ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
Dr. Replogle – giving 2nd exam MIS 1503. Two files were sent that were identical.
Same mistakes exactly the same way. There were five mistakes. So he sent each
student an e-mail and told the students they were getting a zero on this portion of the exam. One guy who might not have cheated, didn’t come by to see Dr. Replogle and
just stopped coming to class. Very important that we turn in dishonesty every time.
We need to have an absolute record of this every time so we have a record for second time. Second time they should fail the course, third time they should be dismissed from school. Need a little adjustment on the form for someone who doesn’t come to see him after being e-mailed and he knows about it. Dean Duggar feels that they should get a zero. However, Dr. Replogle wants to be able to keep a form on this incident. Have
letter sent to the student and state that this is kept on file and have him/her sign that he/she received it. Dr. Quinn – University is working on Code of Conduct for students. Dean Duggar doesn’t know when the University Honor Code will be finished. Dean
Duggar would like us to have our own code, stating something about working in groups, teams etc. Dr. Replogle would like students involved in this and also have students involved in the disciplinary committee. Dr. Replogle asked the committee where we
want to go from here. Carleen has the form and the mechanism for the database. Dr. Guha stated to put it in the syllabus. Give a link for the COB Code of Conduct. Also
attach a form and have the student x that they agree and electronically send it.
Nursing doesn’t accept student in program if they don’t agree to their Code of Conduct/Ethics. Dean Duggar asked everyone to work on this, and he will work with Carleen to get a draft to everyone.

BUDGET REPORT FROM ADC MEETING

Declining enrollment. COB down 521 SCH’s. Overall University is down about 1,018. Percent change fall to fall, 3.5%. Other college percentages given as well. Dr. Allen
is using the modified department of higher education formula as to the number of
faculty in making adjustments off of this. Dean Duggar hasn’t met with her yet on the adjustments. Two other colleges have lost a position.

Spring class size – Dr. Allen is asking that we not delete classes, but add classes
instead. For instance 70 students want a class, so divide it into two classes instead of having 1 class of 7 and one class of 11 and neither makes the maximum enrollment.

No new monies available for adjuncts for spring.

Need to move two individuals from unfounded positions to lines. Two people (one
brought in by diversity when we didn’t have a line). That person continues without a
line, Dean Duggar believes they are going to make us provide them a line out of our vacant lines. Three funded, unfilled positions, one unfunded, unfilled position. Henry Torres, Mark Lewis – fund them into funded positions. Dr. Pittman – not terminally qualified, doesn’t meet AACSB qualifications. Money isn’t in a line, part of the
unfunded money that is used each year. Out of salary savings.

Dr. Seydel asked if we can fund a few adjuncts out of the tuition differential. Dean
Duggar stated that we can fund them from funds in the foundation and we may be
able to fund them out of the differential. Dean Duggar will get load reports on each
faculty member – however; everyone already got that report.

Summer budget to be reduced – already spent down. Dr. Allen has already spent
some of the budget from $1,000,000 to $800,000 and dropping. 20% reduction in
teaching opportunities this summer.

Reassignments must come from internal sources – Dr. McDaniel going through our reassignments to see how effective our reassignment policy is.

Research buyouts – money will not be carried forward, will go into supplies etc.
Lose it July 30th.

Administrative area – brought up and some indication that they were doing something about this.

Dr. Bevill – Some students who are beginning their first semester are not coming to
the Student Services Center first. Don’t send them to departments to get advisor.
Department Brochures – we need some good brochures from each department
since they are going out advising so really need some materials. Dr. Quinn – who is in charge of doing this? Each chair – work with Carleen on this. Remember, they want to know the type of careers with the particular majors.

This Friday, economists are coming to talk to the Introduction to Business classes. Department Chairs, if you would like to come to this, there are 34-35 students and
they are really interested in the types of jobs available for the different majors.

Introduction to Business – things to cover in this class, take up at next meeting.

Dr. Pittman – sending out to faculty again. Personal crusade on this. Advisory
Committee met and Sherry Stringer and Jim Goad – what can we do for you?
4.0 GPA , Accountant couldn’t hire them due to writing and communicating. Sr.
ASU COB Student, Dr. Pittman distributed a copy of a student’s assignment. Written assignment is not good for a senior.

Writing Center – Talked with Barry Ball and Jerry ? – send to Wilson Hall for this class.
Dr. Roe feels that this should be addressed early in the student’s career rather than in their Sr. Year.

CAP EXAM? This score is on transcript on SIS. Critical Analysis skills are on this exam.

Write across the curriculum
Enhancement courses for those who haven’t mastered the skill
Writing clinic for those students who need help.

Courtney Webb accepted offer – begins November 8th. She will be the new Advising Coordinator.

Copy of Writing lab given by Sandra. They may be able to send e-mail to student
through Early Alert and get them some assistance.
