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.
Newly elected Faculty Advi
sory Council members and
Faculty Personnel Committee
members were announced.
New advisory council members
are: Aaron Novick, biology;
Barry Siegel, economics; Don
ald Tull, marketing; Shirley Wil
son, academic advising and
student affairs; and Mike Ellis,
physical education for a one
year appointment.
