A called méeting of the Faculty Senate was held Tuesday, June 7, 1983, at 2:10
p.m. in Mendenhall Student Center, Room 244. Members absent were: Longhill,

Smith served as Parliamentarian. .

Agenda Item 24: The Chairman made the following announcements:

Chancellor Howell has approved Resolutions 83-20, +22, -23, -24, -29, passed
by the Faculty Senate on April 19. He has forwarded Resolution 83=21 (Unit
Code revisions) to the Advisory Committee on Unit Codes. He also approved
Resolution 83-30 through 34 concerning the Academic Integrity Policy.

Agenda Item 2B: The Chair noted that the ECU Code as approved by the Board of
Trustees at their May meeting was attached to the agenda for the faculty. She
stated that the revised Code approved by the Senate in the fall of 1981 had
not been approved by the Trustees, but the Trustees have amended the old code

incorporating some of the revisions.

In the fall, both the new Appendix L and the Academic Integrity Policy will
be distributed to the faculty for insertion in the Faculty Manual.

Agenda Item 3A: Charles Coble, Acting Dean of the School of Education,
presented the proposed Administrative Structure for Teacher Education for the
response to NCATE and SDPI accreditation. Professors Sowell and Chambliss
will co-chair the self-study commission. NCATE will make a return visit to
campus March 18-20, 1984. SDPI will visit later. In consultation with
officials in Washington, D.C. and Raleigh, it has been indicated that the
proposed changes are acceptable. Professor Coble expressed his appreciation
to the committees and persons who assisted in developing a structure
appropriate for ECU. Adler asked about how much control departments will
lose. The proposed structure is intended to allow the continued involvement
of the departments particularly since the strength in secondary education is
felt to be in the department structure. Professional educators feel cut off
from academic units and the new structure gets both together. Vice Chancellor
Volpe pointed out that the accreditation officials had not questioned the
quality of our programs. SDPI commented favorably about content and

professional preparation in departments.

Agenda Item 3B: Moses Sheppard, chairman of the Teacher Education Committee,

reported that the Teacher Education Committee had met May 25, 1983, to
consider the proposed structure and voted unanimously to endorse it.

Agenda Item 3C: Tom Johnson of the Educational Policies and Planning
Committee stated that the committee met May 26, 1983, to discuss the proposal.
Some changes were suggested and incorporated. The committee endorses the
proposal unanimously. Johnson commented that Chancellor Howell, Vice

Chancellor Volpe, and Dean Coble were present at all the meetings and that he

 
felt that this was an excellent example of shared governance or joint effort.

Agenda Item 3D: Robert Woodside, Committee on Committees, reported that the
committee had voted to endorse the basic structure and to recommend to the
Senate that the Teacher Education Committee be dissolved. This constituted
the first reading.

The Faculty Senate voted unanimously to endorse the Proposed Administrative
Structure for Teacher Education.

The meeting adjourned at 3:10 p.m.

Stella Daugherty,
Secretary of the Faculty
