LA SALLE UNIVERSITY ACADEMIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE MINUTES OF November 3, 1998 3:30 p.m.
Present: J. Brogan, G. Bruce, M. Burke, J. Cicala, E. Cogan, J. Dieckman, G., M. Gallagher, C. Gray, g. Johnson, P. Joglekar, A. Mickle, B. Millard, A. Walker, Z. Wolf
• The minutes of October 5, 1998 were approved
• A Stage-1 proposal for Organizational Dynamics was introduced by Dean Millard who gave the background of the Program. The new initiative would be an evening program at the Bucks County campus targeting Arts and Science students with a business and interdisciplinary orientation. The Program cannot have more than 25% business course composition because of AACSB.
• Judy Stull then summarized the curriculum highlighting its flexibility to meet needs of students. Market survey was done and market potential exists in Bucks County. A member of the committee suggested 2 possible business course additions that might be added: Operations Management and Marketing. A discussion ensued. A concern was also noted that statistics is required but no math. It was agreed that program contents were not final yet.
• A motion to move the program to the next step i.e. curriculum committee was approved by 9-0.
• Dean Wolf introduced a Stage I proposal for a new combined graduate/undergraduate program in Speech Therapy, and gave a description of a detailed curriculum. The program has been reviewed and approved by a consultant regarding external licensing criteria. Courses for graduate qualifiers have not yet been specified. The consultant suggested many additional electives. Speech Therapy is the fastest growing occupation in the next century and public law and entitlement issues will increase need Steve Thorpe did feasibility study. Start-up costs relating to new faculty and lab facilities will be costly. Need for more study regarding costs was recognized and the consultant will assist in this regard. If clinic is on campus, expensive hi-tech equipment will be needed. Additional facts were noted about the Program: 10-12 qualifier courses will be needed before Masters Program; for an individual with a B.A. or B.S., program would require 2 years and summers for Masters and qualifier courses; Program will need Director and 3 faculty and many new courses; program should target students who do not need financial assistance. • A motion was made to move proposal to next stage with 3 provisos:
- Need more information re: labs, clinical sites and equipment
- Look into partnership potential with Moss Rehab and School District
- Need to separate one time costs vs. ongoing costs.
• Motion was approved 9-0.
• Next meeting will address academic calendar for 1999 - 00.
