Academic Deans Council Minutes : May 10, 1988

Abstract

As a next step in the development of a degree-audit system, Provost Gillis began to define University requirements in the format needed by the system. The Dean's report on their colleges' experiences with the Deans' Scholarships were due. A budget for Early Admission/ Early Registration was established. Provost Gillis read a lengthy list of events falling within Continuing Education's purview but held on campus without consultation of that department. The Computer Center submitted a proposal for a micro-computer network. Each college was to soon receive its limited-service allocation for 1988-89. The OBOR Mast Plan was under review and the IUC-Provosts were collating comments and suggestions. H.B. 778, which would mandate accepting American Sign Language as substitute for a foreign language, was fraught with problems. Proposals were due for the use of DeBartolo Curriculum Development Funds. For subsidy purposes, Biological Sciences would move from Category 2 to 3. Use of laser printing proved costly. CAST received a Productivity Improvement grant. Department chairs were to get the dean's approval before designating a faculty member to take over an ill faculty member's course.
