Graduate Program Initiatives for 2010-11:
The Council resumed its discussion of recent graduate
program initiatives. David King, Dean of
Graduate Studies and Research, presented a list of 14 programs that are now authorized
to enroll students. Another 16 are in
various stages of development or review by faculty governance.
Action Item: This discussion will resume at the next Provost’s
Council meeting.
Guidelines on Assigned-time Activity:
Mehran Nojan, Director of Institutional Research and
Assessment, presented a draft document designed to serve as a guide for
assigning faculty to administrative duties or scholarship activities in lieu of
teaching. It was suggested that
inconsistencies exist across departments as to how reassignments are made and
that a guide would be useful to department chairs and deans.
Action Item: Mehran will revise the document in light of the
discussion and bring to Provost’s Council for approval.
