Academic Deans Council Minutes : October 20, 1970

Abstract

Dr. Edgar referred to the revised academic schedules deadlines provided to the deans with a cover memo dated August 14, 1970, making special reference to the dates that copy was due from the deans, due to the printer and ready for distribution for Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall Quarters, 1971. Dr. Edgar noted that faculty appointment recommendations were received in the President's Office in every conceivable form and often over or under the budgeted salary. Dr. Edgar brought up a proposal made by Dr. Eshelman of the Media Center which suggested a 50/50 cost sharing for purchase of new films by the department first requesting purchase of the film and the Media Center. Dean Aurand moved and Dean Charignon seconded that the Commencement dates proposed in Dr. Edgar's memo be approved. Dr. Edgar said that his office was not always made aware of resignations and requested that department chairmen be asked to send copies of written resignations, and memos of any verbal resignations to him. Dr. Edgar asked for views on the recognition of faculty organizations by the University. The question of a "Statute of limitations" in regard to failing grades was introduced.
