Members absent were: Hartley, Allen, Haskins, Briley, O'Brien, Yeager, and ex officio Laupus and Warner. Alternates present were: Steele for Hancock and Steelman for Wease. Agenda Item 2: The minutes of March 15, 1983, were approved with the correction that O'Brien was present. Agenda Item 3A: Chairman Ayers made the following announcements: 1. Floor privileges have been extended to Professor Gene Ryan, Jim Mallory, Michael Swaim, Hannah Lewis, and Dave Stevens. 2. The Senate received a letter from the Chancellor approving Resolutions 83- 11, 83-12, 83-13, 83-17, 83-18. Resolution 83-15 has been delayed until the Chancellor's Advisory Committee on Codes has reviewed the code revisions. The Chancellor has approved the Code of the Philosophy Department with revisions. A copy is in the Senate office. In accordance with Resolution 83-14, the following persons have been appointed to serve on the ad hoc committee to discuss the issue of awarding second undergraduate degrees with distinction. Wilbur Castellow (Psychology), chair, Stella Daugherty (Math), John Longhill (Business), Louise Sammons (Nursing), and Peggy Wood (Allied Health). Questions have been raised concerning the effective date of Professional Studies for Secondary Education approved by the Senate in March. The document prepared by the ad hoc Committee includes (on page 2) the following statement: "The requirements in this program are to be met by all secondary and designated K-12 teacher education majors who are accepted to the upper Division of Teacher Education after passage by the Faculty Senate." Students entering the upper division of Teacher Education beginning the summer of 1983 will be affected by the provisions of the document. Although students presently admitted to the uppre division of Teacher Education are not required to meet the new program, they may elect to follow this curriculum. You may also wish to encourage students who have elective hours to include special education and reading courses in their program. This would be particularly desirable for students who intend at some future date to pursue graduate work since State Department of Public Instruction guidelines require competencies in these areas for graduate programs as well. 5. Graduation exercises will be held in Ficklen Stadium. —— enda Item 3B: Caroline Ayers presented the report of the Faculty Assembly. See attached.) Agenda Item Ag There was no unfinished business.

Agenda Item 5E: Tom Johnson, Chair of Educational Policies and Planning Committee, presented the recommended changes in Academic Integrity Policy. Chairman Ayers read a letter from the SGA which indicated the approval of the SGA by consent. Henry Little and Michael Swaim were students on the committee which developed the document. It was stated that the Academic Integrity Board was only for academic violations. The Honor Board will still hear other violations. Due process must be followed. Academic and probationary records are kept separate and after four years probationary records are destroyed. It was questioned whether anyone other than the professor can give a grade. In the process of appeal it would be possible for a court to change a grade. Also, a grade due to a violation becomes a disciplinary matter. Adler moved to add to III.C.5a the statement "and withdraw the student passing from the course if such action is requested by either the faculty member or the student." Hough seconded. The motion failed. Adler then moved to add to III.C.5.c, "providing the faculty member agrees to it." Hough seconded.

Daugherty Secretary ttachment for Agenda Item 3B: The 44th meeting of the Faculty Assembly of the University of North Carolina was held at the offices of the General Administration in Chapel Hill on April 15, 1983. ECU delegates Caroline Ayers, Rosalie Haritun, Larry Hough, and James LeRoy Smith attended. At the first plenary session President Friday and his staff addressed the Assembly. Vice President Joyner indicated that the subcommittees on the budget have finished the first phase of their deliberations and the educational subcommittee is expected to report next week. In a radical departure from previous years, the subcommittee is presenting a sharp request not to enact the 3% reductions which they were asked to identify in their report. They will ask that new revenue sources be sought to fund the continuation budget for the University. Lifting the salary freeze seems to be an acceptable proposition. It appears certain tuition increases (both in- state and out-of-state) will be enacted. It is not anticipated that action on the budget will come, however, before late June. Several other legislative matters of interest to the University were discussed by Vice President Joyner, R.D. McMillan and Vice President Dawson. Among these was the bill before both houses to amend portions of the law which requires retirement at age 70. There had been a temporary exemption (until 1998) for EPA personnel added to the bill; but after the exemption was extended to include public school teachers, this amendment was defeated. The bill currently before the legislature does not include an exemption for EPA @
