REGULAR AGENDA

FS 06-89/Flr. APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF MARCH 23, 2006

SECOND READING

FS 06-87/Ex. DOCTORAL PROGRAMS, POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR

Background: Following are the ad hoc committee’s recommendations for new University Policy Manual language with respect to campus doctoral programs. Currently the Manual only contains provisions regarding doctoral programs jointly operated with other institutions (e.g., University of California campuses). The proposed policy addresses both joint doctorates and any stand-alone doctoral program, e.g., the proposed Ed.D. program. While the ad hoc committee recommends leaving the existing joint doctoral policy largely intact, certain specific changes are proposed, e.g. with respect to clarifying funding requirements and specifying standards for faculty participation more appropriate to applied programs. The new stand-alone provisions also draw on the existing joint-doctoral program guidelines, but contain as well some unique features, as appropriate. We also recommend adding a more general introductory section addressing such major topics as the consultation process and the need for sufficient funding.

The Faculty Senate recommends adoption of the policy changes governing doctoral programs as outlined in Attachment A.

The current policy language can be found at the following link: http://www.csus.edu/acaf/univmanual/newdegapr.htm.
