AGENDA
Respectfully submitted by Keith R. Kleckner for the Steering Committee.
A. Old Business:
1. Motion from the University Committee on Undergraduate Instruction pertaining to graduation requirements (Messrs. Dawson and Akers).
Item A.I. from the agenda of March 11, 1982.
a. Main Motion
MOVED that the graduation requirements�general education, major, and overall degree�for an undergraduate student shall be those stated in the University catalog extant at the time of graduation unless the student specifies an earlier catalog. The specified catalog may not pre-date the first semester or session of the student's matriculation, and may not be more than six years old at the time of graduation. Undergraduate students who return to the University after not having been enrolled for three consecutive fall and winter semesters or who change enrollment from one school or college to another may not follow the requirements in a catalog earlier than that in effect at the time of their return to the University or change of enrollment. Upon petition of individual students, Committees on Instruction or their equivalent groups are authorized to make exceptions to these regulations.
b. Amendment (Mr. Dawson; Ms. Briggs-Bunting)
Delete, the final sentence of the main motion.
c (Mr. Grossman; Ms. Gerulaitis)
Delete the next-to-last sentence of the main motion.
d. Substitute Motion (Mr. Appleton)
MOVED that the graduation requirements--general education, major, and overall degree�for an undergraduate student shall be those stated in the University catalog extant at the time of graduation unless the student specifies an earlier catalog. The specified catalog may not predate the first semester or session of the student's matriculation at Oakland University and may not be more than six years old at the time of graduation. In addition, any school or college is free to specify that students changing enrollment into one of its programs from another school or college, or from undecided status, may not follow the requirements in a catalog earlier than that in effect at the time of this change in enrollment.
Comment: Our parliamentarian advises the Steering Committee that the correct order of procedure is as follows:
1. Friends of the main motion have the right to perfect it by the process of amendment, after which
2. friends of the substitute motion have the right to perfect it by the process of amendment so that the Senate may observe the final form of each resolution; then
3. the Senate votes whether to substitute the substitute motion for the main motion. If the vote is positive, a vote is taken on the new principal motion; but, if the vote is negative,
4. the Senate proceeds to vote on the main motion.
Second Reading: Debatable, amendable, and eligible for final vote at this meeting.
