Annual Activities Report 2009-20010 Graduate Academic Board May 1 2010

The Graduate Academic Board was successful in addressing their goals for 2009-10 academic year by the following activities: 1. GAB participated in continuing to revise the Curriculum Handbook submitted last year. There has been excellent coordination between UAB and GAB. 2. GAB was involved with the Office of Academic Affairs and the Office of the Registrar to review policies and procedures for their impacts on academics. Motions were presented or developed numerous times during the year regarding registration and records procedures, graduation policies and catalog content. GAB also coordinated with the Graduate Academic Board and the Graduate School office to insure full communication and participation in these decisions. There was excellent coordination between GAB, UAB, GC, OAA and the registrar’s office in these matters. 3. GAB was successful in its goal to continue to encourage departmental participation in the plan for curriculum updates in preparation for 2010 accreditation visits. The chair of GAB continued to meet jointly with the UAB chair and OAA’s Bart Quimby to plan notification of remaining departments and programs about needed curriculum updates. 4. GAB did not create a subgroup to Review Doctoral Proposals according to the Doctoral Program Proposal Criteria and report back to the GAB. It was decided that the Graduate Council’s review committees had done comprehensive in-depth reviews and a board member, who is also a member of the Graduate Council, would present those findings to the Graduate Academic Board. The full proposals, doctoral review criteria, and GC’s full committee review reports were made available and the Graduate Council liason to GAB responded to discussion of the matter. GAB approved the concept of both first-round proposals for doctoral programs presented this spring. The two proposals are the Doctor of Nurse Practitioner and the Doctor of Educational Leadership. 5. GAB did support establishment of the GAB/UAB Subcommittee on Assessment. GAB worked with the organizing committee representatives, the UAB chair and Bart Quimby from the Office of Academic Affairs to review a set of Bylaws developed by the committee. Those bylaws are currently before the Faculty for a vote of approval. The committee has begun development of the Assessment Handbook as directed in the committee’s charge. This spring an official election of members was included in the Faculty Senate ballot.
