University Assembly transfers PhD I By Debbie Howlett Ot Of Emerald The University Assembly ap proved the transfer of the University’s Ph D program in linguistics from the English department to the linguistics department by a unanimous vote Wednesday afternoon. The assembly also passed a motion setting standards for "graduation with honors" in its final meeting of the 1981-82 school year. The vote to transfer the Ph D. program came after a month long delay to allow the linguis tics department to consult with the library. George Shipman, University librarian, told the assembly that to ensure that the library has adequate resources, each time a program change is made, the library is required to consult with the department about its needs "This is an official adjustment in the status of the program that is long overdue," said Talmy Givon, head of the linguistics department. "It’s a very straightforward adjustment." The Ph.D. program in linguis tics remained part of the English department when the linguistics curriculum was expanded and a separate department es tablished in the mid-1970s The motion setting standards for graduation with honors was introduced by Glen Love, a University English professor and a member of the Academic Standards Committee His motion proposes that guidelines for “honors” specifications be described in the University catalog, that each department determine its own requirements and a "tangible" senior project or accomplish ment of some kind be complet ed The motion also suggested a guideline of 10 percent of the students as an upper limit for degrees with honors. Love explained that grade point averages aren't used as criteria because some depart ments weigh other factors more heavily.
