Dr. Smith then gave a summary of the faculty who were being presented for tenure, including key demographic statistics. 3 Academics & Campus Environment Committee - New Business - Action Items A motion for approval was made by Trustee Michael with a second from Trustee Goforth and was approved unanimously by the committee. c. Tenure as a Condition of Employment, Tampa Dr. Smith continued on with the next tenure item and provided summaries of the five candidates: Drs. Marcus Cooke, Liane Robertson, Stanley M.

Degree Program Termination, M.A. Adult Education Chair Tokarz reminded the committee that one of their charges is ensuring that resources are utilized in an efficient way, especially when it pertains to students’ needs and making sure they are prepared to enter the workforce upon graduation. Vice Provost Terry Chisolm presented the item and provided an overview for the rationale in the termination, including the retirement of key program faculty and declining enrollments. Current students in the program were made aware of the intent to close the program and were provided new schedules to allow them successful degree completion. A motion for approval was made by Trustee Goforth with a second from Trustee Michael and was approved unanimously by the committee. g. Revisions to USF Regulation 3.007: Degree Requirements: Baccalaureate/Undergraduate 4 Academics & Campus Environment Committee - New Business - Action Items Chair Tokarz briefly queued up the next three revisions to USF Regulations as being put forth as part of the ongoing process the university is undergoing with consolidation coming on July 1. Dr. Chisolm presented the item and informed the committee that most of it was technical changes to bring the university in line with SACSCOC requirements for consolidation, as well as changes to degree requirements for separately accredited institutions versus a multi-campus singly accredited institution. A motion for approval was made by Trustee Shinn with a second from Trustee Michael and was approved unanimously by the committee. h. Revisions to USF Regulation 6.0021: Student Code of Conduct Dean of Students Danielle McDonald presented the item, which included revisions to USF Regulation to bring them up to date to better reflect the university’s processes, guidelines and procedures, and to reflect the goals, missions, values and vision of the university in promoting responsibility and adherence to the standards of behavior. Dean McDonald’s presentation included a slide deck that is posted online with a summary of changes. A motion for approval was made by Trustee Shinn with a second from Trustee Goforth and was approved unanimously by the committee. i. Revisions to USF Regulation 3.027: Academic Integrity of Students Vice President Paul Dosal presented the item, which consisted of mostly technical changes. One of the substantive changes highlighted by Dr. Dosal was the implementation of a centralized reporting system that would be made available to faculty to make for a more efficient notification process for students. A motion for approval was made by Trustee Shinn with a second from Trustee Michael and was approved unanimously by the committee. j. Supplemental Educational Plant Survey Chair Tokarz introduced the last item as an update to the Supplemental Educational Plant Survey (EPS). The previous EPS was approved in 2017, but the committee is being asked to approve a supplemental plan because of a change in Board of Governors’ project scoring model and an increased emphasis on remodels and renovations. Interim Vice President Chris Duffy then presented the item, which included a slide deck that summarized the EPS and the updates that were made. The committee had questions regarding the prioritization of projects and how that was determined and the uniformity with how things were considered from campus to campus. 5 Academics & Campus Environment Committee - New Business - Action Items A motion for approval was made by Trustee Shinn with a second from Trustee Mitchell and was approved unanimously by the committee.

    American Society for Cell Biology Page 1 of 2 Newsletter >> Member Profiles >> Member Profiles (Archive) Aug 3, 2009 << back 2003 Karen Holbrook When Karen A. Holbrook became the 13th president of The Ohio State University on October 1, she arrived in Columbus at an opportune moment. The Ohio State Buckeyes were on their way to an undefeated season in the Big Ten Conference and a final victory in the Fiesta Bowl to claim the national football championship. “I had everything to do with it,” says Holbrook with as straight a face as she can manage. “The coach is getting much too much credit.” Then she laughs before adding, “It’s great being Number One in the football polls, but I’d also like to see us Number One academically.” To her credit, Holbrook says she faces a steep learning curve in presiding over a big- time college athletics program. She went to Ohio State from The University of Georgia in Athens where as Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost, Holbrook was responsible for the day-to-day running of virtually every- thing but the Bulldogs’ athletic program. Before that, Holbrook was Vice President for Research and Dean of the Graduate School, Office of Research, Technology and Graduate Education at the University of Florida in Gainesville. Yet friends and colleagues who’ve followed Holbrook’s career in research and then academic administration say they fully expect Holbrook to take Big Ten football in her stride. Karen Holbrook has a knack for drawing diverse talents and perspectives together for mutual advantage, according to colleague Peter Byers.

Foreword My qualifications for providing this account of the presidential tenure of karen holbrook include a long career at Ohio state and varied experience in university governance and administration. in my forty-three years here, i have served as a faculty member, center and institute director, associate dean, and department chair, and in those roles i’ve observed, from close and afar, seven presidencies. For several years i also directed the university’s columbian Quincentenary committee, which let me become familiar for the first time with a presidential administration—that of edward Jennings (1981–1990). eight years ago i helped to create an annually offered undergraduate course, “OsU: its history and its World,” which has taught me much about the past and present of Ohio state and about the conditions and people that help define a leader’s term. and from 2005 to 2011, during the last two years of holbrook’s five-year term and the first few of the presidency of Gordon Gee, i served as secretary of the University senate.
