Comment by the provost on November 10, 2000: "The Office
of the Executive Vice President and Provost continues
to explore various options. A final decision has not
yet been reached." In a letter dated October 12, 2001,
President Faulkner made the following comments:
"A close reading of our current credit by examination
policies, as well as the proposal, raises several concerns.
"In supporting the removal of letter grades earned in
credit by examination from the UT Austin grade-point
average, the proposal itself comments that credit by
examination does not reflect a student's performance
in coursework at UT Austin. Beyond that issue is a question
about inconsistency between the way in which a final
grade is normally determined in coursework at UT Austin
and the way in which the grade is determined in credit
by examination. In coursework, the final grade is almost
always the result of multiple factors (tests, papers,
attendance, participation, etc.). In credit by examination,
the grade is the result of a single test.
"These and other issues still need to be considered
as regards the granting of credit by examination. I
am asking the Executive Vice President and Provost to
appoint a special committee to address the issues and
prepare a report. I will hold the current proposal (Documents
of the General Faculty 77-81), pending the report of
that committee."
"There is, however, an inequity in our current
policies that I believe must be addressed now. For the
final grade in coursework at UT Austin, the student
must choose between a letter grade or "Credit"
(for pass/fail) by the mid-semester drop deadline, i.e.,
well before the final grade is determined. For credit
by examination, however, the student is permitted to
delay the choice of letter grade or "Credit"
for an indefinite period until he or she knows the grade
and knows how that grade might affect the grade-point
average.
"To eliminate this inequity, I am considering
the following changes in policy:
"1.
Beginning September 1, 2002, a student attempting
credit by examination through a University of Texas
at Austin test will be required to make the choice
of letter grade or "Credit" prior to taking
the examination (i.e., where that choice has been
made available by the department offering the examination).
"2.
This policy alone would give an advantage to a
student earning credit by examination off campus
when that student retained the choice of letter
grade or "Credit" until after the examination
was completed. Therefore, beginning September 1,
2002, the University will accept credit by examination
earned off campus as CR ["Credit"]
only."
In a memorandum dated August 19, 2002, the provost made
the following comments:
"Rather than
convene a new committee, a decision was made to refer
this issue to the Educational Policy Committee. Professor
Robert Duke, as chair of the Committee, was asked to draft
a proposal for consideration by the President and Provost.
The draft proposal is to be ready for review in September
2002."
The committee returned the proposal to the president and
provost without change.

Transmitted to the provost on May 20, 2003.

2004. Approved by the Faculty Council on a no-protest
basis on March 15, 2004. Transmitted to the provost
on March 24, 2004. At the request of the College of
Liberal Arts, the provost returned the proposal for
revision on April 5, 2004. The legislation was resubmitted
to the Council on April 8, 2004. Approved on a no-protest
basis on April 16, 2004. Transmitted to the provost
on April 19, 2004.
Approved by the Faculty Council at its meeting on December
8, 1997, and transmitted to the president on December
9, 1997. Transmitted to the chancellor by the president
on January 20, 1999, with these comments: "This legislation
was discussed among my office, the Office of the Provost,
and members of the Faculty Council Executive Committee.
It puts into the Regents' Rules what has been the
practice at The University of Texas at Austin. Confidential
consultation with a faculty committee regarding a possible
suspension is guaranteed, but the final determination
is made by the president. This process has worked well
on our campus. I recommend your favorable consideration
of the proposed change. On July 31, 2003, President Faulkner
wrote to then chair of the Faculty Council Michael Granof,
with comments based on an opinion written by W. O. Schultz
(general attorney and associate general counsel of the
University System) on February 3, 2003. The president
wrote as follows: “His opinion is that the proposed
amendment to the Regents’ Rules and Regulations
is not necessary and that the current provisions do not
prevent the President from consulting with the Committee
of Counsel on Academic Freedom and Responsibility. They,
of course, do not mandate the consultation. He suggests
that if The University of Texas at Austin desires to have
the President seek the advice of the Committee of Counsel
on Academic Freedom and Responsibility in the situation
of a faculty member with pay, then an amendment to our
Handbook of Operating Procedures would be sufficient.
His comments seem sensible, particularly since an amendment
to the Regents’ Rules and Regulations would
affect all the UT System component institutions.
“Thus, it seems to me the best course of
action is to share W. O.’s comments with the Executive
Committee of the Faculty Council and ask them to decide
whether or not they wish to revisit this issue and propose
an amendment to UT-Austin’s Handbook of Operating
Procedures.”
Referred by Council Chair Marvin Hackert to the Committee
of Counsel on Academic Freedom and Responsibility on October
9, 2003.The Committee presented a recommendation for change
in the Handbook of Operating Procedures concerning disciplining
of a faculty member at the Council’s meeting on
April 12, 2004. (See D
3208-3209, and D
2539-2541 and D

Revised proposal (D
3125-3127) presented to the Faculty Council at its
meeting on March 22, 2004.
Posted on the Faculty Council Web site
on March 4, 2003. Approved by the Faculty Council on March
17, 2003. The proposal had evolved, through cooperation
with the administration and responses from the UT System,
from a 1999 proposal for modified duties for faculty members
who give birth or have primary responsibility for a newborn
child (see D
938-940). Transmitted to the president on March 18,
2003. The proposal was modified and approved by Provost
Sheldon Ekland-Olson and transmitted to the president
with the following modifications on May 22, 2003:
All teaching load adjustments will be granted in
compliance with equivalencies set out in Part I, Chap
III, Sec. 36.1 and 36.2 of the Regents' Rules
and Regulations;
The revised policy does not provide more benefits
to members of the full-time faculty than are authorized
by the state law or the Regents' Rules and Regulations;
The policy is gender neutral in both its scope and
application in that it applies to all members of the
faculty who are appointed full-time on the instructional
budget in a long-session semester;
The language of the original policy has been modified
so as to insure that the revised policy is consistent
with state law and University policy related to sick
leave; and
The revised policy includes language that assures
that faculty members who are on modified instructional
duties status will render legitimate services to the
University in exchange for their salaries.
A footnote was added to clarify that the policy is not
intended to apply to situations where use of sick leave
is appropriate.
The president approved and transmitted the modified proposal
to the vice chancellor and general counsel on June 3,
2003.
On September 19, 2003, notice was received that the Office
of General Counsel and Executive Vice Chancellor Terry
Sullivan approved the legislation with the caveat that
the policy include the sentence, "All teaching load
modifications will be granted in compliance with the equivalencies
set out in Part One, chapter III, Sections 36.1 and 36.2
of the Regents' Rules and Regulations."

Posted on the Faculty Council Web site
on April 30, 2003. Approved by the Faculty Council at
its meeting on May 5, 2003. The revision resulted from
discussions between the administration and the Committee
of Counsel on Academic Freedom and Responsibility chair.
Transmitted to the provost on May 7, 2003. Transmitted
to the president through the provost in November 2003
(also see D
2360-2362). Disapproved by the president on February
4, 2004, with the following comments:
“The
proposed procedures are problematic in several ways.
“1.
The scope of the proposed policy is too broad
as written. In the second paragraph, for example,
“significant policy violations” are
defined as
…ones in which the
property rights of a faculty member might be taken
away or ones in which other disciplining would occur
to which the faculty member objects.
“Such an open-ended definition could apply
to almost any action taken.
“2.
The proposal calls faro a hearing by a faculty
panel prior to disciplinary action. This policy
is unnecessarily cumbersome. In addition, it is
inadequate for circumstances where there is an urgent
need to act, such as in the cases where another
member of the community is physically threatened
or students are not being taught. There is not always
time to carry out the prior consultation envisioned
here. The current policy allows for necessary discipline
to take place in a timely manner, but also defines
specific procedures for the grievance of any action
taken.
“3.
The proposal disregards the legitimate academic
structure of the University. The normal recourse
of a faculty member who objects to an action taken
at one level (e.g., by a department chair) is to
appeal to the next level (e.g., the dean). For many
reasons, it is not in the interest of the University
community to set aside such recourse and to channel
all disputes into a centralized process separate
from academic structure. No grievance should be
heard in any process like that contemplated here
until an appeal has been heard and acted upon by
the officer next in line who has not participated
in the action.
“4.
The proposal implies a legalistic and adversarial
relationship between administration and faculty.
This undermines a collegial approach, promoting
instead adversarial and protracted proceedings.
“5.
The President should resolve any disagreement
about costs of discovery. The President acts as
the ultimate judge in these matters and it is a
judge’s responsibility to set procedural conditions.
“6.
Provision 12, relating to the presence of observers
in proceedings is unnecessary. According to the
current Handbook of Operating Procedures
(Section 3.18, Subsection V.B):
“All parties, at any level of the grievance
procedure, may be represented or accompanied
by a reasonable number of personally chosen
individuals, including legal counsel.
“That appears to meet the intent of the
proposed provision.
