Report from Academic Policy re: the
EdD Proposal
The Status Report on the SCSU EdD
Desireability/Feasibility was distributed by the Academic Policy Committee.
Discussion followed:
-
Many meetings have taken place regarding
the EdD Proposal, including meetings with Chancellor Cibes and members
of the BOT.
-
A Senator reported that BOT has confirmed
that appropriate financial support may be available.
-
It is currently difficult to answer
specific questions about the cost of the EdD, as the program has
not been completely designed.
-
Educational Leadership wishes to continue
with the design phase, which is approximately a two-year process. Many
of the questions that have arisen can be answered if Ed Leadership can
finish the design of the EdD program.
-
CSU is the largest producer of School
Administrators in the State. SCSU is missing the boat by not having the
EdD.
-
Better communication is essential. Some
on campus perceive that any proposal not generated by the Faculty Senate
is automatically suspect.
Meeting was adjourned at 2:55PMK
Respectfully submitted,
T. Wiley Carr
Secretary of the Senate-
