University Council held
its monthly meeting on Tues-
day, March 10 at 3 p.m. in the
Union to discuss a number of
topics and motions to recom-
mend to president Scarbor-
ough.
“UC is a deliberative and
representative body that makes
recommendations to the Presi-
dent on long-range planning
and informs decisions on other
substantive matters that af-
fect the well-being and com-
mon interests of the univer-
sity community,” according to
their website.
During the meeting, they
discussed the recent proposal
from Undergraduate Student
Government to make the gen-
eral service fee charged to all
students more transparent. The
proposal is now owned by UC
after it had passed through
USG. Council member, Na-
than Mortimer met with USG
and worked with them to
make this fee more transpar-
ent. “If you’re most interested
in transparency of the use of
the money, I can demonstrate
that effective July 1, through
county records,” Mortimer
said at the meeting. After that
he continued how that could
be accommodated in any way
into students Zipline accounts.
Some members of the
council had concerns about
how this fee would actually
look on the website. Whether
it would be a drop-down box
or automatically listed with
students tuition and fees.The
motion and report were made
available to council members
so their responses could be
discussed at a later date.
After that motion was ad-
dressed, Mortimer then gave
an in-depth report on budget
and finance addressing the university’s audited financial statements, foundation finan-
cial statements and research
foundation statements for
the 2014 fiscal year. He went through the statements look-
ing at revenues, expenses,
assets, liabilities, and more
characteristics of them to see
where the money is going.
This provides a baseline to
compare the different units on
campus. So far they’ve ana-
lyzed Dining Services, Park-
ing Services, and telecommu-
nications but “there are a lot
more to come,” Mortimer said.
“In my opinion we are in a po-
sition to understand the financ-
es better than what we were in
the past for budget and finance. Now we kind of see how it all
fits together. So now we can have informed input where-as
last year maybe we had input
that wasn’t informed, but this
year it will be informed input
with higher knowledge of the
dollars.” Mortimer said to the
council.
Next, the council addressed
the motion from the Talent
Development and Human Re-
sources committee to propose
a new “Leave Bank Policy”
and recommendation for that
The University of Akron im-
plement the policy within nine
days of proposal. A leave bank
is when faculty or staff save
unused leave days and they ac-
crue. After a vote, the motion
and recommendation passed
17-3 to move forward to the
president.
The Talent Development
and Human Resources com-
mittee then offered another
proposal that would recco-
mend a plan in order to accom-
modate departments that have
retiring faculty members. This
plan dealt with succession
and replacement of faculty
members so there would not
be sudden major changes to
departments when retirement
inevitably takes place. This
motion passed as well with a
vote of 12-3.
The meeting concluded
with the council reviewing
their Year End Timeline which
highlights deadlines for sub-
mission of new UC members,
UC satisfaction survey, and
the roster for the 2015-16 UC
membership roster.
The next UC meeting will
take place on April 7, at 3 p.m.
in the Union room 312.
Communications professor
and Akron native Paul R. Ja-
coway died Monday, March 9,
at his home.
55 years-old Jacoway’s
cause of death is undetermined
at this time. A brother and a
sister survive Jacoway.
“He was an inspiration to people who had a desire to do
something they were really
passionate about. That’s what
struck me most, was his love
for documentary as a medium,
and how he really pursued
that,” senior Matthew Harp said.
Students currently enrolled
in Jacoway’s classes have
been notified via email about assignments and due dates.
“Paul was a talented and
creative person who taught
specialized courses,” said
Therese Lueck, school of
communications interim di-
rector. “It’ll take the expertise
of several different people to
fill in for him as instructors. Of course, no one can replace
him.”
A graduate of Kent State
University, Jacoway stayed
close to home by continuing
his higher education at UA
where he received a M.A. in
Communication.
Jacoway continued to set
his sights higher by recently
obtaining his Ph.D. from Ohio
University Scripps School of
Journalism. Jacoway special-
ized in “documentary film production and marketing spe-
cialist.”
While finishing his gradu-
ate degree, Jacoway took his
knowledge to UA’s classrooms
by teaching some classes that
include Mass Communica-
tions, Promotional Publica-
tions, and Media Production.
In 2010, he produced “Final
Edition: Journalism According
to Jack and Jim Knight,” an
Emmy Award Winning docu-
mentary with the help of UA’s
Distinguished Professor in the
Communications Department,
Kathleen Endres.
Jacoway produced, direct-
ed, and wrote the documen-
tary that tells the story of the
Knight family who started the
Akron Beacon Journal.
“He was very creative – and smart – and funny. He truly was a nice guy,” Endres
said.
Jacoway had a passion for
documentary making from—
filming to research and edit-ing, and also won numerous
Multiple Telly Awards, and
Honorable Mention in the Berkley Film Festivals.
A passion for passing on
his knowledge to a younger
generation also showed, es-
pecially to one student: “He didn’t sugar coat anything
and he was very outspoken,
but it was only for the best,”
sophomore Chaunice Hendk-
ing said.
The Jacoway family in-
vites UA students to pay
their respects. Calling hours
are Monday, March 16 from
5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Newcomer
