Deans’ Meeting Agenda
April 7, 2015
1 – 3 pm – Crying Wolf Room
AGENDA ITEMS
1.
Institutional Research update
Doug Olney
Doug shared numbers about students, declared majors, number of credits completed within the
major and how that correlates with time to degree. Data combined from three years. Indicates
there is a correlation between the size of the major and time to degree. Discussion on how to
decrease time to degree and factors that influence students’ decision to take additional credits as
part of degree completion.
2.
Student of Concern Protocol/Policy
Jim
Continued conversation about protocol for addressing concerns with student behavior that may
be perceived as threatening. Need for point person/case worker to close the loop in these
cases? Requested suggestions for adding additional steps to the policy.
3.
New HLC requirement
Martin
What is the impact to the University of this proposed requirement? i.e. Elimination of grad
programs, problems with grad ed programs. We will be forwarding concerns to MnSCU to bring
forward to HLC.
4.
Transfer Equivalencies
Attachment 1
Patrick
Suggested changes to form that would make course equivalencies standard in DARS unless
there is rationale to not change this to a permanent equivalent. Will go to meet and confer as an
informational item.
5.
Summer Monies – Who gets what?
Jim
Profits from 14 summer may be available now, if needed for bottom dollars.
6.
Other
Update on grievances.
