Mark Farris reported that the legislature is considering a standardized test for all college graduates. This would be similar in philosophy to TAAS testing. Many academic disciplines already utilize standardized tests from external organizations. Mark Farris requested that if your discipline utilizes external standardized tests to send him that information. The first draft the minutes will be sent to Senators via e-mail within one week of the senate meeting.
Senators have one week to respond via e-mail with either corrections or acceptance of the minutes.
The Secretary will send the approved minutes to the general faculty before the next meeting of the senate. The motion passed. The next meeting of the MSU Faculty Senate will be on November 16, 2000.
