Description
Among other items discussed are James Sledd’s questions about E 346K. Question 1: If the number of E346K sections to be offered will be no greater than the number of lower-division courses that the English department offered in the past, why can’t English staff E 346K? (2) Does the English Department’s poor management of E346K support Kinneavy’s claim that the department is dismantling the writing program? (3) What legislation cancelled the state authorized assurance that transfer credit would be allowed for E 346K? (4) Knowing the problems that the English Department was having with E 346K, did upper administration decide to not do anything because they didn’t want to spend money to support the writing program?
President Flawn answered “no” to the last question. The decision to postpone E 346K was made on academic grounds, and he hopes to see the course implemented in the fall.
Attached is a report of the faculty senate committee on the status and role of the lecturer which ends with two motions, both passed at the last Faculty Senate meeting: Motion 1. Deans should do their best to ensure that classes be taught by tenure-line faculty, not lecturers. Motion 2. All departments should develop a policy on lecturers to clarify their position. A sample policy is included.
