Memorandum To: Professor Jan Tovey Chair of the Faculty From: Steve Ballard Chancellor Date: June 3, 2009 Subject: Faculty Senate Resolutions for April 2009 I hereby approve the following resolutions which were adopted by the Faculty Senate on April 21, 2009: Faculty Senate Resolution 09-23 ENGL 3290 Asian American Literatures as a Foundation Curriculum course for Humanities Faculty Senate Resolution 09-24 Revisions to the ECU Faculty Manual, Part V.I.K., Office Hours Faculty Senate Resolution 09-25 Discontinuation of EdS in Counselor and Adult Education, College of Education; CAS in Library Science, College of Education; BSBE in Marketing Education, College of Education; Master of Music Therapy, School of Music Faculty Senate Resolution 09-26 Elimination of BS in Accounting, College of Business Faculty Senate Resolution 09-27 Renaming of the following programs: Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance to Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance Performance, School of Theatre and Dance; Certificate in Distance Instruction to Certificate in Distance Learning and Administration, College of Education; BSBA in Management Accounting to BSBA in Accounting, College of Business Faculty Senate Resolution 09-28 Creation of a new concentration in Mechanical Engineering, College of Technology and Computer Science Faculty Senate Resolution 09-29 Creation of a Certificate in Computer-based Instruction, College of Education Faculty Senate Resolution 09-31 Curriculum matters contained in the minutes of the March 26, 2009 and April 9, 2009 committee meetings I will hold Faculty Senate Resolution 09-30 (Revisions to the ECU Faculty Manual, Part V. Academic Information, Section III, Curriculum Development), pending revisions by the Faculty Senate. Rationale for holding Resolution 09-30: The proposed revision to Part V.III.C.1 (Step III, Request for Authorization to Establish), requires an “External review (master’s and doctoral programs only)” after the approval of the “University Curriculum Committee or Graduate Curriculum Committee as appropriate for degree level.” Currently, external reviews for master’s and doctoral programs are considered by the Graduate Curriculum Committee in their deliberation process. Currently, the Provost or Vice Chancellor for Health Sciences, as appropriate, reviews undergraduate and graduate curriculum changes. The proposed revision to Part V.III.B., Curriculum Approval Process, omits the Academic Council from the review process for both undergraduate and graduate curriculum changes. pc: Faculty Senate Officers Dr. Marilyn Sheerer, Provost and Sr. Vice Chancellor for Academic and Student Affairs Dr. Phyllis Horns, Vice Chancellor for Health Sciences Dr. Deirdre Mageean, Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Studies
