GUIDELINES FOR DIVERSITY COURSES – Kathleen Lukken

This document has been constructed by the Academic Affairs Inclusivity Action Team, working under the Assistant to the President for Diversity, to assist faculty in designing and implementing a course to meet the diversity requirement. It is offered as a guideline and a resource. Section I outlines the diversity course criteria as passed by the faculty senate April 15, 1999. Section II discusses ideal elements of a diversity course to capture the general philosophy, or spirit, of a diversity requirement.

Finally, Section III addresses key elements to a diversity course syllabus. Examples of these key elements from outstanding syllabi (already accepted to meet the diversity requirement) are provided.

ADMISSIONS, STANDARDS, AND STUDENT AFFAIRS COMMITTEE – Georgine Bills, Chair

Additional Charge: Credit by CLEP, Special Examination, and Petition
Recommendation:
The committee has fully explored and discussed the current policy and does not recommend any changes at this time; and

The committee recommends the language in the catalog (which describes these processes for students) should be revised and enhanced so students will be informed that "W" precludes their opportunity to obtain credit but that courses which are dropped within the first three weeks of the semester have no transcript entry and therefore are within the policy.

Motion: Moved to approve the above recommendation for Credit by CLEP, Special Examination, and Petition by the Admissions, Standards, and Student Affairs Committee.
Made: Alden Talbot
Second: Judith Mitchell
Outcome: The motion passed unanimously.

Additional Charge: Disclosure of Services for Students with Disabilities
Recommendation:
The committee endorses the two-sentence statement (p.4 of the SSD booklet, "Any student requiring accommodations or services due to a disability must contact Services for Students with Disabilities [SSD] in room 181 of the Student Service Center. SSD can also arrange to provide course materials in alternative formats if necessary.") suggested by the office of Services for Students with Disabilities for inclusion on course syllabi; and

The committee recommends a similar statement be included in the main body of information provided in the "header" of the catalog section "Student Affairs Services," and Information (p. 22)

Motion: Moved to approve the above recommendation by the Admissions, Standards, and Student Affairs Committee on the Disclosure of Services for Students with Disabilities.
Made: John Sohl
Second: Warren Hill
Outcome: The motion passed unanimously.

Charge 6: Review policies for grade changes, late registration, late withdrawals, etc. and provide training for policy enforcement and consistency.

Following are proposed changes, rearrangements, and restructurings for various sections in the PPM dealing with matters of registering and withdrawing from classes:

1. Update PPM 6-3 - Registration in conformity with semester credit hour levels. (Reference: General Catalogue, 1999-2000, pg. 20). Refine some wording.

2. Add a new paragraph to PPM 6-3 Registration governing registration for courses after the beginning of class work.

3. Remove Section 6-17a — Student Registration and Class Load from its current position under Student Affairs and add it to 6-3 — Registration, where it more properly belongs.

4. Revise this new section on student registration and class load (now Section 6-3.III) to clarify the policy for summer registration and to specify the appeals procedure for overload registration

5. Collect policies on Withdrawal from Courses (4-19h - Withdrawal from Individual Classes and 6-7 - Withdrawal from the University) and place them together in the currently empty section 6-4. In this manner, "Registration" and "Withdrawal" will be conveniently located side by side. Refine some wording for clarity and consistency with General Catalogue.

6. Remove the policy on Academic Renewal from Section 4-19 and put it on its own in Section 4-20, currently empty.

The Executive Committee suggested that the percentages listed in item #5, PPM 6-4, B, be listed in weeks for fall and spring semesters and as a percentage for summer term.

PPM 6-4, B. No entry will appear on the transcripts of those students who drop individual classes courses during the first 30% of the term three weeks of fall or spring semester, or during the first 20% of summer term. A "W" grade will appear on the transcripts of students who withdraw from individual classes courses during the period between 30% and 60% of the term of the fourth to the eighth weeks of fall or spring semester, or during 21% to 53% of summer term.

These changes will be reflected in the information sent to Faculty Senate members.

Motion: Moved to approve the above recommendation of the Admissions, Standards, and Student Affairs Committee regarding the policies for grade changes, late registration, late withdrawals, etc. and provide training for policy enforcement and consistency.
Made: Alden Talbot
Second: John Sohl
Outcome: The motion passed unanimously.
