PRESIDENT MACVITTIE ANNOUNCES REGIONAL COLLEGE COOPERM;ION PLAN

A plan calling for regional college cooperation at four State University college branches has been developed cooperatively by the college presidents Dr. Kenneth Young of Cortland, Dr. Albert Brown of Brockport, Dr. James Perdue of Oswego and Dr. Robert w. MacVittie.

Under the experimental plan of regional college cooperation desirable programs can be strengthened or added utilizing the strengths of a particular college, or by overcoming the prohibitive cost of a program if attempted on a single campus. As a result of interaction among people from different campuses it is anticipated that new ideas and activities will be stimulated.

Specific examples of possible activities mentioned included: (1) Concentrat­ing low-enrollment, high-cost summer courses on single campuses; (2) Cooperative studies of student characteristics and of campus climates as perceived by students; (3) Regional continuing educ A.t:1nn J:lre'\G:~.~mr:, emrhA.t:ti:>:ing conferences and workshops conducted by appropriate members of the several faculties.

It is empha...c:;j ze<l t-.hat these three examples are merely illustrative. At the moment no decision to conduct any regional program has been made. We are now at the point of defining and evaluating possible regional activities.

I".t'..CULTY BULLETIN - April 11, 1966 Page 2

F~GIONAL COLLEGE PLAN - Continued

During the next three or fo~ months Mr. David Owen, Assistant Provost of t he S~nte University, will visit the campus frequently in connection with this experi­t:E~~. President Gould has assigned him to provide assistance during the exploratory pi.~a.se of the project.

It is cautioned that the regional concept may not be a viable one. On the o-t. :.1er hand, we might discover promising and even unprecedented ways in which the participating campuses can became stronger while the State University as a whole gai~s identity and does a better job of meeting its immense obligations.

This topic is under active consideration and will oe reported on at the next Senate meeting.

UNDERGRADUATE AC1wE!v'£W AFFAIH~ COHI-J.ITTEE--Dr. C. Stephens, Chairman

Dr. Stephens commented on a list of courses that he would present to Senate. There \·las a question raised as to the need of this comrr.ittee to act on the dropping of a course from the catalogue or curriculum of a department and also the need to act on a course re~s~on. As a matter of record dropping a course should be recorded as approved; course revisions remained a question. Both were referred to the Cornmittee. A question was raised as to what procedure was necessary for changing courses from 100 to 400 level. There appeared to be a difference in the way this has been handled in the past. The problem was r eferred to the Committee for study and clarification.

Dr. Stephens urged that Department wanting courses for next year submit them r.ow. He emphasized the need to plan ahead to the next 3 years and to develop long range plans for courses and programs.

Dr. Stephens co1~ented on several policy proposals which had been approved by his committee and which he intended to present to the Senate. These appear in details in the Senate cdnutes of March 29, 1966.

With regard to the honors policy, Dr. Stephens was asked if there was a l~t to the number of departmental honors a student could get. It would be up to cr..ch departo-:nt to formul.:lte st.'.tnd:l.rds .for s~id honors and it w~uld kl~ . possible for a student to receive honors in more than one department but J.t would not be likely that such could happen in all but an exceptional case.

FACULTY AFFAIRS CU~J.L·liTTEE - Dr. H. Beck, Chairman

The proposed summer session faculty policy was distributed. Discussion ensued with regard to points 2, 3, and 4 of the policy. It was suggeste~ that decisions should be rnade on the the Departrr~ntal level in consultat~on with the Director of Summer Session. Point 2 on "Rotation" was intended "\o apply at the Departmental Level. The details will appear in the Senate minutes March 29, 1966.

~~T AFFAIRS CU1"11-u1'TEE - Dr. Bruce Klee, Chairman

Dr. Klee reported that he was .prepared to move the adoption of the policy regarding the use of alcoholic beverages. Concerning student evaluation of the faculty he pointed out that his committee believed the evaluation was a good iuea but the use of such an instrument should be left to the choice of each faculty member. A question was raised concerning the original request for the Coumdttee to advise the Chairman and Executive Committee on the problem r ather than report in r esolution. A check was to be ~~de in the minutes to determine the original approach. An animated discussion ensued. It was suggested to the Chairman that if the administration was going to take the approach of referring problems in writing to the Chairman it then behooves the Chairman to bring such communiques to the immediate attention of the Executive Committee.

page 3 of Faculty Executive Committee Meeting l1inutes of March 29, 1966

The Chairman rejected the allegation in the light of the fact that the question had been properly referred to the Faculty Affairs and Student Affairs Corumittee for advice (Exec. Comm. minutes 12/16/65). The findings of the Student Affairs Committee were just now coming up for discussion. Pcr~inent information from the Administration on this question and all other matters can be made available to each Standing ConillUttee through the adnunstrative faculty appointed by the President (Art. IX Constitution). The nature of sharing comn1unications personal and otherwise from faculty with the Executive Gommittee is a descretionary power of the Office of the Chairman which must be guided by a jud~nent depending upon the particular circumstances. To mandate "i.r.lmediate11 transmission of correspondence to the Executive Comruittee would reduce the ability of the office to be

-1-

informed on matters which for valid reasons carmot at the time be made public.

It was pointed out that the Student Senate had adopted a form to be used for faculty evaluation two weeks ago. Presently this group is considering l.tlether the students should collect the forms, do the tabuluting and then give the results to the Department or Division Chairman or only to faculty being evaluated . It was pointed out that only a small handful of students in Senate are interested in doing the evalu~tion and the remainder of the students do not care. It was further noted that some individual faculty appear to be helping and encouraging this activity by students.

~uss Fisher suggested that the Student Affairs Committee r eport and the Faculty Affairs Committee report be reconsidered with respect to the evaluation question. It was agreed to place on the Agenda the advisory r epcrts from both StandL'lg Committees fort he next Executive Corr.mittee Meeting.

BUDG:ti:T COMl·uTTEE - Dr. J. Scholes

Dr. Scholes reported that his comndttee has contacted Dr. Quall about addressing the Senate at the ~~y meeting concerning the College Budget as approved. It w~s furt i.er indicated that prior to that time Dr. Quall will be meeting with individual Department and Division Chairman concerning budgets of their specific areas .

It was announced that the Budget Committee will not meet until after Easter recess.

The meeting was adjourned at 3:22 p.m.

Respectfully submitted, Dr. -l1yrtle l•ierritt Faculty Secretary

Meeting was called to order by Chairman Wade at 4:08 p.m.

There were additions to the agenda which was approved as amended.

APt>RuVAL uF TliE MLJiJTES

It was moved, seconded, and carried that the Senate approve the paragraphs for insertion in the February 22 minutes of the Senate. Dr. Saadlemire presented the changes in paragraphs 6 and 7 as follows:

Mr. Slavick asked where the money would be obtained to finance the proposed scholarships. \Jhat part of the total cost does the student pay and what part is now being paid by the State? Would these scholarships duplicate other scholarships they might be receiving? Dr. Saddlemire replied that the Dormitory Authority requests 90% to 95% occupancy be maintained. We have exceeded regularly the suggested occupancy minim~~s. This permits the college flexibility in assigning use of some rooms. All room rent monies collected are forwarded to State University in Albany.

In answer tot~. Slavick's second question, it was stated that room rent represents about one-fourth of what a student Hould be paying for college costs for the year. The scholarship might supplement a Regents Scholarship which can pay up to ~400 a year, The value of a

room scholarship will be about ~375 for the academic year, 1966-67 • .. ' It \-.ras moved seconded and carried that the March 1st minutes be approved as printed in the l>iarch 8 Faculty Bulletin.

TREA~URER 1 S REPuRT - V. Kemp

It was r eported that 157 or a little over ~ of the 275 total faculty members had paid the voluntary dues giving a balance of ~538.34 in the checking account with no change in the savings.

The Chairman pointed out the need to encourage people in satisfying the voluntary payment to make possible the expenditures of the proposed budget.

It was moved, seconded and carried that the report be received.

Currently the 11Administrator's Guide11 indicated the stages through which the college budget must pass from its inception to its final form. The Senate Budget Committee suggests that additional stages in budget preparation be included, as indicated below, and urges that they be placed in effect immediately.

Dr. Cotton questioned the rationale of point three. Dr. Scholes replied that the Budget Corrunittee tnight see the need for a departn,ent or division i ncreasing its budget proposals in order to carry out more adequate program.

Dr. Wade reminded the Senate that 11 recomr.1ended 11 or "recommendations" means these are "suggested" or 11 suggestions 11 since this corrunittee is not a policy making body. As previously discussed and agreed by the Executive Committee these terms are changed in the document.

Dr. Stolper asked if there were stages in budget planning that had been omitted? Dr. Scholes indicated that the reco;.mended additional stages were to be included in the current scheme for budget preparation which is outlined in the "Administrator 1 s Guide" and that one might be able to figure out the sequence if both documents were reviewed. He further agre8d that additional Gteps may be needed in the future.

It was n1oved, seconded and carried that the word or words 11suggested11 or "suggestions" be inserted where appropriate and the document be transmitted to the President.

Whereas, State University of &ew York must continue to grow in excellence

And, ~·1hereas, the development of a quality faculty i s the essential element in the development of a quality univer si t y,

The Faculty Senate of the State University College at Geneseo r esolve.:; that the sm~y budget for 1967 include the following sums :

(1) ~8.5 million salary increase to uove SUNY f aculty toward 11A11

AAUP median scale . This increase, with anot her 8.5 ~Lllion in fiscal year 1968, should accomplish the 11A11 AAUP scale.

It was moved, seconded and carried that the r esol ution be adopted.

page 6 of Facult y Senate Meeting Hinutes of Harch 29, 1966

A s econd r esolution was proposed:

The Faculty Senate of tha State University College at Geneseo resolves that Conwunity College faculty oembers should be generally equal to other Slli~Y faculty personnel in matters pertaining to faculty r esponsi­bilities and rights.

It was moved, seconded and carried that the resolution be adopted.

Dr. Smith reported that the State Un~versity budget was passed with only swall cuts and no cuts in the 5 million requested for salary increases. Cuts wer e made in faculty r esearch funds--from ~400,000 to ~350,000. The ~100,000 asked for distinquished professors was cut to ~v75,000 and the cut was made in the Colleges but not in the University conters.

Dr. Wade asked if there were any instructions members of Senate wished to give to Dr. Smith prior to the May Senate meeting. Dr. Stolper asked if it would be possible to r emove grades ~dthin ranks. Dr. Smith indicated no such r ecommendation has been 1aade. Dr. Fausold stated that FAsm·rr f elt there should be a study to l ook lnto the advisaoility of dropping grades within ranks and Dr. Gould a nd Mr • .frice had agr eed to follow-up on this 1.1.a.tter.

Dr. Smith informed the group that there was a study to make a three year salary projection for mambers of State University.

Dr. Fausold asked if there was i ncluded in the r ecommendation on governance a s t aten1ent that local governing bodies be 1ncluded the the budget process and that local governance formulate policy f or the local units.

Miss Fisher pointed out that we are a r ecommending body and do not formulate policy.

Dr. Fausold r etJlied that the i>reamble t o our Constitution does imply that the Faculty has a right to formulate pol i cy and that individuals voted on the present governance with the idea that we would be a policy fi~ng body in keeping ~dth the r egulations set forth by the Board of Truste~s in the Personnel Policies Handbook . The Chairman indicated that the "policy formation11

power of the faculty was not clear. He urged all Senat ors and faculty to r ead the minutes and follow the actions of the ~'tanding Committees. Dr. Hade f elt continued attention needs to be given to this question as it evolv~s in the application and various interpretations of the Constitution.

Dr. Fausol d moved t hat \·fuer eas facult i es attain their most ef fect ive role in college governance when their forrr~l organization is the policy-making body of the college and ~hen the organization of their f aculty is involved in t he budget

process of the college

Be it r esolved: The Faculty Senate of the State University College at Geneseo, New York r ecomu.ends tot he Facutly Senat e of the Stat e University the follo\'ling additional r ecownendations for articles of governance on individual campuses :

1. That within the context of public law and the Board of Trustees

-J(,-

page 7 of Faculty Senate Meeting ¥unutes of f~rch 29, 1966

Regulations governing the University, the organization of the faculty on the :individual campus be the pol1cy-making body of the local unit;

2. That the organization oft he faculty be involved in budget process of the unit of the Un:Lversity.

The motion was seconded and carried.

Dr. Cotton stated that certain precedents and traditions were in the process of being establishad. He asked if these were being evaluated so we can adopt if good or throw out if inappropriate or must we continue operating in ways that are not appropriate. Dr. Wade replied that the Faculty Executive Comm. was attacking this problem with vigor. He invited reactions and comments from Senators on this question.

Dr. Stolper suggested that the group had entered two 1tcms wh1ch were not on the report coucerning the Univeroity Senate criteria for governance on individual campuses. Dr. Smith stated the request was for information. If we do not do anything about the proposal it would ;.1ean we go along with it. The minutes reflect jenate discussion of the criteria ldth no specific action taken pro or con.

Miss Fisher pointed out that in previous minutes of the 1xecutive CoJi.mittee there is a suggestion to rev:ie\'t governance as conducted this year following final committee reports.

The Chairman asked :if the Trustees had given ap:)roval of Article X of the Persoru1el Policies. Dr. Smith reported that the Trustees will meet in April and Faculties will get new policies as approved at that ti:..e . Dr. Smith was asked to report Trustee action on the Personnel Policies at the next Senate meeting.

Dr. Stolper moved that the alcohol resolution be r emoved from the table. It \'tas seconded and carried.

Dr. Klee r eported that the whole :intent of the r esolution was to take into accoUJ."1t what is go':ing on anu give more adequate guidJ.nce.

Following :is the revised proposal by the Committee on Student Affairs:

The Cornrn.i.ttee on Student Affairs moved as aJ,lended faculty Senate approval of the following policy r egarding use of alcoholic beverages at certain Student -~ffairs:

1. That social activities involving alcoholic beverages be allowed to openly announce such actJ.vities :ina dignified r:J.anner through the normal campus communicative media.

2. That college api~roval J1lay oe granted to r ecognized coll t ge groups , such as classes, housing units, fraternities and sororities, to schedule social events which :include alcoholic beverages, subj ect to the following

-17-page 8 of Faculty Senate Meeting Minutes of 11arch 29, 1966

conditions:

A. A r eguest made in writing to the Director of Student Activities at l east two weeks in advance of the event, indicating place t~ne, duration, sponsoring group, advisor and chaperones. '

B. The social events J...ay be held in off-campus housing if the houseowner or corporation-owner agrees in writing.

C. At the social event the sponsoring org~nization will assmAe responsibility for the behavior of the attendees, the~r guests, and to the observance of the legal age for partaking of alcoholic beverages.

D. Non-alcoholic beverages must be available so that a studant has a choice of beverage.

Dr. Sadc:J.emire reported on his com..o.unications with Bill l{cHugh, Stata Univer­sity l egal advisor. The education law has in it identification of faculty members. No liability can be assessed to a faculty ,,_embur personally. There appears to be nothing in the provosed policy that seems contrary to State . University policy since there is no State University rule or State statute which puts the local unit in an untenable positon. Mr. HcHugh suggested precautions to include wording of acceptable behavior and attention to the minimum drip.king age.

Dr. stolper inquired if the "save-harmless" provision would be in effect whereby the state extends to tha advisor such a provision if suit is brought .• answer: If the regulations are being followed the State University would uphold the advisor.

Dr. Klee indicated that we are better off with the proposed regulation whi ch is more definitive. Prior to the proposal thera has been dri1~cing with no regulation.

Dr. Cox asked if social events on ca~pus are excluded. Answer: yes. He then asked if tho word 11 only11 should be insert<:.;d after the vrord 11held11 in 2B. After some discussion this suggestion was deemed redundant since alcoholic beverages are not permitted on campus,

Dr. Scholes asked if the ~tudent Affairs Conmuttee had inquired as to any policies used at other schools and the success or lack of success of such policies. Dr. Saddlemire replied that informal inquiries had been made showing a divergence in the various other units. There is nothing available to evaluate the effects of such a policy.

Dr. Wright reminded Senate that although this body is making recom~endations the local college council will take the policy proposal for final action. In point number one he opposed the wording nopenly advertise. 11 Dr. vJright moved to amend the statement to r ead, "Be allowed to openly announce in a dignified manner. 11

-1!-page 9 of Faculty Senqte Meeting ~dnutes of Murch 29, 1966

Dr. Stolper st~ted that he was concerned about what ext8nt p~per and bill boards would go to advertise t ho events a.nd spoke in support of the amendment.

Miss Kemp suggest t;d th~t the intent of point one was to call it a beer or cocktail p-:1rty rather than couching the form in such tt:lrrns as a "tea party. 11

Dr. Kuhl asked if it was necessary to ret.:dn the word advertise. l~ir. Sl~vick favored the llord 11publicise. 11 Mr. Hepler <'.sked why we should set ourselves up as a board to regulate advertising.

Dr. Hright suggested that in 2c .:!.nyone l-lho is an advisor is asking for trou.:>le if the state1n<::nt v1ere acceptE:d. He uov~d to amend the statement to reo.d "behavior of attendees, and their guests, at tr.o event •••••• " Dr. Scholes suggested the \-lOrding "At the socis.l event11 be used to begin the 5entence in 2c. Dr. \1right accepted this charige . 1·Jr. hanley suggested the ch.:>.nge was redundant since it is st:1tad in the pre:.:unble. Dr . \fright felt it made it clearer. The amendment was seconded and carried.

Dr. Stolper r equested the opportunit)- of departing from the agenda in order to speak of a statement which appeo.red in the Lamron. Dr. itade yielded. Dr. Stolper stated that in the interest of the Sen~t8, the alcoholic beverage motion was tabled. However, prior to the investigations and deliberations r elative to legality an announcer.1ent of an affair appeared in the Lamron. This announcement anticipated thu action of Senate and was not r espectful to the Senate. Dr. Stolper wished to r egister a personal censure of this action by the students responsible for t his appearing prior to the action of tl1e Faculty ~enate. The body then r eturned to the r egular order of business •

MAY OHMER C011.il-I.ITTEE - Mr. Goewey, Chairman of the t·iay Dinner Co1r:ritt ~ c w-1:; not present. The report will appear in print 2!: be carried over to the r."x: regular Senate meeting.

Policy Action - Dr. harry Beck moved the adoption of the proposal as a:::c::: :k! for swruner session faculty employment.

In dealing with this question, the Faculty Affairs Committee as::t:::d that the necessities of a balanced Summer Session program should t.:.kc precedence over all other consi derations in SUI:llner Session stJ.ffinr. c;.;t. , the Committee also felt that the desirability of providing equitl~le opportunitie s for appointment to the Summer Session Faculty ana rro·1i:;io:1 f r: : opportunity for members of the faculty to have free time in su::.r.tcrs for study, research, creative wor:l< and travel should also be taken into con:::3d·.:-­ation. Therefore , it has devised the following policy recor."r-cndaticn!::

1. The necessities of a balanced Swn:ner Session progr().l;i, a:; C<·tt r:.!r. : :1 by Departmental Chairman in consultation with the Director of Contin~inc Education, shall take precedence over all other considerations in S~-:.::.: r Session staffing.

2. Summer Session t eaching assigrunents should be rotatt>d in so f:.r ~5 possible.

page 11 of Faculty Senate .t-1eeting r-dnutes - March 29, 1966

3. Under normal circumstances a member of the faculty shall, after a total of six consecutive courses (for exaQple: two courses in the six-week session for three years or six consecutive courses in the pre-session or post-session or some equiv3lent) be free of Swwuer Session responsibilities for one year. A member may opt not to teach s~ner session,

4. Individual departments shall be free to devise departmental policies regarding Swruner Session in so far as they do not violate the above policy. Once a dep~rtment has developed a depart11ental policy, it shall be communicated to the Dean of the College, and to such administrative officers as he shall design3te,

Dr, Beck suggested that the co~nittee's rationale was state in the intro­ductory paragraph and that the February 14, February 18 and Yurch 14 minutes of the comrftittee reflect its action.

Dr. Klee J!'loved to amend it.cm number 3 by prefacing with 11 Under normal circumstances". He suggested that number three should clearly support number one.

Dr. Beck indicated that a faculty had the right to be free in the fourth sununer but that if it wns necessary to meet progran requirements a person might be allowed to teach a fourth swm~er,

Dr, Stolper asked if a person is rotated the 4th or 5th swruners. Answer: the fourth. In point three, if he wished to stay a fourth s~ner would it be possible or is the policy perpetuated,

Hr. Slavick stated that point one takes precedent over points 2, 3, and 4. It was his opinion that what the amendment would achieve was already being achieved in point 1.

Dr. Klee felt it was open to interpretation anu he wanted it stated in both places.

The amendment vias carried.

Since the tioe of the stated meeting (5:30) was consumed the Chair asked for direction from the Senate. Moved by Dr. Cotton, seconded by V. Kemp to extend the I,.eeting no longer than 5:45. l•lotion passed, r~gular order of business resumed.

Dr • .Rockas asked if a member must accept an assignment to teach. .:mswer: No , There is no implication that anyone be r equired to ttJach at any time . Point three tries to provide more equitable sharing of s1..lll1r:ler assigruuents but one never has to teach if he doesn't wish to do so. Dr. ~lade pointed out that this proposal had been under consideration for a long time and Senators had been advised to send suggesti ons to the committee . Dr. Beck stated that no one had sent any recommendations to his comr.li.ttee after they were called for,

page 12 of Faculty Senate Meeting }unutes ~f f~rch 29, 1966

l'll'. Slavick asked to a.r.1end point three to add the sente:1ce, 11A oember may opt not to teach summer s essionn. lv1r. Y..anly asked if this was not already open to the individual when he receivad his notice from the President 1 s office. Dr. Cox stated the term "balanced program" represented strong l anguage and asked who makes the choice ••• If one is needed to give a balanced program and individual may hav~ to teach even if he. doesn't want to. Dr. Beck replied that there ap~eared to be a basic assumption that people are beating us over the head to teach when the reverse is true. People wanting to teach have not been able to - therefore the proposal.

Dr. Rockas suggested that in the formulation of policy we should be preparing for future action.

Dr. Hall spoke in opposition to point four. He indicated there was the possibility of selecting graduate teaching faculty who may not be qualified. Dr. Beck suggested this possibility was cared for in point one.

It wns moved, seconded and carried to adopt the proposal as amended. Dr. D. Hall and Dr. John Jackson registered neg3tive votes for the proposal.

HOi-WRS POLICY

Dr. Stephens, Chairmnn of the Undergraduate ACademic Affairs Committee moved the following revi sed r ecowmendation for a policy on honors.

The following policy on honors is r 0cotmended for approval by the Standing Committee on Undergradu~te ;\cn.demic .i\ffairs. College policy for awarding honors at graduu.tion will be as follo'l'rs:

l. The grade of H in the pre.cticum will not be a r equirewent for graduation with honors. This part of the new policy is to become effective immediatel y so that students in the June, 1966 graduating class may be awarded honors based on this new part of the policy of awarding honors.

2. honors:

Ther e will be three classifications of students graauating 1dth Cmd laude--cm~ulative average of 3.25 to 3.45. Magna cum l aude--cumulative average of 3.46 to 3.74. Swrui~ c~~ l aude--cwuulative average of 3.75 and above.

This part of new policy is to become effective beginning with the January 1967 graduating class.

3. The practicum will be graded on the basis of ~-B-C-D-E rather than H-S-U beginning with the present Junior class. The 1~-B-C-D-E grades in the practicum will be computed for the purposes of det(;:rmining a student' s cumulative averaGe• This part of the new policy is to become effective beginning >~ith the January 1967 graduating class.

4. Each academic department and/or division will be authorized to pre scribe rcquirer.1ents for dcpart.rnental a.nd/or divisional honors subject to approval of th8 Faculty Senate, such honor to be recognized at coJ~aencement.

l1r. Sla•ick reported that n jamority of persons superv1s1ng practice teachers had voted to use S and U rather than letter grades. Dr. Wade challenged the accuracy of this state1n.ant and sustained the r eport of the cor.nnittee . He ag~in reminded the 5enate that ample time for discussion on the proposal has · been provided. Dr. Stephens replied to Mr. Sl~vicks statement by reporting that the Division of Education had r ecoJ£unendeu a l etter grade, Student Senate , ~ibrary Education, Speech Education Division had each reco~nended a letter grade. It was felt that if a student knew he was going to r eceive a letter grade he might be motivated to do a better job in student t eaching.

Dr. Wade suggested that in light of Dr. Stephens report}~. Slavisk's statistics were open to question. Dr. Stolper stated that the ~linutes of the Division of Education reflected the t~jority opinion of Campus School Supervisors for the letter grade. 11r Slavick indicated his statistics were based on a report by secondary education supervisors.

The question was called for and carried.

Dr. Stephens moved the following resolution r elative to reporting nud-term progress:

Whereas the present system of r eporting mid-term student progress is unsatisfactory to the faculty and the administration, Resolved, that, The present system of reporting progress be eliminated.

Further that The faculty of the College reaffirms its responsibility to continue·to provide periodic evaluations of student progress. The fon~nd method of evaluation are properly the concern of the particular discipline as detcrEd.ned by departr.1ental policy. However, at the beginning of each courBe of instruction the instructor is responsible for explainiDg acadcr.lic standards, including tha evalu~tion procedures to be used. Upon inquiry by a student, or the Dean of the College, the instructor should be prepared to provi de a progress r eport but not necessarily a l etter grade.

I t is also further resolved, while students are expected to assunte the responsibility and initiative for deter1:d.nj,ng course progress from faculty, instructors will make themselves r easonably available to provide this inform~tion.

Further, that An exception is made in the instance of Frcsh~en studeDts for whom faculty will provide to the Dean of the College at the mid-point of each semester a r eport of all frcshnilln who ar~ dChieving below the l evel of average (c) achievel!tent.

Further, The Dean of the college wi ll make these below average achievement r ecords avai14hle to f aculty advisors, the De~n of Students and others who

are appropriately involved in providing a~vice and counselling to freshmen.

The resolution was seconded and carried.
