RE: |
REPORT for 9/20 meeting |
Welcome to one new Senator (Dr. Ruth Davis, Nursing) and two new
Alternates (Prof. Cy Frits, Health and Physical Education and Dr.
Ramananantsoa Ramannantoandro, Earth Sciences).
The new SSHE Academic Advisory committee is being formed, with one faculty
representative from each University. Its purpose includes making
recommendations to Vice Chancellor Burger on "system-wide academic issues
and student affairs issues related to academic policy". Having been
invited by APSCUF-MU to appoint MU's representative, I have selected Dr.
Richard Clark, Earth Sciences. Dr. Clark is advisor to Student Senate and
immediate past chairperson of the Academic Policies and Academic Standards
Committees.
At yesterday's Commencement Committee meeting, the possibility of moving
August commencements from Pucillo to Lyte was discussed, but will not be
recommended at this time.
Among the items discussed at yesterday's SPARC meeting were the
President's Convocation address, 94-95 SPARC timetable including the
Strategic Goals Periodic Review Report, and 95-96 Capital Budget
Request.
Reminder: all submissions to Senate should be double-sided. In the same
spirit, I suggest that for course proposals with bibliographies of more
than five double-sided pages, the bibliographies not be included with the
package distributed to Senate, but rather be copied and mailed by me the
next morning only to those requesting them. The UCPRC and GCPRC chairs
concur, and if there is no objection we will begin to implement this
policy.
The new task force on enrollment planning will hold its first meeting 9/27
and will discuss undecided students transferring into capped programs; I
solicit your input.
