The 蜜桃影像 Faculty Senate passed the following at its Meeting #26 on
April 15, 1991:
MOTION PASSED (unanimous approval)
==============
The 蜜桃影像 Faculty Senate moves to adopt the following policy on 500-
level courses:
All 500-level courses offered at 蜜桃影像 will be designated as
POST BACCALAUREATE professional development courses.
(PJO'R)
500-level courses are intended as post-baccaulaurate
experiences for professionals who desire to continue their
educational experiences at a level distinct from graduate level
education.
500-level special topics and independent study courses
designated 593, 595, or 597 shall not apply toward any degree,
certification or credential program. Responsibility for
curricular review of these courses rests with the college or
school offering such courses.
Other 500-level numbered courses which are to be applied to
degree, certification or credential programs must follow
current university academic review procedures which will
include a review by the Senate Curricular Affairs Committee.
For purposes of tuition and fee assessment, professional
development courses will be charged at a rate equal to or
higher than graduate course tuition.
RATIONALE: This motion clarifies the definition and use
of 500-level courses.
Signed: John Leipzig, President, 蜜桃影像 Faculty Senate Date: 4/15/91
Approved with Modifications Indicated: Patrick J. O'Rourke, Chancellor
Date: 5/8/91
*Addition is to assure clarification that professional
development courses are postbaccalaureate. Pat O'Rourke

The 蜜桃影像 Faculty Senate passed the following at its Meeting #26 on
April 15, 1991:
MOTION PASSED WITH AMENDMENTS (unanimous approval)
================================
The 蜜桃影像 Faculty Senate approves the attached transfer guidelines
for students transferring to 蜜桃影像 beginning Fall 1991.
RATIONALE: These guidelines reflect changes agreed to by
the original core committees, by the core review
committee and by the curricular affairs committee based
on examination of course selections by past transfer
students, especially from other MAUs in the UA system.
Signed: John Leipzig, President, 蜜桃影像 Faculty Senate Date: 4/15/91
Approved: Patrick J. O'Rourke, Chancellor Date: 5/6/91
*I found it necessary to make two modification to this policy in
order to better facilitate students and to extend a higher level of
good faith to other 蜜桃影像n institutions within the UA system.
Although we have a carefully crafted set of requirements for
students who do their work at this University, we better aid
students and encourage them when we extend some latitude to
them when they have taken courses which fulfilled the general
education requirements at another institution. Although they may
not exactly match our requirements, we should assume that they
have learned similar, albeit alternative knowledge.

The 蜜桃影像 Faculty Senate passed the following at its Meeting #26 on
April 15, 1991:
MOTION PASSED (unanimous approval)
==============
The 蜜桃影像 Faculty Senate recommends that the Quality Review of
Academic programs be required to occur during the year in which
those programs normally undergo professional external
accreditation review. The Senate further requests the Chancellor to
forward this recommendation to the President.
RATIONALE: The current Quality Review proposal does not
require the coordination of Quality Program external
review with existing professional external review. The
current document does indicate that it is preferable for
coordination to occur. Given the expense in terms of
faculty time and institutional dollars, such a
coordination should be mandatory. To ask programs to go
through multiple external reviews in a short span of time
is not the most efficient or effective use of faculty time
and institutional resources.
