Tempe Graduate Council
October 24, 2006
The Tempe Graduate Council met on Tuesday, October 24, 2006, at 2:30 p.m. in Interdisciplinary B building, Room 286. Graduate College (GC) Associate Dean Filiz Ozel presided.
Also in attendance were University Vice Provost and Dean of Graduate Studies Allison; Professors Barrett, Diaz, Koonce, Newman, Savenye, Thompson, Tsui; and student member Aubin.
Excused: Graduate College Deans Dickson, Lindquist and Webber
Dean Ozel welcomed the members to the third Graduate Council meeting of this academic year. She went on to explain that because there was only one proposal before Council this month the standard group system was not utilized and everyone was asked to submit proposal questions to Assistant Dean Dickson.
The minutes for the September 26, 2006 meeting were approved.
Dean Ozel introduced the proposal to establish a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in Media Arts and Sciences (MAS) in collaboration with the Herberger College of the Arts and the Fulton School of Engineering through the Art, Media and Engineering (AME) program. Prior to the meeting, questions received from Graduate Council members regarding this proposal were forwarded to the academic unit, and the responses of the unit were incorporated into the proposal. There were additional questions from the council members including clarification of dissertation committees, academic progress standards, the AME course list, and projected degrees awarded annually. The proposal to establish a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Media Arts and Sciences (MAS) received recommendation for approval pending minor revisions.
University Vice Provost and Dean Allison, along with Dean Ozel led a discussion concerning maximum time limits for students pursuing doctoral degree programs. The discussion focused primarily on the need for an institutional policy that addresses the amount of time a student has to complete doctoral degree program requirements. Currently, the Graduate College enforces a policy that provides a maximum of five years to complete any remaining doctoral requirements beyond candidacy. Dean Ozel shared information from the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) listserv that suggest many universities utilize a policy that addresses the total number of years that a student has to complete all doctoral degree requirements. University Vice Provost and Dean Allison asked Council members to discuss this subject further with their academic units to gauge their thoughts concerning doctoral degree time limit requirements for possible follow-up as an agenda item in the near future.
The meeting was adjourned at 3:20 p.m.
