[Staff] [Faculty] Executive Committee Mtg. Minutes

[Allen Plotkin]

The Minutes of April 19 contain the following:

13. Roundtable
Dean Mehrabadi – Discussed the issue of selecting the Valedictorian for the
College and the
Departments. The Executive Committee unanimously agreed that the selection
of the College of
Engineering and Departmental Valedictorian should be based solely on GPA.
Further, the Executive
Committee unanimously agreed that the major GPA should be used, and no
votes should be taken. This
procedure will be applied beginning Spring 2018.

The faculty have discussed the choice of College Valedictorian at faculty
meetings the last two years and it had been suggested that perhaps this
discussion should be continued through proper channels.  The Executive
Committee is presenting us with a procedure apparently adopted without
faculty input.  In addition, the choice of the Department Outstanding
Student (not Valedictorian) seems to be included in this procedure.  Also,
although the meeting was held on April 19 the Minutes were released well
after the end of the semester.
If other faculty are concerned by this I note that this announced procedure
would actually be implemented towards the end of the Spring 2018 semester.
