Approved the following statement to be presented to the Assembly and Provost:

Recommendation for Re-examining Evaluation of Teaching at EOU
The Academic Standards Committee recently discussed the evaluation of teaching methods at Eastern Oregon University. We strongly feel the current process is flawed and needs to be revamped. However, this task is beyond the scope of this committee so we suggest the appointment of an appropriate authority to oversee a re-examination of the teaching evaluation process. We recommend focusing on the following areas:

Agreed to re-examine the Graduation with Distinction policy during the 2005-06 school year.

Expressed and discussed concern over the methods of evaluation of teaching at Eastern Oregon University. Agreed that the revamping of this process was well beyond the capability of the committee, but useful recommendations could be provided by the committee.

Updated Academic Honesty Code developed by Academic Standards Committee last school year. Since then the Code had been approved by the Student Affairs Committee. The next step is approving the new code at each College and then the Assembly. Below are the links to proposals:
