Dr. Bell gave an update on the status of the contracted pay issue for professors developing RODP courses. For the two RODP bachelors degrees, TBR reimburses the University $6000 for a new course placed on-line and $3500 for the conversion of a course to on-line. Currently, the TBR RODP Curriculum Committee solicits proposals in particular areas when it desires additional course work to be on-line. If the RODP Curriculum Committee accepts the proposal, then the University, through the Academic
Affairs Office, contracts with the faculty member for the preparation of the on-line course. The faculty member receives pay as contracted when the on-line course is accepted by the RODP Curriculum Committee. Presently, Tennessee Tech contracts the full amount with faculty ($6000 or $3500). Tech is the only TBR school contracting the full amount. Questions were asked relative to payments for specific faculty. The Academic Affairs Office will follow up on these reported problems. Also discussed were the issues of academic freedom and intellectual property relative to the TBR on-line courses. Dr. John Harris, who serves on the RODP Curriculum Committee, is the person to consult on these matters.
Dr. Zagumny stated that editorial changes are needed on the tenure review documents and the agreements on responsibility forms to include the new categories to make the forms compatible. Academic Affairs will follow up on the editorial changes.
Motion by Dr. Cho seconded by Ms. Rowe to adjourn. The meeting ADJOURNED at 3:30 p.m.
