He announced that SUNY Central would be meeting shortly with

UNIVERSITY SENATE
Bill No. 8182-31
(REVISED)
STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT ALBANY
PROPOSED POLICY REGARDING TAKING FINAL EXM1INATIONS
Submitted by:
Unqergraduate Academic Council
February 14, 1983
IT IS HEREBY PROPOSED THAT THE FOLLOWING POLICY BE ADOPTED:
If a student has three examinations in one day as a result
of a departmental exam or of the official rescheduling of
an examination after the initial final examination
schedule has been published, then that student has the
right to be given a makeup examination in the department
or rescheduled exam.
The request for such an exam must
be made to .the instructor in the appropriate course no
later than two weeks before the last day of classes of
the given semester.
If possible, the rnake~p examination
should be given within the final examination period.
ATTACHMENT
RATIONALE
The question of three examinations in one day has been
discusseO. at great
length by_ this. CounciL .. aad by p:revious
ones, as well as by the Committee on Academic Standing.
These discussions did result in a bill which was rather
hastily passed by the Council and the Senate last spring.
The President refused to sign that bill and returned it
for further consideration.
He (sensibly) objected to
the fact that that bill referred to the practice of
"unofficial rescheduling" of exams.
This practice is
specifically prohibited by existing policy and should
hardly be referenced in any later policy.
The Council and CAS have once again considered the question.
They have noted that the only element common to all previous
discussion is that a majority of those involved w~ll usually
agree that three exams in one day, if they are a result of
late scheduling or rescheduling and could not be avoided
by the student, are a possible overburden for which some
relief should be available.
While the policy presented
(
above is far from unanimously acceptable either to CAS
(·. ,
or to the Council, it is the feeling of both bodies that
it represents the only p6ssible relief in the face of the
constraints of the current arrangement of: the exam sched-
ule and that it should be presented to the Senate in this
form for further debate in that larger forum.

Bill No. 82 83-13
UNIVERSITY SENATE
STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT ALBANY
POLICY ON PROGRAMMATIC REQUIREMENTS AND
STAFFING NEEDS THAT CROSS COLLEGE BOUNDARIES
Submitted by:
Council on Educational Policy
November 29, 1982
IT IS HEREBY PROPOSED THAT:
I.
The attached 11policy on programmatic requirements
and staffing needs that cross college boundaries"
be.approved.
II.
This bill be referred to the President for his
approval.
POLICY ON PROGRAMMATIC REQUIREMENTS
AND STAFFING NEEDS
THAT CROSS COLLEGE BOUNDARIES
1.
Whenever the faculty in a given department or school/
college specify skill or content area requirements for
their majors/minors which will affect the distribution
of faculty resources in another school or department, the
Dean of the school/college which normally teaches the
subject matter must be consulted.
This consultation should
include the following el~ments: First, some effort should
be made to analyze the nature of the skills required.
Then, the affected department should also be asked to
suggest alternative ways of providing the desired level of
instruction to students.
No specific course may become a
requirement until the affected department has agreed to
provide suitable instruction for the number of students
involved.
All parties involved must recognize that once an agreement
regarding course requirements is reached, it will be
subject to change if for example, shrinking.resources .make
it impossible for the course to be offered.
In such instances,
both units will need to reexamine the requirement and its
objectives and consider alternate ways to assure that students
in the program satisfy the requirement.
(
If problems arise that cannot be resolved at the school or
college level, they should be referred to the Office of the
Academic Vice President for review.
2.
When a department agrees to provide specialized courses or
space in normally offered courses to satisfy requirements
set by the faculty of another school/college, it cannot
unilaterally reallocate those resources for its own pur-
poses.
Discussions of reallocation must involve the affected
program, its Dean and the Academic Vice President.
3.
_If equitable arrangements cannot be reached on issues
pertaining to programmatic requirements that cross college
boundaries, the matter will be forwarded to the Vice
President for Academic Affairs for resolution.

Subject:
Proposed Changes to Policies of the Board of Trustees
In the fall of 1981 and spring of 1982, the University
Faculty Senate passed a number of proposed changes to the Poli-
cies of the Board of Trustees which were in keeping with the
reorganization plan of the Senate which '"as initiated the pre-
vious year.
These changes were adopted by the Board of Trustees at
their November meeting and are hereby transmitted to the campuses
for ratification in accordance with.Article VII, Title G of the
Policies which.says in part " ..• Amendments, in such form asap-
proved by ~~e Board, shall become effective if ratified by the
professional staff of a majority of ~~e State-operated units and
Contract Colleges, by secret ballot, within such time period not
in excess of one year as may be fixed by the Board of Trustees."
These changes are not earth shaking in their impact but
necessary to the process.
A brief synopsis follows:
1.
Recognized the reality of "the contract" and states
the present purposes of the Senate.
2.
Readjusted representation to include allprofessional
staff members in the "base" and keeps the total number of Senators
the same.
Health Science Centers at Buffalo and Stony Brook are
included in the total representation of the units.
3.
Revli tten and condensed--no sub'sta tial change.
4.
Change of title to Vice President/Secretary and
clears up language.
5.
Bracketed material is deleted--underlined material
is new.

latest. · This will enable us to implemen-t some bylaw changes-
