Assembly delays Ph.D. motion
The University Assembly
Wednesday afternoon deferred a
motion that would transfer the
Ph.D. program in linguistics from
the English department to the lin
guistics department
The action came after Universi
ty Librarian George Shipman,
away at a conference, sent the
assembly a letter asking for a
deferral because the linguistics
department failed to consult with
the library over aquisition costs
and other expenditures that might
be incurred
A ruling last year, made by the
provost’s office, requires that
there be consultation between
organizers of new programs and
library personnel
The linguistics department
protested the deferral, citing that
the Ph.D. program is not an addi
tion to curriculum but a shift of
current curriculum from one
department to another
Department members also
reasoned that because the
program is in operation and has
been for quite some time, there
would be no extra library costs
incurred.
Shipman explained that his
intent is "not to stifle progress but
hope that progress is orderly '*
Shipman also wrote that it is "safe
to say additional funds will be
necessary "
In other assembly business,
English Prof. Glen Love,
representing the Academic
Standards Committee, proposed
a motion that provides uniform
standards for an honors degree
outside of the Honors College
The honors degree will include,
among other things, a
requirement for some type of
senior project.
University Pres Paul Olum also
announced that Ray Hawk's po
sition of vice president for admin
istration and finance will be filled
six months after Hawk retires in
July Olum cited financial reasons
for the delay and said that a
review of the position will be made
to see if streamlining is in order
