7) Graduate Student Council Information
-President, DeAnn Presley, announced that Fall Ice Cream Social will be Thursday, September 18th from
12:30-2:00 p.m. outside the east entrance of Fairchild Hall. All graduate students are encouraged to come.
-Last year the Student Governing Association (SGA) changed their funding policies. The Graduate Student
Council (GSC) in the past was given a budget, of which they spent most of their funds to sponsor travel for
graduate students (over $3,000). Those funds are no longer available to GSC. They have submitted a
proposal to SGA for $10,000 in hope of receiving funds needs to support graduate student travel.
8) Other business and discussion
- Jim Guikema reopened the discussion on degree programs to be dropped. Because the Graduate Council
did not act on the subject in May, the Provost did not forward this information to the Board of Regents. The
Provost would like to discontinue the masters program in microbiology (a doctoral program still exists) and the
doctoral program in educational psychology. The departments involved have agreed. In the discussion there
was no opposition voiced by the graduate council members present, therefore it will be recommended that the
Provost proceed. Currently there are no policies that involve the Graduate Council in discontinuing degree
programs. Ron Trewyn suggested that the Graduate Council look into adding such policy to the Graduate
Handbook.
- A U.S. Department of Homeland Security/ICE document with information regarding SEVIS was attached to
the agenda as a resource tool for members. Jim Guikema announced that K-State is now compliant and all
international students attending KSU are registered in the SEVIS database. Many thanks to the staff at the
International Student Center for their hard work this summer. National and state leaders are working to make
this process as friendly as possible for international visitors.
- A question on the Targeted Excellence e-mail message stimulated a discussion on interdisciplinary
proposals. The council discussed sponsoring an event (forum) for faculty to socialize and discuss ideas for
potential proposals.
9)
Announcements
- Ron Trewyn announced that the Graduate School will be looking into implementing an application fee for
both international and domestic students. Although there is opposition to this issue, the current budget cuts
have made it a necessity.
- ETS testing (for GRE, TOFEL, etc.) was reinstated in July.
8
- Status report on electronic theses and dissertations: The Graduate School is currently assembling a work
group that includes the library to implement this feature on campus.
