Chair’s Report
The written report submitted by the chair is reproduced below.
ASC Chair’s Report—September 5, 2002
· The Board approved the 5-sentence "core" version of the Policy on Violence (POV) in
June. The ASC approved POV version was added to our handbook under a separate
appendix. Amendment Committee members will be reviewing this placement in our
handbook. Sometime this fall, the original committee chair Michelle Clossick is
expected to reconvene the committee to begin planning for procedures drafting, including
determination of representation in the drafting group. Because the Charter will determine
faculty procedures in respect to P.O.V., faculty might not participate in this process.
Clossick is leading this effort because federal funding has established it as part of her
position responsibilities. (Discussion to be continued in “Old Business.”)
· Deb Fleitz resigned her position as ASC Secretary. Sue Lau was appointed by ASC
Executive Committee to fill this position.
· Mary Beth Zachary resigned as our 2002-03 liaison to Classified Staff Council. A call
for volunteers went out on July 5th to all ASC representatives to fill this position. Ron
Skulas was appointed to be the liaison.
· John Clark was appointed as our 2002-03 liaison to Faculty Senate.
· ASC Executive Committee appointed Wayne Colvin to serve on the newly formed
University Naming Committee. This committee is charged with submitting
recommendation to Dr. Ribeau on future proposals for the namin g of rooms, lounges,
buildings, and institutional programs at BGSU.
· There were two calls for ASC Committee volunteers. One on July 19th and the second
on August 22nd. This was sent to all administrative staff members via the administrative
staff listproc. I am very pleased to announce that we had 30 volunteers outside of
Council members who did volunteer.
· ASC was asked to assist in WBGU's August Pledge drive by answering telephones on
Sunday August 11th. Unfortunately, we did not have enough volunteers to partake in this
activity.
· ASC Executive Committee met with Beverly Sterns who provided updates from the
BGSU Leave Committee on FMLA. There was initial anticipation that an FMLA
University policy would be presented to the Board in October. This is no longer the
target timeframe. FMLA is currently under additional consideration at the University and
when a final draft policy is accomplished, the constituent groups will review and approve
(or recommend changes) prior to being presented at the Board.
· Joe Luthman met with ASC Executive Committee members on August 13th. The
discussion was on open and competitive bidding process for all administrative staff
hiring.
· The ASC Fall reception will be on September 24th from 3:30-5:00 at Miletti. The Awards
Committee, External Affairs committee, and Scholarship Committee members are
currently working on this important event. The Ferrari award and the ASC Scholarship
winners will be presented. Dr. Ribeau will be in attendance.
· Other discussion items from ASC Executive Committees during the summer included
guest speakers for upcoming Council sessions, ASC Committee goals and organization,
Non-Compensation policy; Summer Hours, flextime, and additional work responsibilities
due to the hiring freeze.
Respectfully submitted,
Laura F. Emch
In addition to the report, Laura encouraged all members to participate in council discussions and
the interchange of ideas that takes place at each meeting.
New members in attendance were introduced; Emily Monago, Susan Kozal, Dave Crooks, Terry
Herman, Kim Grilliot, Deb Knigga, Nicole Voorhees.
Laura reviewed member responsibilities of obtaining a substitute is a member is unable to attend
a meeting and contacting constituents. Carl Dettmer asked about the pool of administrative
substitutes that was supposed to be set up. At this point only one person has signed up to be in
the pool. Therefore members were urged to set up their own substitutes.
Laura commented on the aggressive and challenging goals facing each ASC committee this year
and expressed an expectation that each committee would meet at least once a month to make
progress on those goals.
Vice Chair’s Report
None.
Secretary’s Report
Constituent lists were sent out electronically to all representatives, as were committee lists.
Guests have been scheduled for the most part. Dr. Folkins is scheduled for November 7, Dr.

his office will be contacted to see if he wishes to reschedule.
Work will begin on obtaining nominations for the position vacancy in institutional support and
then a general election will be held.
Committee Reports:

present the award to this year’s recipient.

Emily Monago**
Laurel Daman

Phyllis Short
Ron Skulas
**Chairperson
Internal Affairs: None
Personnel Welfare:
Brady Gaskins reported that the non-compensation conciliation plan is supposed to go before the
Board in October.
Professional Development: None
Salary:
Dave Garcia reported that an administrative staff member who also teaches thanked the
committee for their efforts in increasing the salary of members who hold teaching positions.
Scholarship: None
Faculty Senate Laison:
John Clark reported the faculty retention was discussed. There is a special team being put
together to create a comprehensive academic plan for the University. Ben Muego indicated that a
new draft policy on travel reimbursement was discussed Dr. Dalton and the President’s cabinet.
Dr. Folkins indicated that the university “barely missed another round of budget cuts” in July. He
stated faculty salaries remain the university’s #1 priority. The Senate is trying to finalize a
process to gather exit information. Currently there is no means of gathering information as to
why staff/faculty are leaving the university. The Equal Opportunity Committee is working on
developing an exit interview process. Final enrollment figures for fall are slightly above last
year’s. Chapman Learning Community has experienced a drop in enrollment. Most other
learning communities are up slightly.
Classified Civil Service Laison: Ron Skulas is our representative to CCS council. CCS council
reported that their representative to our meetings should be in place by next month.
Old Business:
None.
New Business:
Meeting with President Ribeau
Laura and Robin met with President Ribeau. They covered the following:
· Discussion on hiring freeze. FAQ should be out by the end of the month. The freeze is
expected to continue until the first of the year at least. He will only approve mission
critical positions during the freeze that demonstrate clear need for that position for
student services or campus safety. Two upcoming items to watch for: the Ohio budget
will have to be balanced after elections in November. The Supreme Court decision on
DeRoff is expected sometime this fall. Both may have significant impact of the budget.
· Discussion of ASC 2002-2003 goals. Working with Institutional Research (IR), ASC
must research admin istrative staff working environments, including stress levels, hours
worked per week, length of BGSU service and why so many employees leave their
positions within five years.
· Dr. Ribeau wants feedback of two questions:
What can we / our units do to further the mission and success of BGSU?
How do we promote a collaborative team environment, not just in our units but
across units?
The question was asked whether Laura and Robin felt that Dr. Ribeau did not
think collaborative efforts were now taking place. Laura reported that there was
no implication of that. More, there was an indication that he wanted to see more
of such activities across campus.
The discussion that followed covered the following items:
· Modeling of collaborative efforts has to occur from the top down. The
expectation of these types of efforts have to be clearly stated in
units/staff goals. As long as efforts take place, all involved should be
rewarded/acknowledged. Success of groups should not be that focus if
staff members are to feel valued and free to grow in their skills. There
should be methods in place to make units accountable for their team
functions (or lack thereof). This expectation needs to be in all levels of
goals; institutional, departmental and individual.
· There should be a real perceived need for a collaborative effort. Effort
should not be fabricated. Good examples of collaborative efforts should
be given. Explore what made a particular effort a success. Reward the
risk that is involved with the undertaking of a collaborative effort.
· Review merit/super merit philosophy. Does the current environment
detract from idea of teams. Current merit/super merit focuses on
individuals.
· Are there currently barriers to the success of collaborative efforts?
Joe Luthman moved and Barb Waddell seconded the motion that representatives
go to their constituents at large and pose Dr. Ribeau’s questions. Constituents
would be encouraged to respond to their representatives by September 27. Both
email or mail could be used depending on a constituents need to remain
anonymous. The motion was approved unanimously. Laura Emch will send the
proposed questions to each representative so all constituents receive the same
materials.
Good of the Order
Mike Fitzpatrick indicated that he is looking for twelve lecture programs on campus that are free,
open to the public and of general interest for the purpose of filming for broadcast.
Nicole Voorhees indicated that her area worked with 58 upward bound students during the
summer semester.
Wayne Colvin stated that the Black Swamp festival would take place the weekend of
September 7.
Carl Dettmer stated that the computer training center in Maumee had moved to a facility on
Illinois Avenue. This building has space that could be used for other events. Anyone interested
should contact Carl.
Barb Waddell stated that the John Denver Peace Cloth sponsored by GSS will be displayed in the
Union on the 3rd floor.
Ann Betts stated that Cindy Smith is on medical leave until January.
Deb Fleit z passed out information about the Festival Series. One change; the performance
scheduled for October 3rd has been changed to the Canadian Brass. She encouraged members to
participate in the activities scheduled in remembrance of September 11. These include a world
wide choral endeavor. BGSU’s chorus will be performing Mozart’s Requiem in the ballroom on
that date at approximately 8:50 a.m. Faculty members will be presenting their research into 9/11
mid-day and the USG has coordinated a candle light vigil to take place on campus.
Robert Zhang reported that anyone needing enrollment reports or retention data may obtain it
from Institutional Research starting September 9.
Dave Crooks encouraged everyone to come out and support the Falcons in their game against
Missouri.
Susan Kozal reported the following:
