REPORT FROM THE CHAIRPERSON: RAGHU SUNDARAM
A. Requests for the FSC
1
Chairperson Sundaram reiterated the request sent from the NYPL, which was circulated to the council previously, for a member of the FSC to be part of the Researcher Advisory Committee. Sundaram mentioned that Senator Karl sent a nomination from the History Department. He was an ideal candidate but, he unfortunately declined because he is involved in other activities that might be compromised by his involvement. Sundaram urged council members to send nominees to himself and the FSC Coordinator.
Sundaram mentioned that he received a memo from the university asking for four FSC members to serve on the Stewardship Committee for the building that’s going to be taking place. Senators Stokes and Chan confirmed the four FSC members that will be on the committee (Senators Mincer, Kamer, Chan, and Goodwin). Senator Dasanayake will be an alternate if one of the mentioned four members cannot attend.
B. EC Meetings
Sundaram informed the council about the joint meeting with the Board of Trustees. The main discussions were GNU and governance. The discussion on GNU was on nothing the council doesn’t already know. The discussion on governance was what the joint committee was going to look like moving forward. Sundaram recommended to the Board of Trustees to meet subsequently with the elected faculty body in the form of the FSC and soon to be elected faculty body for the contract faculty. A third elected committee isn’t needed. The Board of Trustees will make a decision on how to handle this going forward and guaranteed they will meet with elected faculty on a regular basis.
There was also a meeting with the Provost. Main topic of discussion was hiring at the GNU. The Provost mentioned that the faculty at Shanghai to rise to 10 this year. Majority of the meeting was spent on discussing the archives that were created for the Faculty Handbook. All changes and discussion related to the handbook would now be available online. The Provost office is waiting for FSC approval before it goes live.
C. Summary of the Year
Sundaram expressed his highest praise to all the chairs and members of the FSC committees for a job well done throughout the year. Sundaram noted the headway that was made through shared governance. Sundaram emphasized that the work has barely begun. What has been achieved is the first step in obtaining the data needed to make meaningful recommendations. Continuity in leadership in the committees is very important. Sundaram recommended all committee chairs stay on for another year and select a co-chair to carry on. It is reiterated that all committee members participate in committee business. The entire burden should not be on the chair of the committee. Sundaram asked council members to choose one committee to invest their time and to be their primary focus. It was also asked of the council to better communicate with their school and departments. Sundaram announced that he would like to start involving the faculty councils of the various schools. Keep them informed about all the issues and circulating information to them rather than posting on the website and directing them there.
D. The Work Ahead
Sundaram raised a concern regarding the Social Media Policy. It has been with the council for a year and has not been discussed amongst the council. It is important that all senators read the draft policy and circulate it to their colleagues to get feedback. Sundaram mentioned sending draft policy to each school’s faculty council for feedback. The feedback period is 5-6 weeks so by
end of June the council’s summer committee can meet and discuss. Final recommendation won’t get to Administration until the fall meetings.
FSC COMMITTEE REPORTS Benefits and Housing: Committee Co-Chairs Sewin Chan and David Stokes
Final Report
See Document D: Benefits Year End Report
Senator Chan explained that the document is a better summary of what was presented in March. Chairperson Sundaram urged the council to read the document and send all inquiries to Senator Chan and Stokes.
Alison Leary, Executive Vice President Operations, NYU
Alison Leary addressed the council regarding the Apartment Improvement Program. Leary stressed that this is a new program and not one that replaces other programs. This will be a new program that adds to the needs of other programs already in existence. In a faculty housing lease, you are allowed re-painting upon renewal. This program expands the range of options if painting is not needed. The university wants to create a program that is budget controlled for the university and cost controlled for the residents. The university doesn’t want the residents to contribute anything to the program. There is also the need to provide as much choice as possible and sense of control in your home. Instead of limiting the resident to just painting, they have a range of options. Within each of those options, there is another layer of choice by letting the resident select the palette or design (traditional, modern, transitional). The way the university is staying budget neutral is the bundling of the requests. In September, the university will ask the residents to elect the nature of their improvement and finish so they can gather all the requirements and leverage the volume in order to get the best pricing for the university. This will be tricky since it is a pilot program. The university will ask for patience as they work out the kinks.
A question that has come up is what if a resident want a particular faucet or tile that is not part of the program, can they contribute something to have that item as an option. Leary brought the question to the council for feedback. No feedback was received. Senator Adelman suggested pooling the benefit so the resident that doesn’t need anything done in the current year that they can double it in the following year. Adelman pointed out that some residents may elect to do things that they don’t want to do in fear of losing the benefit.
A senator mentioned the window replacement issue in faculty housing. Leary responded that the university is aware of the window and heating issues in the faculty housing and they are currently working on improving the issue. They have started the procurement process and are trying to replace as many windows as possible in Washington Square Village by next winter. Also the university found lack of insulation in Washington Square Village and the university is trying to find an invasive way to fix the problem.
A senator asked how was all this going to be communicated to the faculty residents. Leary advised that the current timeline has everything completed by June and communication will be via email. Two layers of communication: a) announce the program and b) note that it’s only available for residents renewing leases.
Governance: Committee Chair Jim Uleman
Proposed Resolution: Amending the Faculty Handbook
See Document A: Proposed Resolution
Senator Uleman explained at the meeting on February 20, 2014, the Faculty Senators Council (FSC) discussed and approved a resolution to accept language developed at the request of the FSC and by members of the FSC Governance Committee in conjunction with members of the University Administration to be inserted into the Faculty Handbook that provides for the procedure to amend the Faculty Handbook. After the FSC approved the February 20, 2014 resolution some Senators received objections on the grounds that it appears to contradict the Five Principles of Shared Governance, and these objections were raised in discussion at the April 10, 2014 meeting of the FSC, where a new resolution to rescind the February 20, 2014 resolution was introduced, discussed, and failed to be adopted. During discussion it was suggested that the FSC might, instead of rescinding its February 20, 2014 resolution, propose a new resolution asking for assurances that the Board of Trustees will consult with the FSC before amending the Faculty Handbook except in exceptional circumstances. Uleman added that the proposed resolution was drafted be Senator Jelinek with the assistance of Chairperson Sundaram. It was discussed via email with committee members and came down to favor 2 to 1.
Sundaram emphasized that the principles of shared governance do not relate to the Board of Trustees. They relate to the faculty and the administration. The resolution states the Board of Trustees should “act in accordance with the principle of shared governance…” but Sundaram stated that you cannot act in accordance to a rule that does not apply to you. It is suggested to change it to “act in the spirit of shared governance…” Another change would be to the last sentence in the resolution. “The Faculty Senators Council asks for assurances from the Board of Trustees to this effect.” Sundaram expressed his dislike for this sentence because it places the FSC in the role of supplicant. Sundaram moves to strike the last sentence and change “accordance” to “spirit of”. Senator Uleman agrees with the friendly amendments Sundaram suggested.
Senator Tannenbaum asked if any part of the faculty handbook can be used in the court of law. Senator Uleman commented that the faculty handbook has been used in court cases against the Board of Trustees and/or the administration in the past.
Senator Uleman presented the Committee’s proposed resolution regarding Amending the Faculty Handbook. At the conclusion of the discussion, the following resolution was moved Senator Uleman, seconded by another Senator, and approved by vote 29 senators in favor and 10 senators opposed, with 2 abstentions of the Council.
Personnel Policies and Tenure Modifications: Committee Chair Charlton McIlwain
Diversity, Inclusion and Equity
See Document C: Report on Faculty and Student Diversity
Secretary McIlwain informed the council that the main concern of the committee was to address the issue of diversity starting with information and data. The information was compiled by the Office of Institutional Research and given to the committee. The committee also met with the Office of Equal Opportunity for NYU to aid with research. McIlwain presented the council with some trends that was found in his research that he wanted to highlight:
• There has been little change since 2003 in the proportions of faculty from historically underrepresented groups. There was an increase across most groups and then became relatively flat in current years. NYU is well within median scope amongst other comparative universities. How is NYU going to get out of this flat state and in a position of leading?
• Compared to 2003, a greater percentage of our total current faculty is non-tenure track. The overall proportion of tenure/tenure track faculty has decreased 12% from 2003-2011, while overall proportions of non-tenure track faculty increased 12% during the same time.
Office of Equal Opportunity - Mary Signor and Kelle Colyer-Brown
The office is responsible for faculty recruitment. They provide training, guidebooks, and legal advice regarding faculty recruitment. Goal for the year is to make an online module to help with faculty searches and recruitment that will launch in the fall. In the office there is an Outreach Resource Guide filled with publications and job banks to help with your faculty search which will be online by fall as well. The office is one of the founding universities of the Metro New York Connecticut Higher Education Recruitment Consortment. Great tool if the faculty recruits have a trailing spouse. The office also provides discounts to many job banks for recruitment which a lot are diversity focused. McIlwain asked the guests to elaborate on the self-identify procedure. Kelle Colyer-Brown explained how the faculty candidates are asked to self-identify. It is not required for schools to send in Affirmative Action reports to the Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO). OEO issued a survey to all schools except the Medical school and Poly and received information that the opportunity to self-identify is done post-offer. This information was collected by the school’s Human Resources during their new-hire onboarding paperwork. For the people that decline to self-identify, the information relied on visual best guesses. This process will be changing shortly. The OEO is under federal law to issue the invitation to self-identify. This is mandatory to happen at least at three points in time: pre-offer, post –offer, and post-hire. The OEO is currently working on a process with the Provost Office and Division of Human Resources. This is process the OEO can see how NYU’s recruitment resources are successful and where there needs to be improvements. A senator asked why Poly and the Medical School were excluded. Colyer-Brown responded that Poly was not fully onboard when the survey went out and the Medical School has their own Human Resources and OEO.
Office of Institutional Research – Rachel Maxwell and Randy Deike
The data in Document C is student and faculty trends over the past 10 years. The data was pulled from the National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES). A senator inquired about why NYU is not compared to Ivy League schools or regional universities that are in and around the NYC area. Rachel Maxwell explained that the NCES has certain classifications that they go by for the 180 school and universities in their registry. Senator Backus asked if the information is public data and could be used in other matters. Maxwell commented that the information is public but it’s usually not shared. The office is limited on how they can parcel the data.
Chairperson Sundaram raised a question to Randy Deike regarding the data. It was asked what the top challenges were in the data. Deike responded by noting certain populations of students, the number of those students graduating high school and then being prepared academically to do well in this kind of environment, with some populations of students is so small. It’s like that across the board with other universities because diversity is so important to everyone. It’s not just students of color, it’s geography and socioeconomics. That’s the biggest issue. It’s happening in K12 and in the community. Letting kids know college is an opportunity. Another challenge is funding. A lot has been done over the last five years to help better fund students especially lower socioeconomic students. But, the university is still not at the place it would like to be. An overarching challenge would be communication. Broad communication. There are cultural and community issues that are hard to break through sometimes. For instance, a lot of
lower income families do not even apply because they do not think it’s even possible financially. The university tries to explain that should not be a deterrent to apply. The cost is not known until after financial aid is processed. Another issue is if the community is welcoming. Does the student see themselves at the university? This is a very difficult issue. You look at the candidate and the percentage of underrepresented students at NYU compared to NYC, NYU is at a bit of an advantage on the sidewalks and a disadvantage in the classrooms.
Senator Morning mentioned that the OEO should bring up the notion of unconscious bias during faculty searches and recruitment.
Medical School Salary Policy – Mark Adelman
Senator Adelman presented that the Medical School relies on 2% tuition and for the Medical School to function economically it has to have extramural funding. Most of that is from patients and grant support. This is compared to the schools down at the Square where it is 80% tuition based. The Academic Excellence Commission was created in 2008 by a committee. The responsibilities of that committee were to determine excellence in productivity, the base salary, expectation for extramural funding, and departmental incentives. The committee looked at salary coverage benchmarks. What do other peer institutions require for extramural salary support at schools of medicine? The range is about 50-80% of salary must be supported by the individual faculty members of the school. The committee decided to require extramural funding and it was phased in 2008 – 2010. The extramural funding would be purely based on research funding. So if you have 100% salary: 20% is administrative, 80% research salary (60% would have to be funded extramurally). The Medical School would pay the remaining 40% of your research salary. This will be adjusted based on your other responsibilities. Every faculty member is required to have 50 contact hours with students. After this two year process, a salary reduction would go into effect. The maximum salary reduction would be 20%. The committee passed a resolution in 2012 stating there should be a base salary and salaries should not be able to go to zero. This offered financial security. Using the 25th percentile from the Association of Academic Medical Centers a “floor” was instituted. In 2010, for an associate professor the floor was $102k and for a full professor $144k. Since implementation, NIH funding has gone from #35 national to #21. The US News World Report ranking has gone from #34 to #19.
Martin Lipton, Chair, NYU Board of Trustees
Senator Jacobs expressed concern regarding a discussion about the Board of Trustees making money with their relationship with the university. Martin Lipton clarified that he is unaware of any of the members of the Board of Trustees making money with the university. Lipton added that the Vice Chair of the Board of Trustees contributed about $1 billion dollars to the university over the last twelve years or so. There is a very strict conflict of interest policy that everyone on the board signs.
Lipton confirmed that faculty will be represented on the search committee for the next president of NYU. The search committee welcomes any suggestions. The process will be completely transparent exception of the candidates’ identities. A senator asked if there will be space for elected representatives. Lipton noted that the faculty representation will be pooled from elected representatives. A senator inquired about favoritism regarding internal and external candidates. Lipton expressed that there is no view regarding favoritism. As of right now, there is no stand out candidate internally. It is a tough position to fill. An external candidate who is not familiar with the multitude of schools and complexities of this university is going to have a fairly long period to become familiar with everything. Hopefully, a stand out internal candidate will come forward and apply.
Another senator inquired about any emerging challenges the incoming president might have to deal with while in office. Lipton mentioned a challenge would be an impact of technology at a research university and the cost of education. Another challenge would be the integration of domestic operations at the Square, Abu Dhabi, and Shanghai. Lipton emphasized that the incoming president will have to be a champion fundraiser. The university needs to raise $1 million dollars a day for a year ($350 million dollars) to keep the budget balanced. Being a fundraiser is a key element in the selection of the incoming president. Lipton suggested the incoming president to be a Distinguished Scholar.
Lipton announced that his term as chair will be up in mid-2015. The nominating committee has unanimously recommended for election of Chair Designate to parallel with Lipton until next year. The person will be Bill Berkley who is Vice Chair of the Board. Lipton determined that Berkley will most likely succeed him as Chair of the Board.
ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 2:30 PM.
Background: At its meeting of February 20, 2014, the Faculty Senators Council (FSC) discussed and approved a resolution to accept language developed at the request of the FSC and by members of the FSC Governance Committee in conjunction with members of the University Administration to be inserted into the Faculty Handbook that provides for the procedure to amend the Faculty Handbook. That language contains the sentence: Nothing in this Handbook constrains the Board of Trustees from making changes to this Handbook with respect to any matter, and in the manner, it finds appropriate in carrying out its duties; and administration will notify the Executive Committee of the Faculty Senators Council if the Board of Trustees makes any change to the Faculty Handbook”, which provoked objections during FSC discussion, as it appears to be inconsistent with the Five Principles of Shared Governance adopted by the FSC and subsequently approved by the Board of Trustees, and inserted into the Faculty handbook. After the FSC approved the February 20, 2014 resolution some Senators received objections to the afore mentioned sentence from their constituents on the grounds that it appears to contradict the Five Principles of Shared Governance, and these objections were raised in discussion at the April 10, 2014 meeting of the FSC, where a new resolution to rescind the February 20, 2014 resolution was introduced, discussed, and failed to be adopted. During discussion it was suggested that the FSC might, instead of rescinding its February 20, 2014 resolution, propose a new resolution asking for assurances that the Board of Trustees will consult with the FSC before amending the Faculty Handbook except in exceptional circumstances. Resolution: WHEREAS, the Faculty Senators Council recognizes the legal right of the Board of Trustees to make changes to the Faculty Handbook with respect to any matter, and in the manner it finds appropriate in carrying out its duties, and WHEREAS, the Five Principles of Shared Governance are the recognized procedures by which the opinions of the elected representatives of the Faculty on matters that affect the Faculty are heard by the University Administration and. through them, by the Board of Trustees whenever relevant. RESOLVED, the Faculty Senators Council fully expects that the BoT will, except in exceptional circumstances, act in accordance with the principles of shared governance and consult with faculty prior to amending the Handbook and/or related (linked) policies affecting faculty. The Faculty Senators Council asks for assurances from the Board of Trustees to this effect.

REPORT ON FACULTY & STUDENT DIVERSITY Presented in Advance of the May 8, 2014 Meeting of the Faculty Senators Council
The following report details the Personnel Policies & Tenure Modifications Committee’s efforts this year with respect to inclusion, equity and diversity at NYU. Given what appear to be disparate impressions across the university about where we stand on these matters with respect to both faculty and students, and motivated by a desire to understand how the Faculty Senators’ Council might assist in achieving the affirmative action mission of the university, we outlined the following goals at the beginning of the 2013-2014 academic year:
• To inquire about, and assess the current state of inclusion (are members of traditionally underrepresented groups represented in adequate numbers amongst the faculty and student body?), equity (are faculty from traditionally underrepresented groups – primarily race/ethnicity and gender treated equitably across the university with respect to compensation, benefits, etc.?), and diversity (how does the university foster an intellectually diverse environment?);
• To survey new and continuing programs across NYU’s schools and administrative offices
that seek to enhance NYU’s diversity mission; and
• To make recommendations to the FSC and administration about ways that we might enhance efforts to further institutionalize inclusion, equity and diversity at NYU; and to make our findings and recommendations accessible to the faculty and members of the university community at large.
To these ends, the committee initiated the following actions:
• Established a relationship and interfaced with NYU’s Office of Equal Opportunity;
FSC Meeting 5/8/14, Document C, Page 1
2
• Initiated a request for information about the institution’s process for collecting faculty race/ethnicity data; and
• Initiated a request for information about the current state of diversity at NYU with respect
to both faculty and students. The remainder of this report provides a detailed summary of these actions. The Office of Equal Opportunity The Committee and Co-Chair met with members of the Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO), including its Executive Director, Mary Signor, Deputy Director, Craig Jolley, and Equal Opportunity Specialist, Kelle Colyer-Brown. The OEO’s primary tasks is to develop and carry out the affirmative action mission of the university (including collecting demographic data on faculty and other university personnel, assisting schools and departments in faculty recruitment and hiring, and monitoring university progress on diversity benchmarks, enforcing Title IX, and coordinating the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). Members of the OEO briefed the committee on its mission, and resources available through its office to assist schools and departments across the university in recruiting diverse faculty members. These include, but are not limited to, (free) resources that help faculty search committees identify, target and place job postings in venues that reach diverse populations, provide advice to search committees on developing effective language for recruitment materials, and training on effective search process and protocols for securing diverse faculty, from the recruitment phase through the interview phase and hiring. This also includes training on how to mitigate the affects of unconscious bias during the search process. Through our interactions, we determined that both faculty and the OEO would benefit greatly from any efforts that can be undertaken to make schools, department chairs, and faculty at large aware of both the existence of, and resources available from the OEO, and the input that faculty might provide to enhance any of the initiatives and/or resource offerings available by the OEO. Faculty/Student Diversity Information Request Much of the committees’ efforts focused on developing a request for information and data that would help us to better understand the current landscape of diversity with respect to the representation of faculty and students from traditionally underrepresented racial/ethnic groups at NYU, as well as the historical trends that provide context for interpreting the current state of affairs. Our entire set of initial questions that formed the basis for this information request can be found in Appendix A. Our initial questions sought insight into a number of different areas such as numerical representation, faculty trajectory (tenure/tenure track, contract, promotion, etc.), student trajectory (graduation rates, changes in major, etc.), and salary distinctions by school and distinguished by both race/ethnicity and gender. Given some limitations of both human and existing data resources, our information request was narrowed considerably and the decision was made to focus largely on representation data that included in areas where available data allowed us to compare NYU with a number of similar, high-research universities. Details about how and why we made this decision to narrow the data request can be found in Appendix B.
FSC Meeting 5/8/14, Document C, Page 2

The results of our data request is collated in a report found in Appendix C, which includes a summary of the data by Rachel Maxwell, Director of Reporting and Survey Research at NYU’s Office of Institutional Research & Data Integrity. While all the details can be found in the summary report and data visualizations, a number of interesting general results/trends should be highlighted.
• There has been relatively little change since 2003 in the proportions of faculty from historically underrepresented groups. As a percent of all tenured/tenure-track faculty in 2011, those identifying as White make up 78%, a one percent decrease from their proportion in 2003; those identifying as Asian make up 9%, a two percent increase since 2011; Black 5%, the same as 2003), Hispanic 4%, a one percent increase since 2003); and Nonresident Aliens 4%, a two percent decrease since 2003. These trends are generally consistent with comparative institutions.
• Compared to 2003, a greater percentage of our total current faculty is non-tenure
track. The overall proportion of tenure/tenure track faculty has decreased twelve percent from 2003 to 2011, while the overall proportion of non-tenure track faculty increased twelve percent during the same time. Similarly, the proportion of tenured/tenure-track faculty from all racial ethnic groups decreased from 2003 to 2011 (non-resident aliens representing the greatest decrease, and Hispanic representing the lowest decrease), while each groups’ proportion of non-tenure track faculty increased over the same period. Each of these trends is consistent with comparative institutions.
• While Asian and international students have significantly increased their
representation among the undergraduate student body, Hispanic student growth has been marginal, and African Americans’ stagnate. As a percent of total undergraduate enrollment in 2012, White students account for 40% (-1 from 2003); Asian students, 19% (+5); Nonresident Alien students, 12% (+8); Hispanic students, 10% (+3); Black students, 5% (same). Students for whom race/ethnicity is unknown is 12% (-16). Our current percentage of Asian students outpaces comparator institutions significantly, while the percentages for all other groups are slightly above or below the median percent of comparative institutions.
• We excel at graduating all of our undergraduate students, compared to similar
institutions. Considering undergraduate cohorts from 2004 to 2013, a significantly greater proportion of our students (from all racial/ethnic groups) as compared to other institutions graduate within six years. Among our students alone, Asian students have the highest rate of graduation (89%) and African Americans have the lowest (79%); the former represents a five percent increase in 2013 from 2004, the latter, a ten percent increase.
These are among the trends that deserve greater attention in the coming years. Particularly, these data prompt questions about what NYU can and should do to not just to be average when it comes to the representation of underrepresented groups of both faculty and students. Rather, we might ask, how can we lead and become an exceptional model of diversity? With respect to the
FSC Meeting 5/8/14, Document C, Page 3
4
growth of our international student population and relatively flat representation of members of underrepresented groups – particularly Black and Hispanic – we might ask ourselves how we can use our institutional stature, and international presence to further expand both aspects of student diversity? Additionally, while we do exceptionally well in graduating all of our students, in the future we should delve further, and on a school-by-school basis, into graduation rates with respect to the fields of study students chose at the beginning of their NYU career. That is, we should ensure that students from underrepresented minority groups in particular are receiving the necessary support – from faculty, staff and the university – to pursue and achieve a degree in the field they came to NYU to earn. Finally, we should look further into the trends with respect to the decline of tenure track faculty and growth of contract faculty as a proportion of university faculty. With respect to diversity specifically, we should further inquire whether we are expanding our faculty diversity by simply adding to the ranks of our contract faculty, at the expense of efforts to recruit greater numbers of tenure-tenure track faculty. Further inquiry into these data will require access to school-level data that can be compared across schools and with respect to the university as a whole. Faculty Self-Identification “New York University (NYU) is subject to certain nondiscrimination and affirmative action recordkeeping and reporting requirements for the administration of civil rights laws and regulations. In order to comply with these laws, NYU invites applicants and employees to voluntarily self-identify their race/ethnicity. Submission of this information is voluntary and refusal to provide it will not subject you to any adverse treatment. The information obtained will be kept confidential and may only be used in accordance with the provisions of applicable federal laws, executive orders, and regulations, including those which require the information to be summarized and reported to the federal government for civil rights enforcement purposes.”1 Beyond the official purposes for which this data collection and reporting are required by federal law, the committee believes that collection of, and access to these data are crucial to understand the state of diversity at NYU, and as a foundation for setting affirmative action goals and monitoring progress. Central to this is determining what opportunities Faculty members have to identify their racial/ethnic identity if they choose to do so, and the process that the university and schools use to collect this information. Though the OEO is responsible for reporting this information, when it is collected, it is collected by the schools and then passed on to the OEO. As was reported to us, the Schools are not uniform in whether they collect the data, at what stage the data is collected, or their respective processes for communicating this information to OEO. As a response to the committee’s questions, the OEO polled each of NYU’s 15 Schools (not including NYU-Poly) about their respective process and found that:
• Most schools offer the invitation to self-identify only after faculty applicant has been offered a position (i.e., there is no data to monitor the demographic make up of faculty applicant pools);

FSC Meeting 5/8/14, Document C, Page 4

• The invitation is extended by the local (School) HR office; and
• Schools offering the invitation post-offer have a 100% response rate, while those offering the invitation during the application stage report a 33% response rate.
The full details of this survey can be found in Appendix D. While the committee understands, and is sympathetic to the NYU school-based structure of local control and local decision making (including choices about various tools for information collection, etc.) the committee believes that some effort must be undertaken to ensure that all schools are making their best possible efforts to provide an invitation to self-identify to its faculty, and that there is some process whereby schools are routinely and seamlessly able to communicate their data to the OEO. Again, the committee believes that whatever the process, we must have regular and up-to-date data about faculty diversity readily available if we hope to both develop goals for increasing faculty diversity, and monitor our progress for reaching those goals.

Meeting Minutes Memorandum
Re: Faculty Senators Council’s Request for Information January 23, 2014
Location: OAA/OEO Conference Room, 726 Broadway, Room 723 Attendance: Charlton McIlwain, Associate Professor, Co-Chair, Faculty Senators Council
Peter Gonzalez, Assistant Provost for Academic Appointments Daniel Dunphy, Director, HR Applications and Reporting Rachel Maxwell, Associate Director, Institutional Research Kelle Colyer-Brown, Equal Opportunity Specialist, Office of Equal Opportunity Mary Signor, Executive Director, Office of Equal Opportunity Mary Signor opened discussions by explaining that the purpose of today’s meeting was to brief Professor Charlton McIlwain on the progress made to date regarding the Faculty Senators Council’s (FSC) Request for Information dated October 29, 2013. Ms. Signor explained that the Office of Equal Opportunity asked the Division of Human Resources, Office of Academic Appointments (OAA), and Institutional Research (IR) for their assistance in gathering the requested information and that clarification was needed for certain questions posed by the FSC. Rachel Maxwell provided seven (7) charts representing the demographic population of New York University (NYU) students in differing formats (e.g., graduation rates by gender and entering cohort year, baccalaureate degrees conferred by discipline, etc.). Ms. Maxwell explained, however, that it would be difficult to interpret this information without the availability of national data or comparative benchmarks set by other private Universities. She further explained that the FSC’s request to provide demographic information for NYU students by gender and ethnicity combined raises concerns under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). The breakdown of students by gender and ethnicity is too small (pools of less than 5 individuals) and would unintentionally identify minority students, which could serve as a FERPA violation and the unauthorized disclosure of a student’s record without written consent. Daniel Dunphy then explained that there is limited peer data available regarding the faculty demographics. NYU and its peer institutions submit annual reports on their demographic information to the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) as required by the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. IPEDS gathers this information from every university, college, and technical/vocational institutional that participates in federal student
FSC Meeting 5/8/14, Document C, Page 8

financial aid programs, which can then be used to describe and analyze trends in postsecondary education in terms of student enrollment, staff employed, dollars expended, and degrees earned. This accuracy of information provided to IPEDS is unclear because it is unknown what systems are being used at other colleges and universities to gather data. Mr. Dunphy stated that while nationally trends may reveal that there are gaps in terms of tenured associate professors in certain underrepresented groups, we do not have any framework to go on without the requisite base-line information for comparison. Mr. Dunphy stated that it may be more accurate to explain where we are at as an institution in terms of making progress in our diversity numbers. For example, are we recruiting students from these underrepresented groups and graduating them? What happens when we recruit these diverse students, admit them and then they choose to enter another college or university? We have no way of tracking why these students choose another college or university after admittance. Regarding faculty, Mr. Dunphy and Ms. Maxwell expressed that low turnover rates complicated attempts to identify trends over time and may not wholly reflect the results of recent outreach efforts. It was suggested that the analysis begin with a broad view, perhaps identifying patterns in the New Hire population, and within the Tenure-track vs. Non Tenure-track populations. Mr. Dunphy and Ms. Maxwell further explained that the definitions used by IPEDS is not the same across all categories and ranks causing inconsistencies in its data. IPEDS excludes certain data (e.g., anyone uncompensated without pay would not be counted), and some definitions changed in 2010. Notwithstanding the above, however, it was determined that for purposes of responding to the FSC’s request for data, Ms. Maxwell and Mr. Dunphy would continue to use IPEDS as the primary source for information. It was agreed that information for the faculty would be presented using the six (6) ranks / categories utilized by the IPEDS. Ms. Maxwell indicated that she should be able to provide the requested information on or before March 1, 2014. Professor McIlwain noted that it would be his expectation that this information could be presented to the FSC Personnel Committee at its March/April 2014 meeting. He further stated that it is the hope of the FSC to use this information to incorporate ways to improve the University’s overall diversity efforts in recruiting underrepresented students and faculty.

NYU and Other Carnegie Classified Very High Research Activity Institutions Introduction and Data Description This report examines faculty and student diversity trends for NYU and for the 297 other Carnegie classified very high research activity institutions using data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). (Please refer to the last page of this packet for the full list of 297 institutions.) The student and faculty data use institution‐level data submissions for Enrollment, Graduation Rates, and Human Resources forms, which are a federal reporting requirement. The student enrollment information is from each institution’s fall census date, which is typically at the end of the third week of classes. The student diversity data shows undergraduate demographic trends from fall 2003 to fall 2012 in gender and race/ethnicity. The graduation rates information in this report include the first‐time, full‐time baccalaureate‐seeking freshman cohort six‐year graduation rates for the 2004 to 2013 reporting years. The faculty information shows fall 2003 to fall 2011 full‐time faculty who are not part of a medical school. This section shows data from the NCES Human Resources form that includes faculty who are on the institution’s payroll as of November 1. The faculty race and ethnicity data are from odd number years; 2011 is the most recent publicly available data. Unless otherwise noted, all comparative points for the other very high research activity institutions refers to the median value represented by those schools. Race and ethnicity categories are self‐identified by the student or faculty member. Nonresident alien students and faculty are not included in their identified race/ ethnicity categories, but categorized as nonresident alien; this follows federal and state reporting standards. Several race/ethnicity categories ‐‐ American Indian/ Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, and faculty who identify as two or more races ‐‐ are included in the denominator, but are not shown in the report due to too few faculty and students represented in those categories.

Student Trends
Undergraduate Enrollment Diversity Trends The undergraduate enrollment section shows fall 2003 to fall 2012 undergraduate demographic trends, including gender and ethnicity, for NYU and for other very high research activity institutions.
NYU has a higher proportion of female undergraduate students than other very high research activity institutions.
Further, NYU has a higher proportion of undergraduate students who identify as Asian, Hispanic, and a higher proportion of non‐resident alien students. The other very high research activity institutions have a higher proportion of undergraduate students who identify as White; there is a similar proportion of undergraduate students who identify as Black or African American for NYU and for other very high research activity schools.
Between 2004 and 2012, the biggest shift in undergraduate diversity trends at NYU is an eight‐percentage point decrease in the proportion of students who identify as White and a ten‐percentage point increase in nonresident alien students. The biggest shift at other very high research activity institutions, between 2004 and 2012, is a seven‐percentage point decrease in the proportion of students who identify as White.
NYU has a higher proportion of student with an unknown race or ethnicity than other very high research activity institutions. Although, the gap between NYU and the other schools decreases over the reporting years, in 2012, NYU’s Unknown category is still nine‐percentage points higher than the other schools (12% “Unknown” for NYU, 3% “Unknown” for other very high research activity schools). Between 2003 and 2012, excluding the "Unknown" category from the denominator, the proportion of NYU students who identify as White decreases from 57 percent in 2003 to 46 percent in 2012. In contrast, between 2003 and 2012, including the “Unknown category in the denominator, the proportion of NYU students who identify as White decreases from 41 percent in 2003 to 40 percent in 2012.
Six‐year Baccalaureate Graduation Rates The graduation rates in this report tracks the six‐year graduation rate for the first‐time, full‐time baccalaureate degree‐seeking freshman cohorts. The year refers to reporting year and not the cohort year. For example, the 2013 data refers to the six‐year graduation rates that institutions reported to NCES in 2013 for the 2007 entering first‐time, full‐time baccalaureate degree‐seeking freshman cohort.
For all reporting years, NYU has a six‐year graduation rate that is higher than other very high research activity institutions. However, NYU’s six‐year graduation rate increased at a slower rate than the other very high research activity institutions. This is true across gender and all race/ethnicity categories.
Female students at NYU and other very high research activity institutions have, on average, a higher graduation rate than male students.
In 2013, students who identify as Black or African American at NYU and at other very high research activity institutions have the lowest graduation rate, and students who identify as Asian at NYU and students who identify as White at other very high research activity institutions have the highest graduation rate.
Between 2004 and 2013, graduation rates increased at NYU and at other very high research activity institutions across all race/ethnicity categories. The largest increase in graduation rates at NYU is for students who identify as Black or African American and at other very high research activity institutions the largest increase is for students who identify as Hispanic.

Faculty Trends Full‐time Faculty Demographic Trends by Gender and Race/ Ethnicity This section shows full‐time faculty, by gender and race/ethnicity categories, as a percent of the total full‐time faculty for 2003 to 2011 at NYU and at other very high research activity institutions.
The proportion of female tenured and tenure‐track faculty as a percent of total full‐time faculty is higher at NYU than at other very high research activity institutions. Further, at NYU, there is a three‐percentage point increase in female tenured and tenure‐track faculty as a proportion of all full‐time faculty (from 34% in 2003 to 37% in 2011); this is similar to other very high research activity institutions (from 27% in 2003 to 31% in 2011).
More than three‐quarters of NYU faculty identify as White, followed by nine percent who identify as Asian, less than five percent identify as Black or African, Hispanic, American Indian or Alaska Native, or as two or more races. Compared to the other very high research activity institutions, NYU has a slightly higher proportion of full‐time faculty who identify as Black or African American and Hispanic, and a slightly lower proportion of faculty who identify as Asian and White.
Full‐time Faculty Trends by Faculty Status and Race/Ethnicity The faculty status trends section of this report shows full‐time tenured and tenure‐track faculty as a percent of all full‐time faculty, and the proportion of full‐time not tenured (not on tenure track) faculty as a percent of full‐time faculty.
Over the past ten years, there is a decrease in tenured and tenure‐track faculty as a percent of total full‐time faculty at NYU and at other very high research activity institutions.
Between fall 2003 and fall 2011, there is a decrease in the proportion of tenured and tenure‐track faculty as a percent of total full‐time faculty at NYU (from 67% in 2003 to 55% in 2011), this is similar to trends at other very high research activity institutions (from 67% in 2003 to 57% in 2011). Further, between fall 2003 and fall 2011, there is a decrease in the proportion of tenured and tenure‐track faculty across all race/ ethnicity categories at NYU and at other very high research activity institutions.

NYU and Other Very High Research Activity Institutions*Reporting Years 2004 to 2013
This page shows the 2004 to 2013 first-time full-time baccalaureate-seeking freshman cohort six-year graduation rates at NYU and at other very high research activity institutions for students who identify as White. (The year refers to the year reported to NCES, not to the entering cohort year.) The top view shows the six-year graduation rate and the median graduation rate at other very high research activity institutions for students who identify as White. The second view shows the range of six-year graduation rates across all institutions categorized as very research activity for students whoidentify as White. NYU has a higher graduation rate than the median graduation rate at other very high research activity institutions for all reporting years, except in 2013, where the graduation rate is thesame for both groups. Further, between 2004 and 2013, the graduation rate at NYU for students who identify as White increased at a lower rate than at other very high research activity institutions. (NYU's graduation rate increased seven-percentage points and other very high research activity institutions increased nine-percentage points.)

Faculty data for NYU and for other very high research activity institutions excludes medical schools. The top view shows full-time tenured/ on tenure track faculty as a percent of total full-time faculty by IPEDS race/ ethnicity categoriesat NYU and the median value at other very high research activity institutions. The bottom view shows the same information in a graphical format. Several race/ ethnicity categories -- American Indian/Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, and faculty members who identify as two or more races -- are included in the denominator, but are not shown in this report due to the small number of faculty members in those categories. There is little variation in the proportion of tenured/ tenure track faculty by race ethnicity categories. In 2011, at NYU, 59% of faculty who identify as Asian,57% of faculty who identify as White, 56% of faculty who identify as Black or African American, and 55% of full-time faculty who identify as Hispanic are tenured/ on tenure track at NYU. These proportionsare slightly lower - two- to three-percentage points - than at other very high research activity institutions.

MEMORANDUM
To: Charlton McIlwain, Co-Chair, Faculty Senators Council Personnel Policies & Tenure Modifications Committee
From: Office of Equal Opportunity
Re: Status of Request for Information; Initiative on Inclusion, Equity & Diversity at NYU
In response to the Faculty Senators Council’s October 2013 request for information, the
Office of Equal Opportunity, in partnership with the Division of Human Resources, the Office of
Institutional Research, and the Office of Academic Appointments, conducted a survey of the
demographic data collection practices amongst 15 Colleges, Institutes, and Schools that comprise
New York University - New York. Specifically, we sought to identify how Race/Ethnicity and
Gender information is collected and stored for Faculty applicants and candidates. Please note that
NYU Polytechnic Institute was omitted from this survey, as the inquiry was initiated prior to the
January 1, 2014 merger.
In total, eleven (11) schools responded, with four (4) abstaining. Of the eleven responders,
ten (10) issue an invitation to self-identify to Faculty applicants and/or candidates at some point in
the recruitment cycle. Please note at the time this survey was conducted, all employees could input
or change their personal information at any time via the ePASS employee self-service module. As of
March 31, 2014 ePASS has been replaced with PeopleSync, accessible from the Work tab of NYU
Home.

Q2-a. At what point(s) during a faculty member’s tenure at the university is one invited to
self-identify?
The majority of schools (7 of 10) who issue an issue the invitation to self-identify do so to the final
candidate only, at the post-offer stage. Four (4) schools have an invitation to self-identify integrated
into the application process through a variety of methods including integration into the Applicant
Tracking System, standalone web-based surveys, or postcards. The collected demographic data is
stored separately from identifying candidate information and is not available to search committees.
One school issues the invitation at two stages, Application and Post-Hire.

Q2-b. In what form and from what office (university OEO, individual School Deans or School HR
representatives, Department chairs, etc.) is the invitation to self-identify communicated to
faculty members?
80% of the responders manage demographic data collection through the local Human Resources
Officer. One (1) school collects the information post-offer with the new hire paperwork, which is
then processed by the Department Administrator. Lastly, one (1) school tasks its internal Office of
Faculty Affairs with extending the invitation to self-identify to finalist candidates / new hires.

Q2 - c. What percentage of faculty, on average, respond to the request to self-identify, and of those
what percentage respond with the choice to not identify?
60% of the responding schools reported a 100% response rate from the invitation to self-identify.
These schools also invite at the post-offer and new hire stages and thus reaching out to a much
smaller pool of individuals by integrating the invitation to self-identify into the onboarding process.
Of the four (4) schools that issue invitations at the applicant stage, one (1) measures a response rate
of 33%; the other schools do not maintain metrics on response rates.

Q2d. What is the mechanism and process used to identify those not self-identified, i.e. what form
of visual survey and/or other information is used to identify faculty members?
70% of the ten (10) responders utilize multiple methods as needed to identify candidates who have
declined to self-identify, and nine (9) schools conduct a visual “best guess” as needed. Please note
that Affirmative Action Recruitment Reports submitted to the Office of Equal Opportunity for
review require all interviewed candidates to be categorized by race / ethnicity and gender. Half of
the responding schools found Curriculum Vitae information helpful, looking to educational history
and professional affiliations as indicators of racial/ethnic and gender identity(ies).

Fringe Benefits Budget The report by Marty Dorph, presented to the FSC on April 10, 2014, provides details on the size of NYU’s fringe benefits expenses from 2002 to 2013. See page 19: http://www.nyu.edu/content/dam/nyu/facultySenatorsCouncil/documents/DocD.4.10.14-NYUFinancialDataRequest1.pdf About a quarter of NYU’s fringe benefits budget is statutory (FICA, Workers Comp, Unemployment insurance, etc.). Of the remainder, about half goes towards health care benefits (including drugs, dental and retiree medical), about one third is retirement savings and life insurance, and one tenth is tuition remission for employees and their families. Health Benefit Plans The Medical School has distinct health benefits that are not discussed here. For all other schools, full time faculty benefits are described here: http://www.nyu.edu/faculty/benefits/full-time.html Self-Insured Plan Like most large employers, NYU is a self-funded insurance plan. United Healthcare (UHC), Aetna and Oxford simply act as a conduit for services; NYU bears all of the underlying risk. This means that a few high cost claims can lead to sharply increased costs. These costs are covered by the fringe benefit pool and employee contributions, which together account for the total cost of the plan. Benefits Planning Timeline Review of health benefit plans for the following calendar year (2015) begins when data on the previous year’s claims (2013) become available, around April. Any significant plan design changes must be decided by mid-summer so that implementation can begin for open enrollment in November. It is important for the Benefits-Housing Committee to be staffed by some faculty who are available after the spring semester ends. At the time of writing, a subcommittee (co-chaired by Sewin and David) is working with HR to plan for 2015 and review possible plan changes. Some coordination with the AMC Benefits Committee is desirable because full time administrators and professional research staff receive the exact same package of health benefits, and because faculty have an interest in recruiting and retaining the best staff. 2014 Benefit Plans HR collaborated with last year’s FSC Benefits Committee (chaired by Mary Ann Jones) from March-June 2013. These recommendations were endorsed by NYU and are reflected in our current 2014 plans:
• No major changes to design of medical plans between 2013 and 2014 • Increase in employee contributions by 5% compared with 2013. . • Comparable increase for retiree medical plans • No increase in dental contributions
Employees who received a salary increase equal to the average AMI of 3% in 2013 and who chose the UHC Advantage plan for family coverage, would in fact have an effective salary increase of around 2.6% (depending on salary tier), in light of the benefit contribution increases.
FSC Meeting 5/8/14, Document D, Page 2

Enrollments In 2014, about 10 percent of eligible employees waived coverage. Among enrollees, the most popular plan is the UHC Advantage, with just under half of enrollees in this plan. Just over a quarter chose the UHC Value plan and a fifth chose one of the HMOs from Oxford or Aetna. A new High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) with Health Savings Account (HSA) was launched in 2013 and now attracts about 5 percent of enrollees. Not including the new HDHP, the enrollment distribution across plans has been generally consistent for many years. The extent of switching between plans is very low. The Committee encourages faculty to consider carefully the HDHP option because it can offer cost savings for some people. In particularly, people with both high and low health care usage benefit from this plan. While the out-of-pocket expenses associated with deductibles are high, the monthly employee contributions are low. The deductibles (and other eligible out-of-pocket expenses) can be paid out of the HSA, which rolls over from year to year. Importantly, there is an out-of-pocket maximum, protecting people from excessive costs. If one reaches this maximum, the savings in cost of premiums outweighs the out-of-pocket expenses. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) HR began planning for the ACA in 2010. Various ACA requirements have been implemented in recent years, including the coverage of dependent children to age 26, 100% coverage for preventative care, and the elimination of lifetime caps, etc. ACA considerations led to the introduction of the HDHP in 2013, which given their low premiums may help avoid excise taxes in future years. The most important ACA consideration at this point is the excise tax, so-called Cadillac tax, that is slated to begin in 2018. This is a 40% tax to be paid by employers on the cost of health plans that exceed an annual threshold of $10,200 for individual coverage and $27,500 for family coverage (Cadillac plans). To be clear, the 40% excise tax applies to the overall plan cost that exceeds the threshold, regardless of how the employer and worker contributions are divided. Each individual enrollee is assessed separately so that a worker with a cheap plan cannot offset the tax liability of a worker with an expensive plan. For example, if an individual worker’s annual plan cost is $12,200 (exceeding the threshold by $2,000), then a tax of 40% on the $2,000 excess would be levied for that worker, i.e., $800. For a self-insured plan such as NYUs, the overall plan cost is the COBRA rate for each plan (essentially, the analog of the premium a health insurance company would charge for the plan). Any funds put into health care flexible spending accounts or HSAs must be included in the overall plan cost, but out-of-pocket expenses are excluded. Based on the current law (which, in light of the other ACA revisions to date, will probably be subject to change), and under a set of assumptions that maintain the existing benefit plan designs, HR estimates that the Cadillac tax liability will be substantial. All the current NYU plans would be deemed Cadillac plans under the existing law, with the possible exception of the HDHP (there is uncertainty here as the existing law is not specific enough to be completely sure). Most experts agree that the Cadillac tax’s liability is extremely difficult to forecast both because of legislative uncertainty and hard-to-predict changes in the health care market place as all employers react to the tax, as well as other ACA provisions. The challenge in the coming few years is to figure out how NYU should best respond, especially in the face of these uncertainties. As intended by the architects of the ACA, the response may involve some move towards more cash compensation, and less compensation in the form of health benefits (since this will be less tax advantaged). This underscores the importance of communication across FSC committees with responsibility for all components of compensation, including salaries and benefits.
FSC Meeting 5/8/14, Document D, Page 3

It is important to emphasize that under current law, large employers who now provide health benefits have little incentive to replace this coverage with extra salary that workers can use on the exchanges created by the ACA. Any such increases in salary (regardless of what the employer calls it) is deemed taxable income, whereas an employer provided health plan is tax free income that gives employers a cheaper way to provide total compensation. Moreover, the ACA charges a $2,000 per worker annual penalty to large employers that do not provide coverage to at least 70% of full time employees (increasing to 95% in future years). Tuition Remission These tuition remission (TR) policies were adopted by NYU in 2009: Employee: Undergraduate or graduate NYU tuition at certain schools is paid at 100% if salary is less than $50,000 and 90% if salary is over $50,000. Employee’s spouse: Undergraduate or graduate NYU tuition at certain schools is paid at 50% Dependent undergraduate child: NYU undergraduate tuition is paid at 100% if salary is less than $50,000 and 90% if salary is over $50,000. Portable tuition payment of up to $5,500 per year for undergraduate studies outside of NYU. Medical School Faculty have a different program: 100% TR at NYU for employees and dependent children for undergraduate and graduate degrees. No portable TR. A majority of the TR budget for non-Medical School employees is used for employee education with the remainder being provided to children and spouse/partners. Similar information has not been obtained about the Medical School. The Committee plans to further review these policies next semester and address the following:
• A comparison of NYU with peer institutions. Senior faculty recruits with high school or college aged children are being lost to competing institutions, according to some reports from faculty senators.
• Consider the net cost of a more generous portable tuition policy. This net cost should account for the extra revenue from a full-tuition paying student when a faculty child chooses not to attend NYU. It is possible that a more generous portable tuition policy would be less costly for NYU, as more faculty children choose to go elsewhere, freeing up full-tuition paying seats for non-affiliates. Under the current policy, faculty children have an enormous financial incentive to attend NYU, which may not be the best college match for them.
• The $50,000 salary threshold for 100% TR results in a range of salary over which an employee receiving TR would see a reduction in total compensation if his/her salary increased beyond $50,000. The Committee has discussed possible ways of eliminating this cliff and will revisit this issue next semester.
