[Faculty] Faculty Senate Summary

[Martin, Edward C - (ecmartin)]

Dear Fellow CALS Faculty,

 

Attached is a summary from our last two Senate Meetings (January 26 and
February 4).  For more information, go to the faculty governance website at
http://facultygovernance.arizona.edu/.  

 

In short, we discussed 1) the Governor's proposed budget and the possible
impacts on the University and the students; 2) the meetings with ABOR; and
3) the meaning of Academic Freedom and  perhaps changes that need to be made
at the UA to assure everyone is aware of our policy and guidelines.  

 

We also approved a class participation, attendance and administrative drop
policy that included on-line courses and acceptance the Cambridge
International Examinations (CIE) as a Credit-by-Exam Option (in addition to
International Baccalaureate and Advanced Placement exam scores).  This give
departments the option to accept the CIE as a credit-by-exam option for
their degree certification.  

 

Finally, concern was expressed that we do not have enough faculty
participation in our faculty governance system.  I encourage all that can,
to participate as much as possible and please don't forget to vote at
http://facultyvoting.arizona.edu/voter.

 

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.

 

Ed Martin
