SECTION 7:  MISCELLANEOUS ACTIONS

 

September 25, 2000

 

 

 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.
