<DIV dir=ltr>Grady,</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Currently most of the Biology graduate faculty members has over 5 graduate students and with the introduction of online biology program, the number of non-thesis option graduate students are keep increasing. I am sure that this might be the scenario for several other departments too. Under this scenario I would propose to include the following items for discussion to the issues to be addressed:</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in; tab-stops: 45.0pt">Each college shall develop and maintain a published procedure for workload in the following areas:<?xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN-LEFT: 0.85in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.35in; tab-stops: 81.0pt">3.2.1 Honor’s Thesis Supervision<o:p></o:p></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN-LEFT: 0.85in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.35in; tab-stops: 81.0pt">3.2.3 Doctoral Dissertation Supervision<o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Good morning:</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">As you can see from the thread below we had a landmark day for faculty governance yesterday with both the Faculty Senate and Dean’s Council approving the new workload document (attached). A huge round of thanks go out to Derald Harp for his leadership and bird-dogging skills on making this happen. This is the most dramatic change I have seen since my arrival here in 2011. I am very happy to see this vote of confidence in, by, and for our colleagues.</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">As you can see from looking at the final procedure we need to develop a CoSEA-specific version of the workload procedure. In order to have this in place for the fall term we need to have that document ready for submission to the Provost’ office by July 5<SUP>th</SUP>.</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">I will host a meeting in the CoSEA Conference Room next Thursday afternoon at 2:00 PM to begin the process of writing that document. Please join us if your schedule permits. If not, please send your comments to me via email before that date.</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Major Issues to be addressed include:</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">1) workload credit for lab hours.</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">2) workload credit for supervising GAs and Adjuncts teaching labs.</SPAN></P>
