October 22,2003 corrected and approved (Proffit & Philyaw). Roll Call Members present:Abel, Adams, Atterholt, Bailey, Beam, Burns, Chamberlin, Clark, Caruso, Graham, Gibson, Henderson, Kane, Kolenbrander, Mechling, Noel, Norris, Pennington, Philyaw, Proffit, Smith, Spencer, Starr, Tholkes, Thompson, Wooten Members with proxies: Bell, Brown-Strauss, Mallory, Nybo, Vihnanek Members absent: Bardo, Bumgarner, Connelly, Ellern, Metcalf Vice-Chancellor Collings for Dr Bardo 1. Budget Concerns: No growth money for the university system. Growth has always been funded. We must make a case. Must show sustained growth. 2. Retention rate for freshman has not improved. It has flat-lined at 70%. It is hard to find out why freshman leave. The First year Task Force is discussing factors that influence retention: correlation between withdrawal and DUI; do Ä¢¹½¶ĢŹÓʵstudents need to work for financial support; and 5 wk. grades and the Advisement Center. Questions/Discussion An advisor is supposed to contact the Advisement Center if there is a need. About 33% of our freshmen leave. ASU has an 81% retention rate. 22% of students graduate in 4 years. Does the retention rate vary with the caliber of students. Ability has not mattered at WCU. What data do we have about students with lower SAT scores and grade point averages? How do we move students from advisement center to a major in a department. We need more than a form. We need a better connection. There will be a report from Rick Collings later in the year and then do some brainstorming. We have a number of students on medication for depression. How many come with problems and on medication? Mary Adams, Senior Faculty Assembly Delegate 1. The next meeting is Friday 11/21 2. Some issues coming up: athlectics, cap on out-of-state students. Ä¢¹½¶ĢŹÓʵis currently at 9%, down from 10% last year. Tuition is close to 4 times higher for out-of-state students. SGA President. No Report Staff Forum Chair. No Report University Advisory Council Chair. No Report Newt Smith, Chair of Faculty 1. UAC and the demise of the Council on Student Affairs. 2. Millennium Campus It will change who we are. It will be a research park. It will add 300 acres for expansion. We need to consider the impact on the colleges. It is outside the domain of the Senate. Where do we want to grow the millennium campus. Need to start a master planning process for the campus to deal with the changes since 1999. Here is another opportunity to be involved. Need to examine spaces and for what uses they have been identified. 3. Residence halls. The Greek Village and new residence hall will have a facilities plan. Helder is on the list to be renovated. May need a new dorm by 2005. Residence halls will have 3 themes: single rooms, private baths, living spaces. Developers are bringing 400-500 beds off campus. COUNCIL REPORTS A. Council on Faculty Affairs, Kevin Pennington, Chair 1. Distance education policy and faculty load 2. Marilyn Chamberlin will assist the Council by taking the responsibility of Chair for the spring term. B. Council on Instruction and Curriculum, Scott Philyaw, Chair 1. Revisions to Ä¢¹½¶ĢŹÓʵ Repeat and Grade Replacement Policy Questions/Discussion 1. Repeatable course are considered re-enrollment 2. What grades may be replaced? 3. Courses taken at Ä¢¹½¶ĢŹÓʵmust be replaced by courses taken at Ä¢¹½¶ĢŹÓʵand not another university. 4. Ä¢¹½¶ĢŹÓʵwill not accept grades from other institutions. 5. It sounds like you can not transfer credit hours. Motion: Repeat Policy: Undergraduate students may repeat any Ä¢¹½¶ĢŹÓʵcourse taken for credit in order to earn a better grade for the course for up to a maximum of 18 hours of course work. In calulation of the grade point average, the grade earned in the repeated course will replace the prior grade with no change in the number of quality hours for the course. Grades earned at Ä¢¹½¶ĢŹÓʵmay be replaced only by courses taken at Ä¢¹½¶ĢŹÓʵ. How can this process be automated? 1. After 18 hours one can not re-enroll. 2. Need some means of enforcement of repeat. 3. there is an appeals process. 4. Any student who exceeds 18 hours will not receive credit for the courses. 5. Concerns about repeating. In the repeat policy the replacement grade stays. Motion to table (Spencer & Starr) 2. First year Seminar Currently 15 hours are required. Some students take a lot of 4 hour courses. Council on Student Affairs 1. Plus/minus grading Who makes the decision on changes to the policy? If we want to change, how do we do it? The UNC system seems to be split on the use of plus/minus. This Council recommends that the issues be taken up by Faculty Affairs Council. It was discussed 6 years ago by the Council on Faculty Affairs. The UAC is not the correct place to discuss this because of the multiple constituencies. Grading is a faculty domain. UAC does not make decision or determine policy. Faculty is inconsistent in the use of plus/minus C- does not count. Is a C- a low C or below a C Some resent there is not an A+ Motion to move the plus/minus grading issue to the Council on faculty Affairs. (Hale & Noel) Vote: Did not pass Motion to move the plus/minus grading issue to the Council on Curriculun and Instruction. (Gibson & Kane) Vote: 2. UAC response to SAC disbanding Questions/Discussion Options: UAC- SAC not a good fit. The UAC does not make decisions or determine policy. Form a new committee with administrators Move to Faculty Affairs SAC should move to division of Student Affairs. Subcommittee on Admission/readmission and scholarships move to FAC The target date is March. Will bring a recommendation to Senate in December. Academic Policies issues should not be part of Student Affairs division. Subcommittees need to end up somewhere else. Get rid of council and keep subcommittees. Need a subcommittee on academic issues. OTHER BUSINESS Old Business 1. MS in Social Work Gibson representing Huff Hours will include field work. Closest program is in Charlotte. Motion to give permission to plan. (Proffit & ) Questions/Discussion: 1. Why now? Timely due to growth in Ä¢¹½¶ĢŹÓʵenrollment. Can use new money for program. Chapel Hill may move their program from Asheville because of the residency and employment requirement making it difficult for area students Vote: approved unanimously. New Business 1. SACS Dr. Cory Barkdale in University Planning will handle SACS. The number of Must statements down to 70. Notable changes: Core requirement #5 is expected to be in place. Document will go to an off- site team. Later there may be an on-site team The quality enhancement plan be will be examined by an on-site team. Ä¢¹½¶ĢŹÓʵwill have a 1 year delay. June 2005 must show that Ä¢¹½¶ĢŹÓʵhas a master assessment plan. It is recommended to do a QEP 2. Request for permission to plan an EDD in College Leadership There is a critical need for this program because 45% of community college presidents and 80% of administrators will retire in the next 10 years. There is a large student potential for this program. There is rigor to the program. A GRE of 1050-1100 is required. National groups will evaluate program. There are 5 Ä¢¹½¶ĢŹÓʵfaculty who can teach in this program. Coursse will include finance, ethics. Motion to suspend rules and vote to give permission to plan this program without the usual waiting/study time. (Proffit & Kane) Questions/Discussion 1. Serious questions about program. Vote: passed. 3. Summer School. The State took $138,000 tuition money from Summer School. Therefore those teaching summer courses will not be paid until July. If paid in mid July the tax rate is the highest. It probably will not happen this way again. Consider at the next Senate meeting.
