B. The posthumous degree or certificate shall be noted appropriately in the next Commencement program.

 

DISCUSSION

Every effort should be made to resolve disputes at the lowest possible level (i.e., individual, supervisor, department chairperson, program director, and/or dean). If resolution by these means is unsatisfactory, formal departmental or school procedures, if available, should be instituted and/or the office designated by the Vice President for Student Affairs should be notified. Students are also encouraged to contact their elected WSUSA representatives, if desired.

B. Procedures and hearings of all Weber State University bodies which have the potential of sanctioning students or providing relief to students will follow guidelines specified in the Student Code. Actions which seek redress from or imposition of sanctions on staff/faculty members of Weber State University and/or its administrative entities will follow guidelines and procedures outlined in the Weber State University PPM.

C. Issues relating to admission, residence halls, academic requirements, eligibility, residency, or parking violations are deferred to University venues especially designated to handle such issues, and appeals from those bodies will be considered only as outlined in section IX.

D. Scope:

1. In the absence of specific guidelines and procedures indicated elsewhere in the PPM, the due process provisions contained in the Student Code shall be followed.

2. Financial and business obligations such as payment of tuition, parking fees, residence hall charges, financial aid, etc., are considered business transactions and are covered by legal agreements in addition to the Student Code.

3. Generally, University jurisdiction and discipline shall be limited to conduct which occurs on University premises or which adversely affects the University community and/or the pursuit of its objectives.

E. Specific Issues

In order to promote the resolution of disputes in an efficient and effective manner, the power to resolve particular issues shall be exercised as follows:

1. Academic Issues

Whenever possible, complaints or grievances should be resolved at the lowest level possible (i.e. faculty member, staff member, director, etc.).  Students with unresolved academic issues can invoke the following levels in petitioning their cases.  Individuals must submit their petition within four (4) months after the event or issue being contested.  Time frames may be waived to accommodate extraordinary circumstances.  A student’s petition must contain a statement of the relief sought (desired outcome) and a short account of the facts, reasons, and rationale to support the desired outcome.

The petition levels are sequential and students must exhaust their options at one level before proceeding to the next unless there are unusual or extenuating circumstances that warrant a petition going directly to the College Hearing Committee.  The College Dean will make this determination.

Petition Level 1:  Petition the College Department Chair (or Department Committee if applicable). The Chair or Department Committee will determine how to proceed and shall attempt to resolve the issue(s) within a reasonable time period.  Once a decision has been reached, the department chair (or Committee Chair) will make a good faith effort to respond in writing to the student within 10 business days with a copy of the letter sent to the college dean.  If a satisfactory resolution cannot be found, the student may petition the college dean.   

Petition Level 2: Petition the College Dean.

The Dean shall attempt to resolve the issue(s) within a reasonable time period. Once a decision has been reached, the college dean will make a good faith effort to respond in writing to the student within 10 business days with a copy of the letter sent to the department chair.  If a satisfactory resolution cannot be found, the student may petition the College Hearing  Committee.
 

Petition Level 3:  Petition the College Hearing Committee.

The petitioning student has the opportunity to meet in-person and present his or her case to the College Hearing Committee.  The student may also be accompanied by an advisor at his or her expense (this person is advisory only).  The committee shall meet to render a decision within a reasonable time period.  A written summary of the significant assertions and findings of the hearing shall be kept.  Decisions of the committee must be in writing and should give the basis for the decision.  The committee will make a good faith effort to respond in writing to the student within 10 business days with a copy of the letter sent to the college dean.  There are no appeals beyond the College Hearing Committee other than due process violations. (NOTE: Every college must have a five-member hearing committee appointed by the Dean consisting of at least one student and four other members of the University community from the respective college with one person acting as chair - see PPM 6-22.XI.A.1).

Petition Level 4: Meet with the University Due Process Officer on claims of substantive or procedural due process violation(s). The Due Process Officer can rule only on due process issues and shall render a decision and communicate it in writing to the student with copies to the College Dean and College Hearing Committee.  The Due Process Officer may take the following actions:

b. Direct the College Hearing Committee to reopen the hearing for a particular purpose in order to safeguard due process;

 provisions of Section 9 of the PPM. Specific guidance with respect to this procedure should be obtained from the Due Process Officer.

5. Student Grievances Against Staff/Administration

 Whenever possible, complaints or grievances should be resolved at the lowest level possible (i.e. staff member, supervisor, director, etc.).  If unresolved, grievances against an individual member of the University staff or administration should be referred to the vice president having supervisory jurisdiction over the subject matter of the complaint for resolution according to the provisions of the Student Code or other relevant portions of the PPM (see PPMs 3-2, 3-14, 3-15 and 3-32).  A hearing committee will be appointed by the appropriate vice president. The five-member hearing committee shall consist of two students, as well as other members of the University staff and/or administration with one person acting as chair - see PPM 6-22.XI.A.4.   Specific guidance with respect to this procedure should be obtained from the Due Process Officer.

DISCUSSION

      Goddard School of Business & Economics – Post-Tenure Review Policy

(Available for viewing on the Faculty Senate Website http://weber.edu/facultysenate/default.html click on the March 14, 2013 Agenda, Item 4)  

 

DISCUSSION

            APAFT committee approved this document with only minor style changes with hyphens.

SECOND         Shelly Costley

     Charge 4 – PPM1-17 Evaluation of Academic Deans – Recommendation

(Available for viewing on the Faculty Senate Website http://weber.edu/facultysenate/default.html click on the March 14, 2013 Agenda, Item 4)  

DISCUSSION

Section A  updated to specify the process and timeline.

            Give Dean’s the opportunity to submit a status report on their college.

Section B to correct the title of the survey to read Dean’s Leadership and Management Evaluation    survey.

Section C – Removed the hard copy

 

The wording formally evaluated by the provost every two years sounds confusing.

Changes the term length to 24 months.

It sounds like the Deans will be on record and evaluated at the end of the second year.

Currently information is gathered at two years with a formal evaluation at the end of the 4th year.

Information was gathered every two years and rolled into the 4 year evaluation.

This sound like it may inhibit recruitment if this language is used. 

Input before the end of four years.

Sounds like a formal evaluation every two years as it is now written.

Reviewed at 3 and 6

Survey instrument – should this dean be reappointed.  Why is it on the survey if it has no meaning

Provide a greater voice for faculty input for an interim evaluation

No conversation about the impact of recruitment.

Correct the course if progress isn’t satisfactory.

Safeguard Dean and empower faculty.

Can a review be requested if one wasn’t scheduled?

Language that says interim instead of every two years.

Changes to policy erases the distinction between an interim review and a full review.

“Interim two-year” rather than every 2 years.

Recommend in Section A to remove ‘formally’ and ‘every’ in the first sentence

 

MOTION         Vicki Vickers motioned to return  PPM 1-17 to the APAFT committee with                                        recommendations listed.

      ENTR2001 Sales & Marketing: Scaling a successful Business Model – New Course proposal

      DISCUSSION       

            Vel Casler & Carl Grunander from the Sales and Service Technology Department voiced concerns   on the new course ENTR2001 title “Sales & Marketing: Scaling a Successful Business Model”.

            Jeff Steagall and Cliff Nowell from School of Business and Economics.

            SST Department is in support of this new minor.  Is asking to change the name of the course to   “Entrepreneurship Marketing: Scaling a Successful Business Model”.

            Would like to settle this quickly as opposed to sending back to Curriculum Committee.

            The School of Business doesn’t think removing sales from the title will describe the coursework  involved in the course.

            This course would work nicely with the Sales Center.

            SST would like to work together with the Business School in the spirit of cooperation to have  students from both disciplines take classes and complement the available degrees in both Colleges.

            Will Business be adding new courses with “sales” in the title?

            Would you be willing to have students take a course from the SST department that could satisfy one  of your degree requirements in the future?

            SST would welcome students from the school of Business to earn a minor in Sales, likewise, wewould encourage our students to earn a minor from your school as well.

            The Sales and Service Technology Department are withdrawing their objection with this ENTR2001 course.
