We would like you to examine and provide feedback on the proposed (2005) Academic Policies and Procedures Manual, before it goes before AP&P for a vote. A copy of the old (1990) manual is provided for comparison. Please send your comments to Joni Petschauer ( or to any of the other members of the committee) by April 4, 2005.
The 2005 manual has been re-ordered, updated, and revised. In general, but not exclusively, the recommended changes are described and grouped as follows. Re-ordering entailed removing appendices and incorporating that material into the main text, and listing specific academic issues alphabetically. Updating entailed the incorporation of all approved or mandated additions, changes, and deletions to academic policies and procedures since 1990. Revising entailed expanding the list of those eligible to propose academic changes, and making changes to the membership and leadership of the AP&P committee.
Revision of the 1990 manual began in 2003 with a subcommittee of AP&P members (Ms. Arwen Carter, Dr. Dan Hurley, Ms. Christina Tadlock, and Dr. Gayle Weitz – Chair). They created a rough draft of the manual, which was reviewed in 2004 by another subcommittee of AP&P ( Dr. Jon Beebe, Dr. Mark Estepp, Dr. Dan Hurley, Dr. Ron Marden, Mr. Don Rankins, Dr. Gayle Weitz and Ms. Joni Petschauer - Chair), who created this draft of the document. After considering your comments, this committee will submit a draft to the AP&P committee a vote.
