Hoagland asked can we explore having a University College without transferring FTEFs and support departments carrying a general education load. Joyce added that economics, humanities, social sciences and fine arts would not want to give up credit hours. Bowen added that no one is calculating credit hours right now. Bowen spoke of the Graduate School model. Graduate faculty have appointments in the Graduate School means zip.
Credit attaches to faculty which goes to the faculty members' departments.
Snyder pointed out that it is to department advantage to transfer out half-time graduate teaching loads. Discussion of different models followed. Joyce liked the model that every faculty member has a home department and their productivity is connected to that department. George and Hoagland added that faculty need to know who they work for but this does not mean it cannot be done. George pointed out that Minnesota Graduate School has a Cultural Studies program, which has no faculty of its own.
