The approval of the Minutes of the meeting of January 20, l986, was postponed

until the March meeting.
Chairman Canon made the following announcements:

”As you know, last year's Ombudsman, Chuck Ellinger,
formed an ad hoc Committee on Cheating and Plagiarism and it
is the intention of the Senate Council to bring its report to
the Senate at the March meeting.

The Senate Council is developing policies for implemen—
tation and oversight of the General Studies Curriculum which
was passed last week. We may bring this up at the March
meeting, but I think more likely it will come up at the April
meeting.

There are a couple of announcements about external rela-
tions. I saw some of you at the Rally on Higher Education in
Frankfort last Wednesday. I think UK was well represented.
We had a fairly big contingent, probably bigger than any uni-
versity in the state except Kentucky State.

There is a statewide faculty leadership organization
called the Coalition of Senate and Faculty Leaders made up of
the senate and faculty leaders at the publicly supported state
institutions. We had a meeting prior to the Rally and planned

 

 some lobbying activities for this session of the General
Assembly. You will probably get in the mail a request for a
donation for our lobbying activities. The goal of the coali—
tion is as follows: basically we are trying to get full
formula funding or as much as possible. We are seeking a
minimum of six percent the first year and seven percent for
the second year increases for faculty salaries. We are
working to get a faculty member on the Council of Higher
Education. We are having a hospitality suite open to legis—
lators during Higher Education Emphasis Week early in March
and the organization will also be having a banquet Friday,
March 7, in Frankfort. Information on this banquet will be
circulated to members of the Senate. You are all invited.
Members of the legislature are invited. The featured speaker
will be Governor Martha Layne Collins. On Saturday, March 8,
there will be some workshops on various topics. They are:
"How to Lobby Your Legislator" and "Discussion on the Role of
the Council on Higher Education in Kentucky.“ There will be a
panel on General Studies in Education, on faculty benefits and
one on the role of faculty in academic governance. More
information about that will be circulated. The Senate Council
is trying to take advantage of what we see as a momentum
building up to funding higher education in the state, and we
are trying to do this through direct contact with members of
the General Assembly as well as public relations activities.

The Senate Council wants to withdraw Item 5 C, the pro-
'posed addition to Rule IV, 2.4 pertaining to transfer between
colleges of students dropped from a college but not from the
University from today's agenda. There have been several
suggestions that the language would allow some transfers to
occur that we do not want to occur. Rather than to rewrite
the proposal on the Senate floor, we have thought it best to
withdraw the proposal, rewrite it, and present it again in
March.

The Chair recognized Professor Joseph Bryant for the presentation of the
honorary degree candidates as recommended by the Graduate School. Professor Bryant
is the Chairman of the Honorary Degrees Committee and is also a former Chairman of
the Senate Council. The Chairman reminded the Senate that the nominations are to
remain confidential until they have been approved by the Board of Trustees.
Following Professor Bryant's presentation, the senators voted unanimously to accept
the four candidates for recommendation to the President.

The Chair recognized Professor Wilbur Frye, Chair-elect of the Senate Council.
Professor Frye, on behalf of the Senate Council, moved approval of the proposed
addition to University Senate Rules, Section IV, 2.1, Admission Requirements,
Undergraduate Colleges. Professor Frye said the new requirement would require that
all new freshmen and transfer students attend an Advising Conference as assigned at
the time of admission unless excused by permission of the Univeristy Registrar in
special circumstances and emergencies. This proposed addition was circulated to
members of the Senate under date of January 3l, 1986

 

 

 A Senator asked why it was the University Registrar and not the Director of
Admissions excusing attendance. Dr. Randa11 Dah1, University Registrar, said the
Registrar's Office is administrative1y responsib1e for the Advising Conferences.

The motion passed unanimous1y on a voice vote and reads as fo11ows:

Proposed: (New section is under1ined)

IV 2.0 Admission Requirements

 

2.1 Undergraduate Co11eges
Students who satisfy the basic admission require—
ments may register in any undergraduate co11ege at
the University except as additiona1 entrance re-
quirements are hereinafter stated.

 

A11 new freshman and transfer students are required
to attend an Advising Conference as assigned at the
time of admissibn un1ess excused by permission of
the University Registrar in specia1 circumstances
and emergencies.

 

 

 

 

The University of Kentucky prefers that app1icants
for admission sha11 have taken the ACT examination.
App1icants may be considered for admission, however,
on the basis of Scho1astic Aptitude Test (SAT)
scores. The Director of Admissions sha11 estab1ish
annua11y an appropriate equiva1ency tab1e of tota1
SAT and ACT composite scores to be used with the
estab1ished 1ower division se1ective admissions cri-
teria. After approva1 by the Committee on Admis-
sions and Academic Standards, this tab1e sha11 be
used by the Admissions Office in judging the
acceptability of otherwise qua1ified app1icants.
(US: 4/8/85)

Background and Rationa1e:

On March 21, 1983, the University Senate approved the
University—wide se1ective admissions po1icy submitted by the
Senate's Admissions and Academic Standards Committee. In
subsequent codification of the re1evant admissions section of
the Senate Ru1es (Section IV, 2.0 and ff.), the provision for
requiring Adv1sing Conference attendance was inadvertent1y
de1eted. Since it was not the intention of the Admissions and
Academic Standards Committee to de1ete this provision, the
University Registrar has recommended that it be restored to
the Senate Ru1es and the Senate Counci1 concurs.

 

Imp1ementation Date: Immediate1y

The Chair recognized Professor Wi1bur Frye for the 1ast agenda item. Professor
Frye moved approva1 to waive the ten-day circu1ation ru1e. There was no objection
and the Chair so ordered. Professor Frye, on beha1f of the Senate Counci1, moved

 

 approval of the proposed change in University Senate Rules, Section III, 3.0 (i)
relative to removing courses from the University Bulletin. This proposed change
was circulated to members of the Senate under date of January 29, 1986. Professor
Frye said because Chairman Canon had been involved in the proposal and had some
strong feelings concerning the motion, he asked the Chairman to give the

rationale. Chairman Canon said when he became the Senate Council Chairman he had
been presented with a big list of courses that had not been taught within four or
more years. The Senate Rules provide that the Senate Council remove such courses
from the Bulletin unless the college asks for their retention. If retention is re-
quested, the Council then considers the request on its merits. Often the
explanations accompanying retention requests are something like a vague hope that a
new faculty member will come along and be able to teach the course sometime in the
future. Sometimes no explanation accompanies the retention request. This year
there were over 500 courses listed in the Bulletin that had not been taught in four
or more years and colleges asked that about 80 percent of them be retained. The
chairman counted 65 such courses that had not been taught in a decade. The Senate
Council believes the solution to this problem is to provide an automatic mechanism
for removal of courses if they have not been taught for four years, but to preserve
the existence of courses for another four years.

 

In the discussion that followed Professor Hans Gesund asked (1) how students
would know about the content of a course offered after it had been removed from the
Bulletin, and (2) when the new rule is implemented, would courses not taught for
more than four years have a lesser time for remaining in the course file and would
courses not taught for eight year be automatically purged? Professor Gesund also
proposed that instead of removing courses from the Bulletin, that courses not
taught in more than four years be asterisked. UniverSity Registrar, Randall Dahl,

said in reviewing the proposed rule change and examining the logistical diffi—
culties associated with implementation careful planning would be essential. He
said the Registrar's Office was in favor of this kind of policy which would save
about l5 pages from the Bulletin. He said in the procedures developed with an
appropriate Senate committee the Registrar's Office would be working very carefully
to coordinate published information in implementing the proposed change and would
need some flexibility to handle the logistics.

Professor Jesse Harris' reaction to the proposal was positive. His objection
to the proposed amendment was that if there were several hundred courses with
asterisks beside them, he did not feel it would look good in the catalog. He felt
eight years was also a reasonable length of time. Professor John Rea was bothered
because there was no notification procedure to a department or college. He wanted
some machinery whereby the Registrar's Office would notify the department when
courses were deleted from the catalog. This would provide the possibility of
appeal. The Chair had no objection to Professor Rea's suggestion, but he did not
feel this would have to be incorporated into the University Rules. Professor
Harris felt that a listing of the courses with their status and original catalog
descriptions should be sent to the departments at registration.

In answer to Professor Gesund's second question, Chairman Canon said that if
the proposal were adopted then next year all courses, no matter how far in the past
they had been taught, would be considered not having been taught in four years.
Courses would not be automatically purged that had not been taught in eight years.

 

 Professor Gesund moved an amendment to:

"Instead of removing courses from the catalog the Registrar
shall flag the course with a statement to the effect that
the course was last taught at a certain time.“

The motion was seconded by Professor James Hougland who said the Senate should
not only be concerned about the truth in advertising issue but also the issue of
nonadvertising. He felt having a description of courses during the eight-year
period would be providing a valid service. The University Registrar, Randall Dahl,
said since a number of procedures would need to be worked out to make the proposal
operational, he could support the spirit of the suggestion but wanted the
Registrar's Office to have some leeway in noting courses in jeopardy of being
dropped in order to deal with that in an efficient manner. He was not really sure
how the office would be able to implement the suggestion. He noted an alternative
might be to list those courses (by title only) that have not been taught for a
specified period of time at the end of the Bulletin.

PrOfessor McMahon said the College of Law did not use the descriptions that
were in the Bulletin. Each semester their Dean's Office distributes a pamphlet of
courses and descriptions that are being taught, and he felt this was more cost
efficient than keeping the information in the Bulletin. Professor Robert
Altenkirch said the College of Engineering circulated new course descriptions among
departments and had no problem in getting students to register for the course.
Professor Gesund said there was a problem in getting information to students out—
side the individual colleges. He felt the extra cost of printing additional pages
in the Bulletin was not that large. Professor Thomas Ingram felt the trade off of
supplying more information to the student versus a potential ambiguous situation
was not good. He felt students would want to know when the course would be
taught. He did not want to give outside students more ambiguous information than
they are already getting. He supported not printing a date when a course was last
offered because it was incomplete information. The previous question was moved,
seconded and passed. The Gesund Amendment to flag courses which have not been
taught for four or more years and keep the descriptions in the catalog failed with
a voice vote. The proposal to drop courses from the catalog after four years but
keep them in the University course file for an additional four years passed in a
voice vote and reads as follows:

Proposed change:

III 3.0 1. If a course has not been taught in the classroom,
by extension, or by correspondence within a four
year period, the Registrar shall remove the
description of the course from the University
Bulletin. A course so removed from the Bulletin
shall remain in the University course file for an
additional four years (unless the college requests
its removal). During the additional four year
period, the college may offer the course and, if
it is taught, the Registrar shall restore its des-
cription to the University Bulletin. If it is not
taught within the four year period, the course
shall be removed from the University course file.

 

 

 Rationale:

Currently, Senate Rule III - 3.0 (i) provides that all courses
not taught within the last four years be removed from the
University Bulletin unless the college teaching it gives an
adequate reason to the Senate Council for retaining it. Every
year we go through the following ritual: Colleges are sent a
list of all their courses not taught within four years; they
may allow some to be removed, but they ask that most be re—
tained. The reasons vary. Often it is simply a vague hope
that a faculty member hired in the future will be able to
teach the course. This year, there were over 500 courses
listed in the Bulletin that had not been taught in the last
four years and the colleges asked that nearly 80% of them be
retained.

The system clearly is not working. The Senate Council lacks
both the expertise and the time to decide upon these retention
requests. Moreover, the Senate Rules require that the Senate
Council consult with Graduate, Undergraduate or Medical Center
Councils as appropriate before making a purgation decision.
Consequently, the Senate Council has almost always simply
accepted the colleges' retention requests. As a result, there
are numerous courses on the books which have not been taught
for years. This year we counted 65 courses for which reten—
tion was requested which had not been taught in a decade.

The Senate Council believes there is a truth in advertising
problem here. We are saying in the Bulletin that we are
teaching a lot of courses which in fact we are not teaching,
with many of them not likely to be taught in the near future.
Moreover, the Visiting Committee Report of the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools in its l982 accreditation
review severely criticized the University of Kentucky for its
listing of large numbers of untaught courses.

The Senate Council believes the solution to this problem is to
(a) automatically remove courses from the Bulletin if they
have not been offered in the past four years, and (b) divide
courses into two categories, those listed in the Bulletin, and
those retained in the Registrar's file for an additional four
years after removal from the Bulletin, and (c) allow courses
taught during the second four year period to be automatically
reinserted in the Bulletin.

If this solution is adopted, the four year removal rule will
operate automatically and no longer be a "dead letter” because
of the difficulties of actually invoking it. The Bulletin
will once again reflect what is actually being taught at UK.
Courses removed from the Bulletin, however, will not
”disappear" and can be offered at will for another four

years. Thus colleges and departments will not have to fear
removal because they might hire someone in the near future who
can teach a course or that a sudden demand for it might

 

 develop among students. And if it is taught during that

period, the course wouid automaticaiiy reappear in the
Bu11etin.

Effective Date: Fa11, 1986.
