Minutes of the University Senate, November 29, 1971 — cont 3267

ADD THE WORDS ”College of Dentistry" in the headings of each of the
above two items, and change the wording in the paragraph under E. 2.
College of_Medicine, to include "dental" students . . . and "dental”
classes

These revisions will then read:
"D. The Marking System (except for Colleges gf_Law, Medicine and

Dentistry) ——

"E. Marking Systems for Colleges 9f_Law, Medicine and Dentistry:

"2. Colleges gf_Medicine and Dentistry —— Honors, Pass and Unsatisfactory
are the designations for the College of Medicine and College of Dentistry

students. The H, P, U designations are utilized only for medical and
dental students. The few graduate and/or undergraduate students in
essentially medical and dental classes are graded as is the rest of
the University.”

Chairman Rovin reported that the results of an action ballot taken to
change the baccalaureate degree designations within the College of Allied
Health Professions from the present four degrees (Bachelor of Science in
Community Health, Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene, Bachelor of Science
in Medical Technology, and Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy) to one
degree: Bachelor of Health Sciences, had also met with overwhelming approval,
the vote being 130 in favor, five opposed, with three non—voting Senators
in favor of. Therefore, with the 1972 Spring Commencement the Bachelor of
Health Sciences degree will be conferred, with an option for the presently
enrolled juniors and seniors in the College-to choose the other designation.
These juniors and seniors will declare the option for this degree in
accordance with procedures and dates set by the College of Allied Health
Professions. Beginning with the 1974 graduates the Bachelor of Health
Sciences degree will be the only one given.

The Chairman reported that following the recent Senate action
authorizing a six~week summer session and establishing summer session
maximum credit hour loads for undergraduates, the Graduate School had
established the following maximum allowable load for graduate students;
that these criteria would become a part of the Rules 9f_the Universigy
Senate and would be included in the next updating of the Rules.

Eight—week Summer Session - 9 credit hours

Six—week Summer Session — 6 credit hours

Four—week 'Intersession — 4 credit hours

The maximum load for any combination of the six and eight-week
sessions — 9 credit hours

The maximum load for summer andintersession — 12 credit hours

Trustees members will be held from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m., Tuesday, December 14,

Dr. Rovin reminded the Senators of their action at the May 10, 1971
meeting in which they tabled the ROTC issue until the regular November
meeting of the Senate at which time the College of Arts and Sciences was
directed to present a report on the role of ROTC at the University. He
reported that the Senate Council had received that report and it was hoped

it could be presented to the Senate at its regular meeting on December 13, 1971.

3268 Minutes of the University Senate, November 29, 1971 — cont

On behalf of the Senate Council, Professor Garrett Flickinger, acting
for the Secretary of the Senate Council, presented the following two
motions for the consideration of the Senate. These two recommendations
had been circulated to the faculty under date of October 6, 1971.

1. Add to Section I., B. 2. Meetings, Rules of the University Senate

(Revised and Updated May 1971), page 4, the—following paragraph:

Twenty-five per cent (25%) of those members of the University
Senate present and voting or the Chairman can order a vote be
taken by roll call. A motion for roll call vote shall be
privileged, undebatable and cannot be amended.

2. Add the following sentence in the same section:
No motion may be laid on the table.

A student Senator presented a recommendation that the second motion be
amended to read ”No motion may be laid on the table indefinitely.” By

way of clarification he stated that this proposed amendment would still
allow a motion to lay on the table temporarily, definitely, or be returned
to committee; the only abolishment to be the option to lay a motion on

the table indefinitely, which is undebatable. The Senate approved this
amendment to the second motion. The Senate then approved the first motion
as presented and the second motion, as amended.

The Chairman reminded the Senators that in order to consider the
next two items on the agenda — namely, the proposed abolishment of the
Departments of Botany, Microbiology and Zoology, and the proposal
relative to the Thomas Hunt Morgan School of Biological Sciences — both
of which had been circulated to the faculty under date of November 18,
1971, and had not been received 10 days before this meeting -— it would
be necessary for the Senate to waive the 10—day rule.

The Senate approved waiver of the 10—day rule and on behalf of the Senate
Council, Professor Flickinger presented the following motion:

In accordance with the Governing Regulations of the University
of Kentucky, the College of Arts and Sciences requests that

the University Senate recommend to the President land it does so
recommend/ the dissolution of the Departments of Botany,
Microbiology and Zoology and that the School of Biological
Sciences be designated as the basic educational unit responsible
for the instruction and research in biology currently performed
by these Departments.

At this point a Senator asked that the Senate Council Chairman attempt to
expedite circulations through the Stenographic Bureau in order to prevent
the continuing need for waiver of the 10—day rule in order to consider new
business.

In discussion which followed the motion, questions were raised of the
effect of such an action on budget and staff relocations; effect on
faculty tenure; and the figure availability of how the faculty affected
voted on these recommended dissolutions. Authoritative sources responded
that the funds would revert to the School of Biological Sciences; the
individual members of the three departments would become members of the
next higher educational unit —— in this case the School of Biological

Sciences in the College of Arts and Sciences; it was thought that tenure
would not be affected; and the vote taken in the affected departments was
24 for dissolution with two abstentions. On specific question of the vote
in the Department of Botany, the vote was eight in favor of dissolution with
one abstention.

The Senate approved the recommendation that the Departments of Botany,
Microbiology and Zoology be dissolved and the School of Biological Sciences

be designated as the basic educational unit responsible for the instruction
and research in biology currently performed by these departments, such
approval to be transmitted to the President of the University for presentation
to the Board of Trustees.

On behalf of the Senate Council Professor Flickinger presented the
following recommendation:

that the Thomas Hunt Morgan School of Biological Sciences be
redescribed as a School within the College of Arts and Sciences.
As such it shall be responsible for courses and programs that are
appropriate for general studies. Likewise it shall be responsible
for undergraduate and graduate courses and programs in Arts and
Sciences in Biology including Botany, Microbiology, Zoology and
any other branches of Biology that may be established in which
the emphasis is upon other than the applied. It shall also serve
programs involving applications of Biology in the other Colleges
of the University by offering courses that are basic to or
complement such programs. The existing courses and programs in
Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Physiology and Biophysics, Agronomy,
Animal Sciences, Horticulture, Entomology, Nutrition and Food
Sciences, Plant Pathology, and Plant Physiology are excluded from
its scope and responsibility except as they may be crosslisted by

prescribed procedures.

Motion was then made to amend the proposal to strike the above—underscored
insertions to the motion, which had been made by the Senate Council. Following
discussion, motion was made to amend the proposed amendment to place a period
after the first "Biology” in the third sentence of the motion and to delete

the remainder of the proposal. Following additional discussion the Senate
voted to vote on the proposed amendment to the amendment. The Senate then
approved the amendment to the amendment to place a period after the first
"Biology'' in the third sentence of the original proposal. The Senate approved
the original proposal, as amended, for transmittal to the President for
recommendation to the Board of Trustees. That proposal, as amended, and

approved reads:

Sciences in Biology.

The Chairman announced that the Senate Council had received 10 copies of

the Governing Regulations which may be checked out by individual faculty
members on a limited time basis. (These had been requested for all faculty
