The Chair recognized Professor Emeritus Thomas Ford to read a Memorial
Resolution honoring Professor Emeritus A. Lee Coleman from the Department of
Sociology.

Memorial Resolution
A. Lee Coleman
1913—1995

The death of A. Lee Coleman at age 82 on June 18, 1995, brought to a close a
long and productive career. A native of Devereux, Georgia, Lee was educated
in the public schools of Devereux and Atlanta and was a graduate of Emory
University. He earned a master's degree in sociology from the University of
North Carolina in 1940 and a Ph.D. in rural sociology from Cornell in 1950.

Prior to entering graduate school at Cornell, Lee held research posts with
the Governmental Research Institute in St. Louis, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, and the Farm Population and Rural Life Branch of the Department
of Agriculture. During the years 1942—45, he served in the United States
Army as a member of the War Department's Morale Services Research Branch
(later Information and Education), whose studies form the basis for THE
AMERICAN SOLDIER volumes.

Following completion of his doctorate, Lee joined the Department of Rural
Sociology at the University of Kentucky. There he conducted ground—breaking
research on the diffusion of new agricultural technology and pursued
long—standing interests in race and ethnic relations, American values and
career aspirations of youth. Most of his numerous research publications
were in the form of journal articles and experiment station bulletins.

 Page 2 of 7

In 1959 he was appointed head of the Departments of Sociology and Rural
Sociology, a position he held until 1966. During this period he also served
as Director of Social Research Service and the Bureau of Community Service
in the Department of Sociology. He was an active member of Phi Beta Kappa
and served as President of the University of Kentucky Chapter.

Lee Coleman's service activities, especially those concerned with civil
rights, extended well beyond the confines of departments and the University
of Kentucky. He served at various times as a consultant to the Kentucky
Commission on Human Rights, the Kentucky Human Relations Council, the
Southern Regional Council, the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department
of Justice, and the National Conference of Christians and Jews. In other
,areas, he contributed services to the National Science Foundation and the
Agricultural Development Council.

Lee was also active in a variety of professional organizations. He served
as President of the Southern Sociological Society in 1966—67 and was a
member of numerous SSS committees. Following his retirement, he held the
position of SSS archivist for a period of 17 years. A staunch member of the
Rural Sociological Society, he served as Managing Editor of Rural Sociology
from 1951 through 1958 and as President in 1964-65. In 1988 he was awarded
the title of Distinguished Rural Sociologist, the highest honor of the RSS.
He also held a number of appointments in the American Sociological
Association, including membership on the committee charged with developing
the ASA code of professional ethics.

Because of his innate modesty, many of the kind and considerate actions that
Lee took in behalf of others were known only by a circle of close friends
that he and his devoted wife, Alberta Nelson Coleman, had acquired over more
than half a century of married life. In addition to Alberta, Lee is
survived by two daughters, Nancy Coleman of Brumunddal, Norway, and Martha
Staff, who lives in Hawaii, four grandchildren and a brother, Kenneth
Coleman, Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Georgia, who
resides in Athens, Georgia.

Professor Ford requested the resolution be made a part of the
minutes and a copy be sent to Professor Coleman's family.

Chairperson LaGodna asked the Senate to rise for a moment of silence.
The Chair made the following announcements:

Welcome to the guests to the Senate meeting, visitors from Khon Kaen
University in Thailand.

There is a new listserve known as "FACGOV", Faculty Government. It is up
and available for discussion. This will act as a sounding board and a place
where there can be debate, discussion, and dialogue about academic
issues outside of the Senate meetings. Look on View for directions on how
to subscribe and encourage your non—senator colleagues to subscribe as well.
There will be some issues there in the next week.

Following the last Senate Meeting and Tom Blues' motion that the Plus/Minus
proposal be sent back to the Council, the discussion of the Senate, as well
as other data, has been reviewed. The decision of the Council was to
ascertain whether or not there is wide spread support for a University wide
policy by asking the College Faculty Councils and the appropriate student
groups to respond to a question as to what level of support they find in
their own colleges for a University wide plus/minus policy. We have asked

gopher://ukcc.uky.edu/Otext%20AUTOVIEW! 191/199601 12.SENATE 1 1/5/2001

 

 Page 3 of 7

that they respond to the Senate Council by
February 1, 1996. There will be letters sent to each Council indicating the
request.

There have been written guidelines sent out to all the Senate Committee
Chairs to provide guidelines for committee procedures and processes as well
as compliance with the Open Meetings Law and Archives and Public Records Law.

Within the University Bulletin, on page 47 there is a section called
"Removal from Probation” that is still written in quality point language,
despite the rules change to GPA language only. In order to prevent
confusion on that point, we would ask you to refer to the Senate Rules in
that area. It is correctly codified in the rules.

The Ad Hoc Retirement Committee‘s report is going to be discussed at the
December 11, 1995 Senate meeting. I would urge you to come with some
thoughts, questions, and suggestions about that. The report will be
distributed to the Senate members.

On Tuesday, December 12, 1995, the traditional Senate/Board of Trustees
Social will be held in the Alumni House from 4:00 — 6:00 p.m.

There are two new members on the Senate Council as a result of the
partially finished election, they are Tom Blues and Dan Fulks. Professor
Blues and Fulks were given a round of applause. There will be a third new
Senate Council member when the election is finished.

The Senate Council will be taking a "Hard Hat Tour“ of the new library
later this week and will be giving a report of that. Later in the Spring,
Paul Willis will be talking with the Senate on the update of the library
progress.

Professor Jesse Weil (Physics) asked if the straw poll on plus/minus
grading was going to be generic or specific? Professor LaGodna replied it
would be a specific request. .There would be a specific proposal and they
would ask for a response. The suggestions from the Senate meeting would be
included, one of which was the inclusion of an A+ category because that
seemed to affect GPAs for students in higher ranges. The Senate Council
is asking for suggestions because they could not suggest a University wide
policy with so little input.

The Chair then introduced Dr. Louis Swift to give an overview of
developments in undergraduate education at the University of Kentucky.

Professor Louis Swift, Dean of Undergraduate Studies, presented a report on
recent initiatives in undergraduate education at the University of Kentucky.
The report, which he had made to the Board of Trustees earlier in the
semester, included items such as the changes in the Summer Advising
Conferences, the development of the Central Advising Service and Transfer
Center, the expansion of the Honors Program, the Mini Colleges in Arts and
Sciences, the new initiatives in science and mathematics instructions in
Arts and Sciences, the Chancellor's Awards for Outstanding Teaching, the
Undergraduate Research Awards, the expansion of UK 101 (together with a new
orientation course for transfer students), the efforts to increase the
number of full—time faculty in lower division courses, and the General
Education Transfer Policy for all public institutions of higher learning
in the Commonwealth.

A short period for questions and answers followed the presentation.

g0pher://ukcc.uky.edu/Otext%2OAUTOVIEW! 191/199601 12.SENATE 1 1/ 5/2001

 

 Chairperson LaGodna thanked Dr. Swift.

The Chair then introduced Professor Horst Schach, to give the traditional
Ombud report. Professor Schach was the academic ombud for two years.
Professor's Schach's formal report is attached to the October 1995
Minutes.

Chairperson LaGodna then recognized Chair—elect of the Senate Council
Professor Jan Schach to introduce the action item. Professor Schach stated
the proposal came from the College of Pharmacy as related to divisions in
their academic rules. It focuses on the Academic Performance Committee
which was charged with monitoring student's progress through their
curriculum. It is based on course grades as well as written comments on the
students' performance. The committee is composed of course directors, lab
instructors, and a standing core of faculty. The committee will recommend
action appropriate to a particular student. Promotion in course work is
not automatic but is based on the recommendation of the Academic Performance
Committee. The APC will rely heavily on a series of guidelines. There is
also a series of rules and behavioral regulations. Students dismissed
from Pharmacy will be able to appeal through the APC. There are also a
series of special considerations to make it clear to the students what will
be entailed in their coursework. The proposal has received approval by the
Academic Council for the Medical Center, The Admissions and Academic
Standards Committee, as well as the Senate Council. The Senate Council
recommends the change of the effective date to January 1996 and the
inclusion of the statement of the students' right to appeal.

Chairperson LaGodna said to keep in the mind the reasons for the extensive
changes have to do with the fact that the College of Pharmacy has changed to
a completely new curriculum, a Pharm D Curriculum, while this may
seem extensive it matches the kinds of changes that have taken place in the
overall curriculum.

Professor Jesse Weil asked for an explanation of course directors and lab
instructors.

Professor Bill Lubawy (Pharmacy) stated that the courses depending on the
level are taught by a different number of individuals. The introductory
courses for the most part are taught by one faculty member and
sometimes two. The advance courses are taught by a team of faculty members.
It would be impossible to get a whole team of faculty members involved to
discuss students' progress, so the individual who is in charge of the
course is the one who represents their course. The laboratory instructors
are essentially Pharmacy faculty members who run the clinical experiences

and laboratories.

Professor Lubawy suggested it would be a friendly amendment to make the
effective date of the proposal Fall 1995. The reason for this is the
process of curriculum revision began quite a while ago. The curriculum
revision was successfully taken care of and that was a fairly monumentas
activity. Unfortunately getting the academic rules through the process took
a lot longer. They succeeded in getting it through the Academic Council of
the Medical Center but the Senate did not meet during the summer. Because
of that they checked with Gay Elste, the University attorney in the Medical
Center to see what they should be doing. The first group of new Pharm D
students admitted for August 1995 were admitted last spring. It then became
obvious they would not get the rules in place. There was concern because it
is not very simple to change the academic rules for a student once they are
admitted. The University policy is generally that a curriculum under which
a student is admitted is the one under which they graduate, providing they

gopher://ukcc.uky.edu/Otext%20AUTOVIEW! 191/ 1 99601 12.SENATE 1 1/5/2001

 

 Page 5 0f 7

are making regular progress. The rules do not address well at all what
happens in terms of academic rules; they do not differentiate curriculum
versus academic rules. The whole area is essentially fraught with potential
for legal action. Because of that all the students that were admitted in
the Spring were given the new rules and told that rules like this or similar
to this would be discussed by the University Senate in the fall and if
approved would apply to them. This was much less of a problem than trying
to get them in under one set of rules and then change to another. All
students were asked to read the rules and sign a form indicating they had
read them and initial sections. Each student in the program was fully
informed that these rules potentially apply to them if approved by the
Senate in the fall.

Chairperson LaGodna stated since the original proposal had an effective
date of Fall 1995 and the Senate Council had decided to change it to January
1996 there needed to be a motion.

Professor Doug Poe made the motion the effective date be moved to Fall
1995. The motion was seconded. The motion to change the effective date to
Fall 1995 passed in a voice vote.

The question was asked if the Senate Council's added provision of the right
to appeal pertained to the University Academic Appeals Board. Professor
LaGodna answered yes it did.

The proposal as amended passed in a voice vote and reads as follows:

Background and Rationale:

The revised academic rules for the College of Pharmacy were considered and
approved by the Academic Council for the Medical Center on March 28, 1995,
and forwarded to the University Senate Council in early April. The Senate
Council discussed the proposed guidelines on April 17 and forwarded them to
the Admissions and Academic Standards Committee with a request for review.
On October 2, the Admissions and Academic Standards Committee recommended
approval of Pharmacy's "Academic Performance, Progress and Guidelines" with
an effective date of Fall, 1995. The Senate Council accepted the
recommendation of the Admissions and Academic Standards Committee, with two
minor changes. The effective date was changed to January 1996, and a
statement of the student's right to appeal was added.

The Proposal:

ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE, PROGRESS AND GUIDELINES

The Academic Performance Committees (APC) are charged with monitoring
students' progress through the curriculum. The Committees regularly review
(during and at the end of each semester) the performance of each student
based on course grades and on written comments of each students'
performance, both of which are shared with the student and are part of the
student record. The APC for students in a particular year will consist of
the course directors and laboratory instructors for that year plus a
standing core of faculty. The APC will recommend an action appropriate to
the particular student standing and record i.e. proceed to the next series
of courses, promotion to the next year, graduation, probation, probation
with remedial action, removal from probation, academic leave, suspension,
dismissal, or other action. Recommendations for graduation are made to the
Dean and to the faculty since graduation requires approval by the faculty.
All other recommendations are to the Dean. Students must be promoted to
subsequent year standing by action of the APC. Promotion is not automatic,
but must be earned based on appropriate performance and satisfaction of

g0pher://ukcc.uky.edu/Otext%20AUTOVIEW!191/199601 12.SENATE 1 1/ 5/2001

 

 Page 6 of 7

prior coursework. The APC may also recommend other actions including but
not limited to adjustment of academic load, repetition of curriculum
segments and participation in counseling sessions. Although the APC
considers the overall record of the student in making decisions, the APC
will rely heavily on the following general guidelines in making its
recommendations.

1. All students are expected to earn a minimum grade of "C" in all courses.
Students who fail to earn a minimum of "C" in any course will be placed on
probation with remediation, be suspended or be dismissed from the College.

2. Students who fail to earn a minimum grade of "C” in any two required
courses during the same semester, or who fail to earn a minimum grade of "C"
in any course while on probation, will be suspended or dismissed from the
College.

3. Students who do not satisfy the remediation requirements for probation
will be suspended or dismissed from the College.

4. Students who satisfy the remediation requirements for probation will be
removed from probation.

Because the College of Pharmacy is charged with the education and training
of competent pharmacists and because competence must be assured not only in
the fund of knowledge and technical abilities of the student, but also in
their standards of personal and professional conduct, student progress is
carefully monitored to certify that students have acquired appropriate
knowledge, skills, behavioral characteristics and ethical principles. To
this end students are responsible for conforming to all rules standards and
regulations specified in such documents as the Health Science Students
Professional Behavioral Code, Behavior Standards in Patient Care, Student
Rights and Responsibilities and standards detailed in the College of
Pharmacy Bulletin. Review of such responsibility is vested with the APC
which will seek recommendations from an advisory group composed of the APC
core faculty and an equal number of student representatives. Academic rules
will not be changed during a student's enrollment if and only if the student
has continued to progress within the class of matriculation. Rules
affecting leaves and standards of behavior may be Changed with notice.

Students dismissed from the College of Pharmacy because of a recommendation
from the Academic Performance Committee may petition readmission through the
Academic Performance Committee. Students withdrawing from the College while
in good academic standing may petition readmission through the Admissions
Committee. Students expelled from the College because of violations of
academic integrity are not eligible for readmission.

Special Considerations.

1. The demands of the Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum consume the entire
efforts of students. Therefore upon acceptance to the program of study
students are expected to devote their energies to the academic program. The
College actively discourages employment while courses are in session and
cannot take outside employment or activities into account when scheduling
classes, examinations, reviews, field trips or individual course functions
or special projects.

2. Due to curricular requirements course functions and/or examinations

outside the normal Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM business hours time
frame will occur.

gopher://ukcc.uky.edu/Otext%20AUTOVIEW! 191/199601 12.SENATE 1 1/5/2001

 

 Page 7 of 7

Clinical responsibilities include evening and weekend work.
4. All College of Pharmacy students are subject to the rights, rules and
regulations governing University of Kentucky students in all manners not

specifically covered in Medical Center and College documents.

A student found guilty of committing any offense may appeal that finding
through the Academic Ombud to the Appeals Board.

Effective Date: Fall Semester 1995

Note: If approved, the proposal will be forwarded to the Rules Committee
for codification.

The meeting was adjourned at 4:25 p.m.

Background and Rationale:

The revised academic rules for the College of Pharmacy were considered and approved by
the Aademic Council for the Medical Center on March 28, 1995, and forwarded to the
University Senate Council in early April. The Senate Council discussed the proposed
guidelines on April 17 and forwarded them to the Admissions and Academic Standards
Committee with a request for review. On October 2, the Admissions and Academic
Standards Commiteee recommended approval of Pharmacy’s “Academic Performance,
Progress and Guidelines” with an effective date of Fall, 1995. The Senate Council
accepted the recommendation of the Admissions and Academic Standards Committee,

graduation, probation, probation with remedial action, removal from probation, academic
leave, suspension, dismissal, or other action. Recommendations for graduation are made
to the Dean and to the faculty since graduation requires approval by the faculty. All
other recommendations are to the Dean. Students must be promoted to subsequent year

Students who do not satisfy the remediation requirements for probation will be
