MEMO TO: Faculty and Staff of La Salle University

FROM: Joseph Kane

DATE: October 5, 1995

On Tuesday, October 10, 1995, the campus community celebrates De La Salle International Day. It is an opportunity for us to celebrate our Lasallian heritage and our membership in the Lasallian world community. We are indeed part of the thou­sands of men and women at Lasallian institutions around the world responding to the education of today's youth.

You should have already received a brochure inviting you to De La Salle International Day. Please encourage your students to come to the events planned to foster their global awareness. I look forward to seeing you at the 12:30 celebration in the Union Lobby and in the exploration of La Salle Around the World in the Theatre at 2:30 PM.

LA SALLE UNIVERSITY MINUTES OF THE CURRICULUM COMMITTEE

21 MARCH 1995

PRESENT: L. Barenbaum, M. Bednar, N. Belzer, P. Brazina, J. Devlin, G. Connelly,D. Galante, D. George, J. Kane, M. McHugh, B. Millard, L. Miller,G. Ramshaw, J. Volpe

EXCUSED: J. Baky, J. Barnett, J. Brogan, J. Thomas, W. Walker

1. Dr. Kane called the meeting to order at 3:34 P.M.

2. The minutes from the 17 February 1995 meeting were approved.

3. Dr. Kelly and Br. Keenan presented a proposal for a new course entitled, "The Eucharist and the Japanese Tea Ceremony." Dr. Kelly began the presentation by describing the prior history o f the course. Dr. Kelly reported that the course had been offered as a special topics course for three years in the School o f Continuing Studies and for two years in the School o f Arts and Sciences. During that time and in both venues, the course was fully subscribed and received excellent, even "rave," reviews. Dr. Kelly went on to describe the course as "multicultural, cross- disciplinary and theological." As such, Dr. Kelly argued, the course would "enhance the curriculum."

Anticipating a possible worry, Br. Keenan next spoke to the "academic content" o f the proposed course. Br. Keenan informed the committee that in the recent past three doctoral candidates as well as the National Episcopal Cathedral contacted him for advice on various aspects o f the tea ceremony. The solicitation o f such advice was offered as evidence o f the richness, depth and significance o f the tea ceremony.

A committee member then asked if the proposal included a request that the course be a candidate for satisfying the Core 1A requirement. Dr. Kelly replied that the present proposal was that the course enter the curriculum as simply an elective.

Following the presentation by Dr. Kelly and Br. Keenan, committee members continued to discuss the appropriateness o f the proposed course for the Core 1A requirement. The discussion was motivated by the fact that currently any 200 level Religion course counts as satisfying Core 1A. It was the consensus o f the committee that the proposed course would not be appropriate for the satisfaction o f the Core 1A requirement. Accordingly, a motion was made and seconded to

accept the proposed course as an elective with the explicit understanding that the course would not satisfy the Core 1A requirement. The motion passed:

11 in favor 0 opposed 0 abstentions.

4. The next order o f business was a proposal to revise the minor in BusinessAdministration. Dr. Barenbaum described the revision as an attempt to "bring the Business Minor up to date." Currently, the Business minor consists o f six courses. The proposed revision is to make BUS 201 part o f the minor and to add MIS 300 to the offerings for the minor. The minor would still consist o f six courses, but now six courses "with some choice." Dr. Barenbaum described the proposed revision as a "modification rather than a major change."

Following the presentation by Dr. Barenbaum, a motion was made and seconded to accept the proposed revision to the minor in Business Administration. The motion passed:

10 in favor0 opposed1 abstention.

5. The next order o f business was the consideration o f a proposal for theestablishment o f a minor in Marketing for Communication Majors. In the presentation o f the proposal Ms. Javie explained that the new minor came about as the result o f demand from Communication majors and Communication faculty.The new minor would allow Communication majors to take upper level business courses. Ms Javie pointed out that even in the absence o f an existing minor some Communication majors have been taking business courses and doing well. Hence, it was Ms Javie's judgment that the new minor would prove a success. Nevertheless, Ms Javie emphasized that the new minor was being proposed only as a pilot program to be reviewed in three years.

A committee member asked why the new minor was restricted to Communication majors and not open to other majors — for example, Psychology and English -- with respect to which marketing might be relevant.

Ms. Javie replied that Communication majors seem to have "special skills" that allow them to perform well in the School o f Business environment

Ms. Javie's reply prompted another committee member to ask what special "skill set" a Communication major brought to the School o f Business environment vis-a- vis an English major, particularly since Communication and English majors take reciprocal courses. This committee member continued by suggesting that rather

Minutes, Curriculum Committee21 March 1995 Page 2

than relying on a specific major other criteria need to be developed to identify qualified students.

Another committee member suggested that perhaps what needed to be done was to identify the "skill set" necessary to succeed in the minor, and then admit students on the basis o f the presence o f the necessary "skill set" and not on the basis o f the major. Thus, the minor could be restricted on the basis o f skill and not major.

Finally, a committee member suggested to Ms Javie that ECN 201, rather than ECN 150, would be a better choice for inclusion in the curriculum o f the minor.

Following Ms. Javie's presentation the committee continued to discuss the appropriateness o f restricting entry into the proposed minor by major. Though some committee members thought there was a "natural fit" between communications and marketing making the restriction by major reasonable, there were others who thought that the issue was the presence o f the relevant "skill set," and hence that a restriction by major was a "mistake."

Accordingly, it was the decision o f the committee to send the proposal o f the new minor back to the Marketing Department to consider the identification o f the relevant "skill set" and the inclusion o f ECN 201.

6. As the final order o f business, Dr. Bart made a presentation o f a proposal for a new Environmental Studies major. Dr. Bart reported that the inspiration for the proposal was the result o f a conference he attended recently at the University o f Pennsylvania. At that conference he became aware o f just how successful such a major could be for recruiting students and for placing students in relevant employment after graduation. Dr. Bart explained that the proposed major was constructed solely from existing courses in mathematics, chemistry, biology, risk management, geology and economics. He pointed out to the committee that there was no set curriculum for an Environmental Studies major and that the major being proposed was differentiated from others o f which he was aware by its emphasis on geology. Dr. Bart concluded his presentation by saying that he believed the proposed major would be "good for students."

A committee member raised a question about two o f the courses required for the proposed major: (1) R M I 314, and (2) ECN 351. This committee member suggested that RMI 314 was too specialized a course and that students would not therefore have the background required. Instead o f RMI 314, the committee member proposed BUS 201 which also covers issues o f risk management. A similar worry was raised about the appropriateness o f ECN 351. The committee member pointed out that ECN 150 was a prerequisite for ECN 351 and as a result expressed a worry about the "integrity" o f a junior level course that could be taken without the prerequisite.

Minutes, Curriculum Committee21 March 1995 Page 3

Another committee member responded, however, that given the content o f ECN 150 it was not clear that it was necessary for ECN 351.

Another committee member asked if there was a provision within the Environmental Studies major for "exposure to philosophical, religious, and cultural issues" relevant to the study o f the environment.

Dr. Bart replied that there was no such provision at present because there were no such existing courses. However, he added that he expected the major to "evolve" over time making the inclusion o f such issues a very real possibility.

Following Dr. Bart's presentation the committee continued discussing the proposed major. It was decided that the proposal for the major should go ahead subject to changes at the next meeting.

7. The meeting was adjourned at 5:15 P.M.

Respectfully submitted,

Joseph Volpe secretary pro diem

Joseph KaneRE: Leaves and Grants

During October and November, the Leaves and Grants Committee will review and recommend on these grant applications, which are due in the Provost's Office by October 20:

* Research leave grants for one semester of the 1996-1997 academic year;

* Degree completion grants of one semester of the 1996-1997 academic year;

* "Other Type" grants which would be implemented before May 15, 1996;

* Course reduction grants for one course during the 1996-1997 academic year.

In the spring semester, applications will be available for (a) summer 1996 grants; and (b) "Other Type" grants that would be implemented between May 15, 1996, and September, 1996.Current policies on funds for these grants are as follows:

* Six full semesters of leaves are available;* The amount available for other grants is equal to the mean

Full Professor salary;* Up to eight one-course reductions are available for 1996-

1997;* "If one or more of the six full semester leaves is unused,

there should be a transfer of funds from the annual leaves budget to the summer and other type grant budget. The amount recommended is one-third of the middle step of the Associate Professor scale. Should more than one not be used, this motion is intended to cover just one instance." (College Council, December 14, 1981). For this calculation, the mean Associate Professor salary will be used.

i Tenured and tenure-track faculty are eligible to apply.

Review CriteriaIn consideration of the Committee's previous work, it has estab­lished the following as the criteria by which applications for all types of leaves and grants will be reviewed:

Cooperative Learning Workshop

During the past 90 years, more than 600 studies have been conducted by a wide variety of researchers in different decades with different age subjects, in different subject areas, and in different environments. We know far more about the efficacy of cooperative learning than we know about lecturing . . . or almost any other facet of education. (Johnson & Johnson, 1994, p. 38)

A workshop designed to introduce faculty and staff members to the powerful technique called cooperative learning will be offered again this semester. This workshop will outline the elements of cooperative learning and contrast cooperative groups with traditional groups. All participants will experience an actual cooperative learning activity. Examples of cooperative learning assignments currently used in La Salle classrooms will be shared and discussed. Participants will receive a packet of resource material that will help them design cooperative learning assignments for use in their own classrooms.

Last April, fourteen of your colleagues attended this workshop, and another twenty-six attended a panel discussion on uses of cooperative learning on our campus. Why not consider learning about this strategy for promoting active student participation and greater achievement? Call 951-1687 to preregister for one of the sessions listed below or to receive additional information.

Full-time faculty, adjunct faculty, and interested s ta ff members are all welcome, indeed encouraged, to attend this workshop, and any other session sponsored by the Teaching and Learning Center.

DATE: October 6, 1995

SUBJECT: Taxation of Gradate Level Courses

The House Ways and Means Committee completed work on a $30 billion tax bill September 19, 1995. The legislation will be incorporated into the budget reconciliation bill later this fall and includes a one-year retroactive extension to January 1, 1995 to the tax-exempt status of employer provided educational assistance of up to $5,250 per year to employees for graduate level education under Section 127 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Although this news is better than anticipated, a great deal of work needs to be done to ensure an extension of employer provided graduate-level educational assistance is included in any final bill. A Senate companion bill (S.1095) to extend section 127 was introduced by Senators Daniel P. Moynihan and William V. Roth and is currently cosponsored by Senators Patty Murray (D-WA), Charles Grassley (R-IA), Max Baucus (D-MT), Alfonse D’Amoto (R-NY), John Breaux (D-LA), Orrin Hatch (R-UT), and David Pryor (D-AR).

The Senate Finance Committee will focus on budget reconciliation issues in early October. I urge you to telephone or fax your Senator(s) immediately, urging them to cosponsor S.1095.

Please make the following point to your Senator(s):

- Extend graduate-level assistance through December 31, 1997.

- Retain the exclusion cap at $5,250.

Dear Faculty, fellow students, classmates of Geff Kelly, and friends of Susan Kelly,Please forgive the long delay in our sending you this note of gratitude for your participation in our fundraiser for our adopted little sister, Susan Kelly. The fundraiser basketball game was held on April 26th. Thanks to the efforts of so many of you we were able to raise slightly over $2000 to help the Kelly family pay for Susan's many therapies and tutoring. In particular, the money raised was used this past summer to pay for Susan's speech therapy and for a whole summer of special tutoring that enabled her to reach the 6th grade level in English and mid-4th grade level in math. At present Susan is following a regimen of homeopathic treatments as she continues to be an outpatient at Children's Hospital while keeping with physical, occupational and speech therapies. We are grateful for your kindness to Susan which helps her considerably in overcoming the handicaps of her illness.But we are sorry that this letter must needs be general. In the confusion and chaos of our end of school year moving, the records of the donors to this fundraiser were lost along with a number of papers that had been in the care of a fraternity brother. Our extensive efforts to retrieve these names from the banks ran into the obstacles of bank policies and the heavy expenses a full tracing of all those checks would entail. Finally, we had to give up the search and suffer the frustration of not being able to thank you personally and individually for your donations. We feel as if we're in the position of the man who was helped by the Good Samaritan but never learned his identity.Please accept this letter as an appreciative acknowledgement of your kindness to Susan. Her struggle with brain cancer and the lingering effects of her surgeries, chemo and radiation is now in its tenth year. We hope to hold the next fundraiser earlier in the next year and again hope for your support. We thank you also for your many prayers joined to ours for Susan.

Gratefully,

Larry Logan, President andthe Brothers of Sigma Phi Lambda
