Abstract

This was the first fall of President Robert Eckley's time in office. The first part of the recording is an open Q&A session, followed by division-based reports. There are frequent references to a recent North Central reaccreditation visit in this meeting. In a memo distributed a day later President Eckley notes that the North Central visit and the recent changes in the general education requirements indicate "the importance of a re-assessment of our departmental-divisional-university structural relationships." His proposal formed a structure with three colleges: Liberal Arts, Fine Arts and Applied Arts.

Speakers include President Robert Eckley; Robert Harrington, Business & Economics; Justus Pearson, Humanities; Wayne Wantland, Natural Sciences; Emily Dale, Social Sciences; John Ficca, Art & Drama; Richard Hishman, Music; and Mary Shanks, Nursing.
