The UAF Faculty Senate passed the following at its Meeting # 82 on
October 12, 1998:
MOTION PASSED (2 nays)
==============
The UAF Faculty Senate moves to delegate the authority to approve
exceptions to academic policy (petitions) as follows:
1. For matters involving the CORE CURRICULUM: Faculty
advisor, head of the department in the curricular area
involved, through the Graduation Office to the chair of
the Core Review Committee. An appeal of the chair's
decision will be referred to the Provost for resolution.
2. For matters involving the MAJOR OR MINOR DEGREE
REQUIREMENTS: Faculty advisor, department head in the
major or minor area, to the Graduation Office. An
appeal of this decision will be referred to the Dean in
the major or minor area for resolution.
3. For OTHER matters: Faculty advisor, dean/director of
the college/school of the student's major (who will
consult with the appropriate department head(s)) to the
Graduation Office. An appeal of this decision will be
referred to the Provost for resolution.
By the end of September, the Registrar's Office will
supply the Curricular Affairs Committee with a brief
summary of petition actions taken during the previous
academic year.
EFFECTIVE: Spring 1999
RATIONALE: The current petition process is too
cumbersome and involves too many parties. Current
policy also lacks any point of reference in the petition
process. The proposed motion will simplify the process
by reducing the number of parties, and by establishing a
point of reference in the Graduation Office. The
proposal provides academic quality assurance.
