Academic Deans Council Minutes : September 21, 1976

Abstract

Vice President Edgar reminded the Deans that the faculty Service Load Report was due September 24. Dr. Alderman distributed to each Dean his respective list of full-time faculty as copied from the 1976-1977 budget. Vice President Edgar brought before the group Dr. Looby's suggestions that the Deans consider the issuance of the undergraduate catalog once every two years. The consensus was not in favor of the 2-year catalog, since the savings would not seem to justify the change. A form for reporting cheating or plagiarism was discussed by Dean McBriarty who sought reactions from the group. Dean Rand raised the question as to whether or not it would be appropriate to require his signature on Conference Course Request forms initiated by graduate students. Vice President Edgar initiated a discussion on faculty workload and distributed copies of the policy worked out the previous year by the Faculty Workload Committee.
