The UAF Faculty Senate passed the following at its Meeting #26 on 
April 15, 1991:


MOTION PASSED (unanimous approval)
==============

The UAF Faculty Senate moves to adopt the following policy on 500-
level courses:


	All 500-level courses offered at UAF will be designated as 
	POST BACCALAUREATE professional development courses. 
	(PJO'R)

	500-level courses are intended as post-baccaulaurate 
	experiences for professionals who desire to continue their 
	educational experiences at a level distinct from graduate level 
	education.

	500-level special topics and independent study courses 
	designated 593, 595, or 597 shall not apply toward any degree, 
	certification or credential program.  Responsibility for 
	curricular review of these courses rests with the college or 
	school offering such courses.

	Other 500-level numbered courses which are to be applied to 
	degree, certification or credential programs must follow 
	current university academic review procedures which will 
	include a review by the Senate Curricular Affairs Committee.

	For purposes of tuition and fee assessment, professional 
	development courses will be charged at a rate equal to or 
	higher than graduate course tuition.


	RATIONALE: 	This motion clarifies the definition and use 
		of 500-level courses.



Signed:  John Leipzig, President, UAF Faculty Senate    Date:  4/15/91

Approved with Modifications Indicated:  Patrick J. O'Rourke, Chancellor  
	Date:  5/8/91

*Addition is to assure clarification that professional 
development courses are postbaccalaureate.  Pat O'Rourke

The UAF Faculty Senate passed the following at its Meeting #26 on 
April 15, 1991:


MOTION PASSED WITH AMENDMENTS (unanimous approval)
================================

The UAF Faculty Senate approves the attached transfer guidelines 
for students transferring to UAF beginning Fall 1991.

	RATIONALE:	These guidelines reflect changes agreed to by 
		the original core committees, by the core review 
		committee and by the curricular affairs committee based 
		on examination of course selections by past transfer 
		students, especially from other MAUs in the UA system.



Signed:  John Leipzig, President, UAF Faculty Senate    Date:  4/15/91

Approved:  Patrick J. O'Rourke, Chancellor  	Date:  5/6/91

*I found it necessary to make two modification to this policy in 
order to better facilitate students and to extend a higher level of 
good faith to other ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥n institutions within the UA system.  
Although we have a carefully crafted set of requirements for 
students who do their work at this University, we better aid 
students and encourage them when we extend some latitude to 
them when they have taken courses which fulfilled the general 
education requirements at another institution.  Although they may 
not exactly match our requirements, we should assume that they 
have learned similar, albeit alternative knowledge.

MOTION PASSED (unanimous approval)
==============

The UAF Faculty Senate moves to request that the current UAF 
Faculty Senate President, Ray Highsmith, be added to the Financial 
Flexibility Task Force.

-------------------------------------------------------------

The UAF Faculty Senate passed the following at its Meeting #26 on 
April 15, 1991:


MOTION PASSED (unanimous approval)
==============

The UAF Faculty Senate recommends that the Quality Review of 
Academic programs be required to occur during the year in which 
those programs normally undergo professional external 
accreditation review.  The Senate further requests the Chancellor to 
forward this recommendation to the President.


	RATIONALE:	The current Quality Review proposal does not 
		require the coordination of Quality Program external 
		review with existing professional external review.  The 
		current document does indicate that it is preferable for 
		coordination to occur.  Given the expense in terms of 
		faculty time and institutional dollars, such a 
		coordination should be mandatory.  To ask programs to go 
		through multiple external reviews in a short span of time 
		is not the most efficient or effective use of faculty time 
		and institutional resources.

Approved:  Pat O'Rourke, Chancellor   		Date:  4/17/91
