Presentation Transcript

  1. Academic Program Priorities Context(s) Updates Next Steps

  2. Context: Revision of the 1991 Document (09-11) • Task Force created to develop draft (C. Taylor & M. Lee chaired) • Faculty Senate recommends revision to President in S11 (FS 10-71/Ex. ) • President Gonzalez responds (memorandum) • Provost prepares revision based upon the President’s memo (draft) • President requests Senate response by mid-September

  3. 3 Documents • Revised 1991 Policy: (FS 10-71/Ex. ) • President Gonzalez’s memo • Provost’s draft applying the President’s recommendations

  4. Provost’s Draft-Main Features(response to President’s memorandum) • Editorial Revisions designed to improve clarity and flow • Other Academic Programs: Section “V.  Priorities Within Other Academic Programs” has been deleted. • Prioritization Criteria: Section III and IV need to be more intentional and explicit with regard to the university’s core mission – quality instruction and student progress toward graduation. 

  5. Editorial (these appear throughout) Designed to improve clarity and flow without altering the original recommendation, for example: • Quartile placement, which originally took place later in the document is moved up to the second paragraph. 

  6. “Section V :Non-Degree Granting Units”Deleted • The proposed criteria do not apply very well to “non-degree granting units” such as the Library, et al. • Evaluation of “non-degree granting units” should occur under a separate policy and separate criteria

  7. Proposed criteria to be used for prioritization(Section III and IV) • Criteria now categorized as to Primary and Secondary • PrimaryCriteria: those addressing university’s core mission • SecondaryCriteria: all others, including those in original Senate recommendation • Weighted Criteria • 60% Core Mission Criteria • 40% Secondary Criteria

  8. Next Steps—by Mid-September • Discussion here and EC • EC forwards draft response to Senate • Senate reviews and acts • President reviews
