President's Report
President Swygert reported that the Legislature approved the budget. He noted that
the Legislature restored graduate TAP which provides about $700,000 a year to this
campus. The Legislature also approved SUTRA which allows campuses to keep any
income over the set amount of tuition.
Enrollments, both public and private, are down, reported the President. The
University at Albany is currently required to enroll 1,900 first-time students for the
fall semester. We have tried to maintain high admission standards for all students,
including a 2.5 GPA for transfer students. Over time the institutions that are able to
sustain excellence will excell, the President said.
The President also noted that the Institute for Health Care Management was
funded in the amount of $200,000. The local assistance bill contains $1 million for
the Center for Governmental Technology, which this unit has been invited to
manage.
Dean Kim, the Admissions Office and several faculty members are working on the
Presidential Scholars Initiative, the President reported. Criteria for admission is a
92 GPA and 1250+ on SATs.
Vice President Hitchcock approved 16 faculty recruitments for the upcoming year,
reported President Swygert. Two have accepted, four are pending and ten searches
are underway.
Last summer there was a major computer equipment distribution to faculty
members, said the President. We are trying to make the infrastructure investments
and satisfy office computing services for the faculty again this year.
President Swygert reported that he had received a call as to whether the University
would like to manage the State Library and the State Museum. The faculty would
be consulted before an undertaking is agreed upon. The President assured the
Senate that the University is not engaged in any formal or informal discussions on
this issue.
President Swygert announced that Dr. Judith Gillespie has accepted the position of
Dean of Arts and Sciences.
President Swygert asked Vice President Hitchcock to give an update on the General
Education Implementation. She reported that Dean Kim and Professor Knoblauch
have been coordinating the work on the implementation and have been working
closely with CUE and the Registrar's office. We are at target as of today. Courses
have been coming forward from the colleges and forwarded to the General
Education Review Committee, which will continue to review courses, she said.
Also, workshops will continue so that faculty will be able to continue developing
courses. The committee is also working on an assessment program. Publicity is
being generated for the implementation. This will be an ongoing development
process, she said, and thanked all faculty for their participation.
3.
SUNY -wide Senate Report
Senator Wallace reported that there will be a SUNY -wide Senate meeting on April

information table. This letter is to clarify communication of the process to the
faculty.
Senate Bill No. 9293-05: Revision of Student Senator Elections will be placed on
the agenda of the General Faculty Meeting on May 5, reported Chair Brannon.
There will be a Faculty Social Hour on April 13 from 4-6 p.m. in the Futterer
Lounge, Chair Brannon said.
There will be a Faculty Forum Luncheon on April 21 at 12:15 p.m. in the Assembly

from the last Faculty Forum. Also, more time will be set aside for interaction
among those attending, she said.

1993-96, reported Chair Brannon.

6.
Old Business
There was no Old Business.
7.
New Business
a.
1993-94 Chair-Elect and Secretary Elections. Chair Brannon announced the
candidates: Joan Schulz, candidate for Chair-Elect, and Shirley Jones, candidate for
Secretary. Nominations for both positions remain open. There were no additional
nominations from the floor.
Senator Bosco moved that nominations for Chair-Elect and Secretary be closed and
that Joan Schulz and Shirley Jones be elected by acclamation. The motion was
seconded and carried.
b.
Senator Bill No. 9293-06: Undergraduate Leave of Absence Policy. The Bill
was moved and seconded by the Senate Executive Committee, said Chair Brannon.
Senator Spanier reported that this Bill will formalize the practice that is currently in
place. Dean Kim expressed concern about the GP A requirement of 2.0. The
wording is consistent with other leave policies, Senator Spanier said. Approval is
contingent upon a 2.0 cum at the end of the semester before the student leaves.
President Swygert asked if it is possible for one of our students to acquire the credit
needed for graduation at another institution? Our residency requirement states that
30 hours of the last 36 hours need to be taken here. A student has to be in good
standing and the policy covers unusual circumstances, Senator Spanier said.
The question was called. The Bill passed with two abstentions.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 4:35p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Carson Carr, Jr.

Dear Lil:
Administration 214
Albany, New York 12222
518/442-3950
At the Senate meeting yesterday, Senator Reed Hoyt criticized Academic
Affairs for not properly informing University faculty of the implementation
measures of the General Education Reform, which will go into effect in
September 1993. His criticism, however, does not jibe with fact, for Vice
President Karen Hitchcock sent a memo, dated November 30, 1993, to Deans,
Chairs and Directors about how Academic Affairs will implement the Senate Bill
9192-01. It should be noted that the steps we outlined in the memo were a
result of an extensive study and consultation with appropriate governance
bodies, especially the General Education Committee.
I request that you will include in the Senate minutes of March 1, 1993 this
letter along with Dr. Hitchcock's memo.

Vice President for Academic Affairs
IMPLEMENTATIONOF SENATE BILL 9192-01
Administration 203
Albany, New York 12222
518/442-4000
Fax: 518/442-4159
As you are probably aware, the Senate Bill 9192-01 approved by
President Swygert last Spring provided that the current General Education
Program will be "suspended as of Fall 1993." On the recommendation of
both Dean Sung Bok Kim and the General Education Committee chaired by
Associate Dean Cy Knoblauch, the University has decided that effective
September 1, 1993 no additional General Education courses will be required
for those students who matriculated at the University prior to Fall 1993,
except for a course in Human Diversity and two writing intensive courses
(one on the lower division level and another on the upper division level). Of
course, those students graduating up until August 1993 must complete the
current General Education Program requirements in their entirety.
While such a transition plan is necessary, the General Education
Committee strongly urges that faculty and academic advisors encourage all
such continuing undergraduates to further enrich their academic programs
by a wise choice of -electives from among the broad variety of the liberal
arts and sciences disciplines. Their recommendation reflects the
University's uninterrupted commitment to the principles and spirit of general
education.
Students matriculated at the University on the basis of admission as
either a new or a transfer student as of the Fall 1993 semester and
thereafter must fulfill the new General Education requirements. Transfer
students with AA and AS degrees are excepted, as currently is the case.
Students with AAS and AOS degrees will be subject to the University's
usual procedures and regulations concerning such students as stipulated in
Senate Bill 9091-08.

interpreter of the undergraduate academic policies and rules at Albany.

UNIVERSITY AT ALBANY, STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK
UNDERGRADUATE LEAVE OF ABSENCE POLICY
Introduced by: Undergraduate Academic Council
Date:
March 2, 1993
IT IS HEREBY PROPOSED THAT THE FOLLOWING BE ADOPTED:
I.
That the attached Undergraduate Leave for Approved Study policy be adopted.
II
That the implementation of this policy be effective for all undergraduate students seeking a Leave
for Approved Study in the Spring 1994 semester and thereafter.
III.
That this bill be referred to the President for approval and implementation.
GUIDELINES FOR UNDERGRADUATE LEAVE FOR APPROVED STUDY
The following guidelines shall apply to undergraduate students who wish to obtain a Leave for Approved
Study:
1. A student must apply for permission to pursue a leave with the Office of Withdrawal and Re-Entry.
2. Study must be in an approved program at another college or university.
3. A leave for approved study can be granted for a maximum of two semesters. A request for a leave
implies an intent to return to the university in the next successive semester after completion of the leave.
4. A student must have a minimum University at Albany cumulative average of 2.00 or better to be
eligible for a Leave for Approved Study.
5. Advisor approval is necessary for the leave to be approved.
6. BOP Director approval is necessary for the leave to be approved if the student was admitted through the
BOP program.
7. A student may pursue part-time or full-time coursework leave.
RATIONALE
Although the University has maintained an undergraduate leave of absence program for many years,
there is no clear policy with regard to leaves and the processes for granting leaves. This bill will
formalize this process.
Students often wish to experience another academic setting or coursework overseas not covered under the
auspices of the University's Office oflnternational Programs. A Leave for Approved Study policy would
allow for academically enriching experiences while permitting students to maintain of-ficial ties with the
University. Additionally, it is sometimes necessary for students to return home for a restricted period of
time yet still be able to pursue coursework and make progress toward their degree. For example, students
may experience financial dif-ficulties and opt to return home to work and find it possible to pursue
coursework. Other reasons for a leave: family dif-ficulties such as care of an elderly or sick family
member. A formal Leave for Approved Study policy allows for students to maintain their ties to Albany
and at the same time maintain their financial aid while studying elsewhere.
A leave policy is more desirable option, since students tend to view withdrawal with apprehension. The
leave policy would streamline a student's ability to register at the University again with a minimum of
administrative impediments. The advantage to the University is better enrollment management, we will
know when a particular cohort is due to return and can plan for them accordingly. This is never possible
with students who withdraw, since their ties to the University are severed.
University policy now states that students, who request readmission after withdrawing, who have less than
a 2.00 cumulative average must have their requests considered by the Committee on Academic Standing
in order to determine readmissibility. A minimum 2.00 standard for Leave for Approved Study removes
the possibility a student may attempt to circumvent the withdrawal policy and avoid Committee on
Academic Standing review.
