Associate Dean’s Academic Council Meeting
Lynn Kelly - Vice Chair of Faculty Senate in Attendance
Summary Report:
ADAC meeting of November 13rd and November 27rd.
By special invitation I attended ADAC’s “Associate Deans Only” meeting, this consists of the
Associate Deans and branch campus’s representatives. They were reviewing the new program
proposal from the College of Extended Learning’s Creative Media Institute, A Bachelor in
Creative Media. The Associate Deans and I brought up issues which need to be addressed before
the program can move on. For example since the College of Extended Learning is not an
“academic” college there are no provisions for programs residing there and no provisions for
faculty who would teach there, no P&T committee. The Creative Media Institute representatives
returned to the November 27 meeting and are continuing to find answers to the issues. The
faculty senate can expect to review this new program in the spring.
Mike Zimmerman attended the November 27 “Extended Group” meeting to answer the
Associate Deans questions concerning Banner, many of which I’m sure originated from faculty.
Many complaints were focused on the “view” ability of the course schedules. No resolution to
this problem as of yet.
Another new program from The College of Engineering was introduced at the Extended Group
meeting; Information Engineering Technology. The Associate Deans requested more time to
review the new program. They will take another look at it during the December 11th meeting
and the senate will probably review it in the spring.
