I promised you a couple of recommendations regarding faculty oversight of
academic computing and distance learning. Here they are. Anyone want to
weigh in (Greg?)?
1. We recommend that the faculty and administration reconsider the
missions of the Institute committees that deal with academic
computing, distance learning and other issues related to our charge,
in order to stimulate more faculty input.
Possibilities include redefining the charge and membership of
the administration's Academic Computing Council or the standing
Faculty Committee on the Library System.
2. We recommend that the administration consider linking the
Academic Computing Office more closely with the Office of the
Dean for Undergraduate Education, including the possibility that
the Director of Academic Computing report to the Dean.
Comments?
