Council had a role in the establishment of the University College back in the 1960s and will now be a part of the process to dismantle it. Garland will also talk about enrollment management in some of the units and how it will affect the students. Council will need to start addressing this issue in the future. The Faculty Council met last week and discussed the status of clinical faculty and the requests from The Colleges of Law and Business to establish clinical faculties. The discussion had been whether to address requests individually or to establish a new faculty category.
Plans are to discuss the concept of clinical faculty and the governance process at a future meeting.
Peter Zetterberg, Project Director of the Semester Conversion Project, University of Minnesota, will be on campus March 8 to hold various meetings and discuss the conversion process. The Council of Academic Affairs will submit its Annual Activities Report to the University Senate at the end of March. Council members were asked to look over the report for 2000-2001 and make any suggestions for revision. In providing background, Garland said for a number of years students had entered through University College. Over the years advising at University College came to be seen as less than helpful.
