President Saiff briefed about the arrangements for the Founders day on November 18, 2009. 1) Provost Council President Saiff mentioned about the Provost Council and informed that all seemed to be in favor of in load teaching for graduate courses. A discussion followed on what guidelines can be followed in order to ensure that graduate teaching does not affect teaching of undergraduate courses; one of suggestions was to impose limits on the number of graduate credits that may be taught in a year. 2) General Education President Saiff reported on the meeting with Provost Barnett and asked for feedback on General Education (GenEd). Councilor Lopez commented that it is important for the College to identify key problems with GenEd; for example, widely defined categories, difficult to measure objectives, etc. Councilor Spar pointed out that individual schools/divisions have conceptions of GenEd different from the colleges conception. The conflict needs to be resolved. Members further discussed why a number of full-time faculty members have not taught a GenEd course. Councilor Stellenwerf discussed the pros and cons of three versus four credits for achieving curriculum goals and how three-credit courses may be the only way for certain schools if there is any change to the minimum number of credits for graduation. Finally President Saiff said that further decisions on GenEd can be made based on outcomes of the discussion between ARC and Provost Barnett. 3) Faculty Assembly Meetings Councilor Risch pointed out the need for priority-based allotment of time to various items on the Faculty Assembly agenda. Important items should get more time on the agenda. 4) Enrollment Members discussed enrollment numbers for the coming year. The discussion considered the effect of reducing the Presidential scholars, introduction of Provost scholars and 鶹 scholars programs, and the connection between 鶹 image and the quality of students. The reduction of proportion of transfer students and having a large percentage of students having SAT scores between the students from scholar programs and students who are closer to the minimum required qualifications were considered important. 5) Bookstore President Saiff will invite the bookstore manager and Dean Mackin to the Executive Council next Wednesday. 6) Dinner Councilor Morley mentioned the topic for the upcoming talk in the dinner lecture series. The title of the talk is Contemplative Methods in Pedagogy. Members discussed the arrangements for the lecture. The discussion on representation of student members on faculty search committees was canceled and since Dorothy Echols Tobe could not come for the meeting. The Executive Council will meet next Wednesday March 4, 2009.
