The Tempe Graduate Council met on Tuesday, October 25, 2005, at 2:30 p.m. in Administration B building, Room 286. Graduate College Associate Dean Filiz Ozel presided.
Also in attendance were Graduate College Deans Webber and Lindquist; Professors Barrett, Brooks, Christopher, McCarthy, Savenye, Thompson, and Zhou; and student member Meegan.
Excused: Graduate College Dean Dickson; Professors Demaine, Diaz, and Koonce.

Professor Savenye and Dean Lindquist introduced a proposal for a joint Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Science in Engineering/Master of Science program in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. Professor Sen was present from the proposing unit to respond to questions including projected enrollment, the admissions process for the program, satisfactory academic progress guidelines, and the process for "stopping out" of the program and the potential for such students to resume the program. The proposal was recommended for approval pending minor revisions.
Professor Barrettt and Dean Weber introduced a proposal for a graduate certificate in Bioethics, Policy, and Law in the School of Life Sciences. Professors McGregor, Maienschein, and Laubichler were present from the proposing unit to respond to questions including participation of other units in the program, the admission process and guidelines, and the sharing of hours between the certificate and other degree programs at ASU. The proposal was recommended for approval pending minor revisions.
Professors Thompson and Webber introduced proposals for concentrations in Biology and Society under the M.S. and Ph.D. in Biology, in the School of Life Sciences. Professors Maienschein, Laubichler, and McGregor were present from the proposing unit to respond to questions including the justification and market for the proposed concentrations, the relationship of the proposed concentrations to the existing Biology graduate degree program, the clarification of the curricular requirements for the proposed concentrations for the MS and the Ph.D. on the sample programs of study for each of the proposed tracks. The proposal was recommended for approval pending minor revisions.
The meeting was adjourned at 4:55 p.m.
Respectfully submitted by
Gabriel Goltz.
