Academic Deans Council Minutes : November 14, 1978

Abstract

Edgar distributed the "Policy on Long-Range Computer Plans and Priorities for Computer Center Programing Services." Discussion followed concerning many aspects of the operations of the Computer Center with John Goodwin of the Computer Center. The deans were quite concerned over the lack of Computer Assisted Instruction available to their students. Dr. Edgar commented on the inability of the Media Center at time to provide services to the University due to the loss of the Director and three key staff personnel. Dr. Edgar reviewed and interpreted some statistical information on summer school for the period 1971-1978 which he had sent to all the deans. Dr. Edgar mentioned that an Ad Hoc Committee has been appointed to prepare a Title I proposal on the Non-Traditional Student. Dr. Edgar suggested reading an article in the Chronical this past week on "Retention of Students" vis-a-vis "Intrusive Counseling."
