Agenda items were APPROVED. REPORTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS PRESIDENT'S REPORT (Dr. Pettit) Good afternoon. I have only one topic to discuss with you today. As the academic year is drawing to a close, I want to bring you up to date on the status of efforts to perfect our sexual harassment policy in response to its having been challenged by SSHE attorneys. You may recall that we had been operating under a 1991 policy that many within the IUP community felt to be inadequate. Under the excellent leadership of Dr. Al Bouffard and Dr. Evelyn Mutchnick, a committee worked for more than a year to develop a new policy which we implemented on an interim basis in June, 1996. I announced at that time that we would give all interested parties until November 1 to comment, and that we would make any necessary modifications and implement the policy on a permanent basis on December 1. By October, some questions had begun to surface, and I extended the comment period. In November, the SSHE legal counsel assigned to IUP indicated that the policy required significant modification. Thus, at the December 11 APSCUF Meet and Discuss, I announced that the 1996 policy would remain "interim," and that I wanted a committee to review the policy and bring it into compliance with legal review. Apparently, not everyone shared my sense of urgency, and the process of assembling a committee ensued with more deliberation than speed. On March 4, we received an opinion from University legal counsel that the problems were sufficient to dictate that we place the 1996 policy in abeyance and revert to the 1991 policy on an interim basis. I complied, but with the expectation that our committee would by now be ready to empanel, and that they could work rather quickly in consultation with the attorneys to perfect the 1996 policy. I also invited Linda McClellan, our assigned attorney, to campus to meet with IUP constituency representatives in order that she might answer questions and explain the court decisions and administrative rulings that led her to question our policy. Linda is now working with our committee, which consists of Mr. William Addy, Dr. Al Bouffard, Dr. Kay Snyder, Dr. Bob Curey, Ms. Terry Rittenberger, and Ms. Marlene Joyce. As matters turned out, we must operate under the 1991 policy for a longer period than I had anticipated, but I have strong confidence in this committee's ability to quickly make the necessary adjustments that will enable us to implement the 1996 document. I deeply appreciate the patience of all within the IUP community during what seems to be a chaotic period with respect to this issue. The University's commitment, first of all, is to the prevention of sexual harassment, and that is what we must work together to achieve. Meanwhile, we are trying now to resolve the problems quickly and to implement a policy on which there is broad consensus. PROVOST'S REPORT (Dr. Staszkiewicz) No report. VICE CHAIRPERSON'S REPORT (Senator Devenport) Typed report was not received on time to be include in the minutes. It will be included in the future minutes upon receipt.

CURRENT PROGRAM Bachelor of Science--Communications Media Liberal Studies: As outlined in Liberal Studies 54-55 section with the following specifications: Natural Science: Laboratory sequence required (GS 101/102-103/104 recommended) Social Science: PC 101 Liberal Studies electives: CO 101, no courses with CM prefix College: 3 EP 202 Educational Psychology or EP 388 Interpersonal Effectiveness & Communication 3sh Major: 42 CM 101 Communications Media in American Society 3sh CM 102 Basic Technology 1sh CM 103 Basic Communications Research 1sh CM 200 Images 3sh CM 395 Career Planning in Communication 1sh Controlled electives: According to Track Product Development: CM 303 (required), CM 271, 440, 444, 449, 451 (strongly recommended), CM 390, 441, 445, 450, 472, 473, 474, 475, 476, 477, 478, 489, 490 (also recommended) 33sh Electronic Media: CM 403 (required, 404, 405, 451, 460, (strongly recommended), CM 230, 452, 454, 456, 480, 455, 390, 490 (also recommended) 36sh Training and Development: CM 330, 335 (required) Cm 271, 303, 403, 430, 435, 440, 449, 451 (strongly recommended), CM 390, 480, 490, 495 (also recommended) 36sh Other Requirements: 15-18 Out-of-College Requirement (adviser approval) by Track Product Development Track 18sh Electronic Media Track 15sh Training and Development Track 15sh Free Electives: 6-7 Total Degree Requirements: 124 Associated Changes 1. The elimination of the three tracks, collapsing the program into one major with electives selected by the studentsaccording to their career goals 2. The deletion of two one-credit courses CM 102, CM 103, currently listed as major requirements 3. The elimination of the 2.5 GPA requirement for a change of major within the university 4. Elimination of a specific Natural Science requirement 5. Notation of restrictions for Liberal Studies electives prohibiting Communications Media majors from taking CM courses as Liberal Studies Electives, also to include CM courses cross-listed with other departments. Rationale for Change a. Students majoring in Communications Media frequently want a broader academic experience that is provided for by the restrictions in the current three Tracks. This change will allow students to choose electives from a wider range of CM courses and tailor their program to meet their goals. b. CM 102 and 103 are one-credit courses that are obsolete, in their current form, and will likely be revised to include changes in technology in the Communications Media industry. The elimination of the two credits in the program will be accommodated by courses with variable credit, such as CM 390, Practicum in Communications Media, or CM 493 Internship in Communications Media. c. The department faculty has concurred that any student in good academic standing with the University should be allow to change majors and apply for a transfer into the department, eliminating the 2.5 GPA requirement. d. The current wording in the catalogue prohibits students from taking the 10 credit Natural Science option and as GS 101/102/103/104 is only recommended, this can be handled by academic advisers. e. As more courses are developed by multiple departments, the Communications Media Department wants to ensure that students do not take courses that are cross-listed with CM (such as BE/CM/CO/IM/LB 201) as Liberal Studies electives.

Note: The total number of required College and Major semester hours for this program as listed in the 1996-1997 Undergraduate Catalog is incorrect. The College requirements list 27sh; ED 442 School Law is 1sh and not 3sh as listed. The correct number of College semester hours is 29. The major requirements list 38sh. The correct number of required major semester hours is 39. The current catalog lists Total Degree Requirements as 127sh; however, with these corrections, the Total Degree Requirements should be 130. These errors have been noted by Kristin Berezansky, Registrars Office, and will be corrected in the 1997-1998 Undergraduate Catalog. 3. Rationale for Change EL 257 Pedagogy I (proposed number change, currently EL 257) Early Childhood Education majors and faculty who work with them have repeatedly experienced the need for EL 257 Pedagogy I to be included in the program. There has been no systematic presentation of models of teaching and classroom climate which are included in EL 257. This is evident when students are expected to write lesson and unit plans in their methods courses, ED 342 Pre-student Teaching II, and ED 441 Student Teaching. This program revision will not require any additional semester hours. EL 257 Pedagogy I will replace one free elective. EX 300 Education of Students with Disabilities in Inclusive Elementary Classrooms Early Childhood classrooms include students with disabilities and teachers need to know how to accommodate them. The Pennsylvania Department of Education is requiring the addition of a course which focuses on education of children with disabilities to maintain program certification. C. Program Revision from the Safety Sciences Department A. Rationale for Program Changes There are two major reasons for the proposed changes in the Safety Sciences B.S. Program: 1. In 1993, the responsibility for accrediting Safety Curricula was transferred from the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) to the Accreditation Board for Engineering & Technology (ABET). ABET changed the accrediting criteria in several areas including requirements for courses in environmental safety and ergonomics. The current Safety Sciences Curriculum does not require a course in environmental safety and ergonomics is an option, not required. 2. A second reason was the desire for the curriculum content to better reflect the current safety & health practices in the field. Surveys of our alumni indicated the need to add a course in environmental safety, to increase the coverage in ergonomics, human behavioral aspects of accident prevention, and risk management and to increase generally hands-on activities in the classroom. B. Resources Current resources within the department are sufficient to support the proposed program changes. Overall faculty teaching load will be increased because of the increase in the number of credits in the SA Major from 36 to 41. To accomplish this without adding faculty, the department will reduce the number of course offerings in SA 111, 211, 301, 311 and 303 from three to two per year and SA 101 Introduction to Occupational Safety & Health will be reduced from six offerings to four offerings per year. The reduced offerings will increase class sizes to an average of 35 students per class, well within department resources. The majority of the equipment necessary for the laboratory component of SA 211 Principles of Industrial Safety II already is in place in the safety laboratory classroom, 112 Johnson Hall. Current resources within the department are adequate to cover additional expenses required for the SA 211 and 412 Laboratories. C. Description of Curriculum Change 1. Catalog Description The department offers the Bachelor of Science degree in Safety Sciences with specialization in occupational safety and health. The program in Safety Sciences prepares the student for professional, administrative, managerial and supervisory positions in industry, manufacturing, insurance, transportation, utility, government, construction, trade service industries and others. There remains a need in Pennsylvania and the nation for university educated occupational safety and health professionals. The curriculum includes a major of 41 semester hours in Safety Sciences and an additional 15 semester hours in related professional courses. A variety of elective courses is available in both the major and professional fields that enables students to strengthen their primary interest areas.

GRADUATE COMMITTEE--CHAIRPERSON WILLIAMSON Chairperson Williamson presented Graduate Curriculum Business Log (see Appendix 1) for Senate information. The Senate APPROVED the following three Minor Program Revisions and associated New Courses: 1. Proposal for a Minor Program Revision: Adult and Community Education The Proposed minor program revision consists of two new courses and one course revision. Rationale: All three changes have as their basis the goal to create more flexibility in the Adult and Community Education (ACE) curriculum based on the wide diversity of students served by the department. A. New Course Proposals 1) AC 650 Current Topics in Adult and Community Education 3c-0l-3sh Explores current issues, trends, and topics in-depth in a workshop format. Topics will be selected by the faculty and announced in advance of the semester in which the course is to be offered. Topics may include issues in continuing higher education, volunteerism, adult career development, managing nonprofit organizations, group processes in adult education, and current issues in research. Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor. Rationale: Two factors provide the rationale for creating a current topics course in ACE. First, there are a wide variety of students in the ACE program with a wide variety of interests. In order to accommodate these interests, it would be desirable to offer a course on an occasional basis which addresses some of these interests in-depth. Second, the rapidly evolving research and theory base in adult and community education necessitates the offering of courses on an occasional basis to address new information not readily incorporated into traditional courses. 2) AC 699 Independent Study in Adult and Community Education 1-3c-0l-1-3sh Independent study of a topic pertinent to an individualþs program of study. Permission of advisor and department chairperson required. Rationale: There has not been an independent study course with the AC prefix. In the past, ACE students have been able to use CE 699 (Counselor Education) for independent study. With the reorganization of the department of Counseling, Adult Education, and Student Affairs into three separate departments, the creation of an independent study with the AC prefix is warranted. B. Change in Program Course Requirement FROM: AC 745, Practical Research in Adult and Community Education -- Non-thesis option course TO: AC 745, Practical Research in Adult and Community Education -- Required of all non-thesis majors and available to thesis majors as an elective course. Current Program AC 620 Introduction to Adult and Community Education 3sh AC 621 The Adult Learner 3sh AC 622 Program and Process Development in Adult and 3sh Community Education AC 623 Organization and Administration in Adult and 3sh Community Education AC 625 Facilitating Adult Learning 3sh AC 735 Seminar in Adult and Community Education 3sh AC 740 Internship in Adult and Community Education 6sh AC 745/AC 850 Practical Research or Thesis* 3sh GR 615 Elements of Research 3sh Electives 6sh TOTAL 36sh *AC 745 and a comprehensive examination are required for non-thesis option students.

Proposal for a Minor Program Revision: Masterþs in Business Administration, Executive Track The minor revision that is proposed in the Masterþs in Business Administration Executive Track involves the replacement of one management course (MG 630, Management Theory) with another management course (MG 632, Operations Management). Rationale: After an extensive review of Executive M.B.A. programs in the country, talking to professionals in the management area, and obtaining feedback from students in the program, it was determined that a course in operations management was extremely important and useful for todayþs managers. The management theory course was not offered in many schools and hence it was selected as a candidate to be replaced. A. New Course Proposal: MG 632 Operations Management 3c-0l-3sh Acquaints the student with a broad range of strategic, tactical, design, and operating (day-to-day) decisions within the operations function in both service providing and goods producing businesses. Emphasis will be on the new paradigm of operations management with focus on current technologies, concepts, philosophies, and managerial practices. Students will obtain a comprehensive insight on a wide variety of topics including management of quality, productivity, technology, and inventory, product and process design, facility location and layout, project management, service and manufacturing management.

Proposal for a Minor Program Revision: Administration and Leadership Studies Change is being sought in the courses currently listed under þCore Requirementsþ for the program. There is no change in the number of credits. Change is also being sought in five course prefixes so that the curriculum can be more easily identified with the respective track it represents. Human Services from to LP 701 HS 701 LP 702 HS 702 LP 703 HS 703 LP 798 HS 798 LP 950 HS 950 Education from to LP 701 no change LP 702 no change LP 703 no change LP 798 no change LP 950 no change Current Program A.

NON-CREDIT COMMITTEE--CHAIRPERSON NARDI No report. RESEARCH COMMITTEE--CHAIRPERSON NEUSIUS No report. STUDENT AFFAIRS COMMITTEE--CHAIRPERSON TRUMP No report. UNIVERSITY DEVELOPMENT & FINANCE COMMITTEE--CHAIRPERSON HECKROTH The Senate APPROVED the Capital Budget priority order as presented in Appendix 2. ACADEMIC COMMITTEE--CHAIRPERSON DUNTLEY Chairperson Duntley presented the following 2 items for Senate information: 1. There has been no movement on the revision of the Academic Integrity Policy. 2. Deliberations on nominations for Honorary Degrees for 1997-98 have been completed and will be presented to the President by May 1. The Senate APPROVED the following Exception to Pass/Fail Policy: 1. Exception to Pass/Fail Policy Background: A special need to have the option of Pass/Fail in a specific course, NT434 Clinical Nuclear Medicine - 16 credits, has been petitioned by the coordinator of this program. This block of credit comes from the affiliated agency as pass or fail, and without components to warrant the assigning of a specific grade. The agency does not provide this for any of the affiliated universities, and can not do this for IUP. The alternative of just assigning the grade is not appropriate. This is proposed as a single course exception since inquiry through Senate agendas for March and April brought no interest from any other department of need for such an exception through amendment of the basic policy. Motion: The Committee moves the following: A permanent exception to the Pass/Fail policy provision that prevents use of P/F for courses in the major is authorized to allow grading of the Findley-based NT434 on a pass/fail basis for majors. (Motion carries) Notation of this exception will be placed in the catalog with the course description for NT434 and in other department-produced information on the nuclear medicine program.
