Next week the Council will discuss the Graduate School’s self- study and come up with
recommendations to be included in the document for consideration by the Provost. The
concerns regarding appropriate FTE and academic leadership for programs housed within
the Graduate School should be clear. Members should also view the University’s
graduate education goals in the Strategic Plan. With the exception of Physical Therapy
enrollment in graduate programs has declined.
