 9/11 happened. The next year, a storm in Texas demolished half of it. This year, we got lucky. It's a one-of-a-kind classroom, very high-tech, and we are fortunate to have been chosen.

"It will be a great experience for the students who get to sit in the cockpit and for everyone else who visits, too," Chavis says.

Michigan Tech's 14th Annual Parade of Nations is set for Saturday, Sept. 20, featuring representatives from more than 80 nations. It begins at 11 a.m. at the Hancock Middle School and crosses the Portage Lift Bridge. The parade ends at Dee Stadium in Houghton, where the Multicultural Festival will offer ethnic foods and entertainment.

TEACHING AT TECH: QUALITY AND COST CONTAINMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION (PART TWO)

by William Kennedy, director, Center for Teaching, Learning and Faculty Development

William Massy, professor emeritus and former dean of research at Stanford University, says that colleges and universities must systematically improve the quality of their educational products and increase the efficiency of their processes if they are to contain the rising costs that are reducing their ability to compete with alternative providers.

To improve the quality of their products, Massy suggests that educators must first adapt and apply ongoing quality control processes, such as those associated with the Baldridge awards. Massy writes, "Many in the academy dismiss the Baldridge criteria as irrelevant to higher education . . . such beliefs stand in the way of educational quality improvement."*

To improve quality, Massy says institutions must gain better control of five domains: 1) quality programs based on well-conceived learning outcomes, 2) more coherent curricular design, 3) more complete and precise understandings of the net effects of various teaching and learning processes, 4) systematic assessment of student learning to enable improvement in processes, and 5) implementation of ongoing and rigorous quality assurance activities.

Improving control of these domains can be based on seven educational quality principles, according to Massy. 1) Institutions must define educational quality in terms of learning outcomes that enable future achievement at work and in life. Educators must thoughtfully define the range of knowledge, skills and attitudinal outcomes forming the basis of their degree programs. 2) Because learning is a process, faculty must learn to employ cost-efficient activities and environments that actively engage the students who actually matriculate.  The days of lecturing to the ideal student are over. Simply ensuring that the "material is covered" is no longer enough. 3) Faculty must work across disciplinary lines to ensure "coherence in curriculum, educational process and assessment." Students should leave the academy with a sense that what they have learned meaningfully "fits together." 4) To improve coherence, faculty must rise above the "lone wolf" mentality that got them through their graduate programs and learn to meet periodically and work together providing mutual support and encouragement. It's very difficult to achieve programmatic coherence when faculty members do their own thing once the curriculum leaves the design stage. 5) Decisions about programmatic improvements need to be based on facts. Lacking systematic feedback, academics, despite their training, tend to follow their instincts with predictable results. 6) We must be willing to learn from others' best practices. Lack of communication and interaction means one professor's successes are unlikely to affect the practice of others. 7) Activities that lead to measurable improvement in teaching must be demonstrably valued in tenure, promotion and merit deliberations.

Only when the faculty has a rational handle on the drivers of educational quality can non-destructive cost containment efforts be undertaken. Massy suggests that higher ed cost containment be driven by course-level activity-based cost (ABC) analysis rather than the traditional faculty workload analysis. ABC analysis examines all of the resources that go into delivering a particular course and seeks to determine if there are more cost-efficient means of providing that instruction while maintaining or even improving the quality of the course. As an example of the benefits of ABC analysis, Massy cites the 20 percent overall cost reductions realized at RPI when faculty implemented a new studio course in physics while enjoying improved attendance, test performance and retention.**

A prerequisite to meaningful cost containment in higher education is an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect between faculty members struggling to please their many masters and administrators struggling to balance the books while advancing the mission of the institution.

HEADLINER COMEDIAN AT THE ROZSA

submitted by University Cultural Enrichment

Newsday calls Christopher Titus "TV's most original comic voice since [Jerry] Seinfeld." Famous for his dark, edgy humor, Titus comes to the Rozsa on Saturday, Sept. 13, for one performance only at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are on sale at the Rozsa Center Box Office (487-3200, Monday-Friday, 11:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m.) or online at http://www.tickets.mtu.edu. CAUTION: Adult humor.

Titus is acknowledged as one of the leading headliners in the country. He is a stand-up comedian par excellence, a comedy scriptwriter, a film actor and producer, and has made numerous TV appearances on the comedy channels and late night talk shows. He starred in his own show, "Titus," on Fox TV, which ran for three seasons and was loosely based on his own troubled family. During his childhood and teen years he suffered through his parents' divorce, fistfights with his drunken father and numerous other traumatic episodes, amazingly coming to the realization that even though he was surrounded by so much dysfunction, he could still tell jokes about it all--custody battles, insanity, family suicides and heart attacks. At 18 years of age he left home and his deeply troubled family to make the rounds at the comedy clubs. Through sheer hard work, persistence and a good measure of talent he made it to the top.

Titus's stand-up television appearances include "Star Search," NBC's "Friday Night!" A&E's "An Evening at the lmprov" and "Caroline's Comedy Hour." A trained and serious actor, his television guest appearances include Fox's "21 Jump Street," NBC's "Columbo," and ABC's "Lois & Clark." His film credits include co-starring roles in the nuclear submarine thriller "Crash Dive" and the cult classic "Killer Clowns from Outer Space." He was a standout at the 1996 and 1997 Montreal Just for Laughs Festivals.

Titus recently completed shooting a pilot, "Future Tense," for NBC Television, which is described as "'X-Files' meets 'Minority Report.'" His new act is less dependent on his autobiographical material, but continues to feature dark, close-to-the-edge humor, which is the hallmark of his unique style. "Everybody's . . . life can be very absurd at times," he says. "Some people choose to make it weigh them down, and some people choose to laugh about it." More than likely it was this attitude that made him a survivor.

This event is presented by the MTU Student Entertainment Board and supported by funding from the MTU Student Activity Fee.

COFFEE HOUSE REVISITED TO FEATURE POETRY, PAINTINGS

Humanities professor and poet Randall Freisinger will be featured in the fine arts department's first fall event, "Coffee House Revisited," at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 19 and 20, in Walker 210. He will read new poems, written in the last two years, based on paintings by the American artist Norman Rockwell and accompanied by a projected version of the paintings, in a presentation titled "From Painting to Poem: Responding to Norman Rockwell's America."

Rockwell's covers for the Saturday Evening Post made him one of the most recognized painters in America. "Rightly or wrongly," Freisinger notes, "most art critics until recently have harshly regarded Rockwell's work, or have ignored it entirely, despite the fact that many ordinary Americans admire him." Freisinger's poems reconsider the seemingly simple, humorous paintings, opening them up to alternative readings and exploring the complexities in Rockwell's life and art.

The poems are also personal. In writing about Rockwell, Freisinger expected to distance himself from his own experience, but rediscovered "something I already knew--that art, no matter how seemingly removed from the artist's own life, frequently, if not always, draws upon the very life from which one seeks to escape."

Freisinger's book-length collection, "Plato's Breath," won the 1997 May Swenson Poetry Prize from Utah State University Press. His poems have been published in  many magazines and anthologies, including three editions of the Anthology of Magazine Verse & Yearbook of American Poetry (Monitor Books), the Passages North Anthology (Milkweed Editions, 1990), and Inheriting the Land: Contemporary Voices from the Midwest (University of Minnesota Press, 1993).

"Coffee House Revisited" is a series of informal readings and performances by Michigan Tech faculty members. Light refreshments will be served. Tickets are available from the Rozsa Center Box Office and at the door for $3.

CHEMISTRY SEMINAR FRIDAY, SEPT. 12

Associate Professor David R.
