Through visionary and practical leadership that has been responsive to meaningful member involvement, the Faculty Senate continues to play a vital role in upholding the mission of the University of Wyoming. If elected to serve as Chair, I will endeavor to continue this success by 1) encouraging passionate, intrinsic involvement from all Senators in Senate issues, 2) acting proactively and skillfully in all matters germane to faculty, 3) strongly supporting the goals of other university governance groups when possible and 4) fostering deeper professional and personal relationships to further enhance our ability to work together as Senators and people. If we all pursue these goals in a cohesive and purposeful manner, the Faculty Senate will not only achieve the objectives set before it but enjoy the process as well.

Finally, I want to learn more how UW operates as a corporate body, so that I might more effectively serve UW as both a faculty member, department member, and Senator.

After a successful 21-year career practicing law, I entered academia 14 years ago as a short-term-contract instructor at the University of Michigan. I have held several full-time but nontenure track faculty appointments since then. Last year I accepted employment as a tenure-track professor at the University of Wyoming College of Law. I have been very active in my profession, serving a two-year term as President of the Legal Writing Institute and serving on six different law school accreditation teams for the American Bar Association. I am very interested in faculty governance issues (having spent a good part of my teaching career in non-tenure-track positions) and now look forward to helping to advocate for greater faculty involvement in all matters affecting the University.

While I have only been on the Senate for a little over a year, it has been a banner year in which we have had to tackle a number of critical and contentious issues as a faculty body. I have been privileged to witness the professionalism and mutual respect shown throughout these proceedings and the genuine desire on behalf of the faculty to make UW the best it can be regardless of personal considerations. I would like to serve on the Faculty Senate Executive Committee in order to gain a broader perspective on faculty governance, differences in how individual entities within the university perceive issues that we face, and overall university dynamics. I feel strongly that there is potential for synergistic solutions within most scenarios and am committed to seeking such. I seek to increase my commitment through a more involved and longer term role as a member of the Faculty Senate Executive Committee and value your input and support.

Accepted HONORS AND AWARDS President, American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians Distinguished Career Service Award, American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians, 2012 STATEMENT I wish to serve as a member-at-large on the faculty senate executive for the next two years. As a collective, the faculty senate is not a powerful force at the university. It would be healthier in my opinion if faculty and staff were represented by an association or union. But that s unlikely, given Wyoming realities and its ban on collective bargaining by state employees. That leaves us with the faculty senate, which tries to fulfill two roles: defend the interests of faculty, and help establish educational and academic policies that strengthen our public institution. The past few years has seen instances where senate intervention played a useful role. The guns-oncampus issue is a one example of a difference made by a nimble, articulate executive. More interventions like that will enhance the visibility of faculty senate. Perhaps they will encourage more faculty to engage in (oh, that awful phrase!) faculty governance. I would try my best to ensure that the interests of the faculty are taken into consideration by university administrators and Trustees when issues of academic freedom and independence from external pressure are concerned. I have a particular concern about the institution s dependence on taxes from the minerals industry. As long as that exists, there will be a temptation to ensure that UW s align itself with the views and values of one industry. Faculty senate can help ensure that UW s larger role of serving the entire state remains intact.

I believe productive service is attained when the following attributes are applied: constructive communication, transparency, and integrity. There are many opportunities for positive change and continuing contributions, within our University community, when these qualities are upheld. I also believe to effectively represent faculty, it is equally important to listen impartially and then clearly communicate these thoughts, comments, concerns, and/or requests to those who are also in a position to facilitate change. I believe I can continue to make a positive contribution toward our University community within the Faculty Senate.
