����������������������� ��� University Faculty Senator�s report to the
����������������������������������������������������������� Feb
13, 2007
I wanted to let you know that the Chancellor has been
working well with the
generated for faculty on our campuses to serve on
The committee I�m on (Undergraduate) has, as its major focus
this year, the preparation of a guide for internships system-wide.� I have given the draft to John Shirley for
his comments.� If anyone else would like
to read and comment on the draft � I�d be happy to send you a copy.� The table of contents (showing its scope)
will be attached to my report
For this meeting��
(mention some of the major points).
One thing which this effort brought to our attention is that
the formula for �seat time� (or
whatever you wish to call it) is being modified by distance
learning, internships, etc.� We
are following a very old memorandum of understanding (early
1970�s) to get the �credit hour to contact hour� formula.� We even discovered that the memo quotes the
�Carnegie unit�..which the Carnegie website totally disavows (says it was never
developed for use in colleges!)� I
believe our committee will work with Provost Palm to come up with some updated
formula� which makes sense in today�s
world.
