Tempe Graduate Council
August 31, 2004
The Tempe Graduate Council met on August 31, 2004, at 2:30 p.m. in the Memorial Union, Mohave Room. Graduate College Associate Dean Filiz Ozel presided.
Also in attendance were Vice Provost and Dean of Graduate Studies Allison, Graduate College Deans Zatz and Lindquist; Academic Senate representative Mayer; Professors Barrett, Brooks, Christopher, Koonce, McCarthy, Savenye, Thompson, Villalobos, Zhou; and student member Hahn.
Dean Allison welcomed the members of the Council and explained the many changes occurring in the coordination and administration of graduate education at ASU, including the name change from the Graduate College to the Graduate College, the formation of a new Executive Council to advise the Dean, the coordination of graduate councils on all three campuses, and the changes to the mission and scope of the Tempe Council.
Dean Ozel welcomed the members of the Council and discussed changing the meeting time of the Council in order to accommodate some members' schedules.
The minutes for the May 4, 2004 Council meeting were approved.
Dean Ozel discussed the business of the Council, including highlights from the previous year and the summer, and issues for the coming year. Additionally, Dean Allison discussed the changes in the university approval process that reflect the multi-campus university model.
Professor Savenye introduced a proposal requesting implementation authorization for the Master of Legal Studies (MLS) degree in the College of Law. College of Law Associate Dean Noel Fidel was present to respond to questions, including the need and market for the program, the advising process for students in the program, the capstone experience for the program, course offerings outside of the College of Law that might apply to the proposed MLS degree, and the potential need for the program to accommodate part-time professional students. The Council suggested that the program consider admitting students on both a full-time and part-time basis. The proposal was recommended for approval.
Dean Ozel introduced a proposal to rename the Master of Environmental Planning degree to the Master of Urban and Environmental Planning in the School of Planning. The proposal was recommended for approval.
Dean Ozel discussed changes to the Council committee structure. Professors Barrett and McCarthy were selected as co-chairs of the Council Appeals Board.
The meeting adjourned at 4:30 p.m.
Respectfully submitted by Gabriel Goltz.
