CIM Proposals
-
Toxicology Graduate Certificate, Key #786 – New Graduate Certificate
-
Provided a well written budget narrative and detailed spreadsheet
-
Reoccurring budgets – existing tenure track faculty to teach initially – will they be back filling those instructors’ roles in Years 3 and 4 of the program or in the event of high enrollments?
-
Faculty with research appointments will be redirecting efforts to teaching in the new Graduate Certificate.
-
Position Description adjustments are being made to allow for more teaching from research faculty
-
Additional detail is needed regarding the difference in appointment between the two faculty (one who is 9 months and one who is 12 months).
-
How can we reconcile the text and the table? One instructor appears to have more support than the other because of the 9-month relative to the 12-month appointment.
-
Suggest they write a short description explaining how faculty will be redirecting their efforts and how this will affect classes that are already being taught in face-to-face modality
-
These appear to be existing courses and they are adding Ecampus as a modality to draw in a larger pool of students.
Action: Motion from Jeff Luck to send back to the originator with two questions – requesting clarification of resource allocation relative to FTE and requesting clarification on how are they going to handle instructional year in 3-4 years after student load has grown; seconded. Motion passed with 6 votes in favor, 0 votes against and 1 vote in abstention.
