A.
Graduate faculty status for Emeritus faculty - Revised Guidelines for Graduate faculty Appointment were
submitted to Council members to review with new wording on how to evaluate and
review emeritus faculty, retired faculty, and faculty in post-retirement for
their appointments to graduate faculty.
Original motion was tabled at the May 8, 2000 with a request that the
Graduate School research this item and provide additional information and at
the next meeting. The following
recommendations were made from the School of Graduate Studies for approval:
1.
Remove
the phrase or an emeritus faculty member
from the Interim policy description.
2.
Revise the text in III as follows:
Faculty in
post-retirement, retired, and emeritus status retain the level of graduate
faculty appointment in effect at the time of retirement. When the term of appointment expires, these
categories of faculty are eligible to reapply for appointment to the graduate
faculty based on the procedures and guidelines stated herein.
B. Graduate Nondegree Admission – The policy on
graduate nondegree admission, as written, cannot be enforced because ETSU
cannot withhold the “awarding of graduate credit.” Withholding the ETSU transcript is the Graduate School’s only
leverage for assuring that nondegree students comply with the SACS requirement
that students must have a bachelor’s degree.
The recommended revision to the policy would read:
These students are
expected to have, at a minimum, a bachelor’s degree from an accredited
institution and must submit an official transcript(s) showing proof of degree
prior to the end of the first term of enrollment. If official proof of degree is not submitted prior to the end of
the first term of
enrollment, the ETSU graduate transcript showing credit earned in nondegree
status will not be released.
C. Dr. Champney was
reelected as Chair of the Graduate Council for FY 2000/2001.
Graduate School Assessment: Brown discussed a plan to conduct an assessment of the Graduate School. Champney, Herrin and Pfeiffer will draft an assessment instrument.
