             TO:  APC, Faculty Senate, Vice Chancellor Rackham,

                  Chancellor Brown



           FROM:  Ted Uldricks



           DATE:  April 29, 1987



           SUBJ:  Revised Protocol to MLA Program Proposal







           The following should be considered part of the Master of Liberal

           Arts degree program proposal which the Senate and administration

           are asked to approve:



           Faculty teaching a three credit hour course in the Master of

           Liberal Arts program (excluding tutorials and double listed

           graduate/undergraduate courses) will receive six hours of credit

           in calculating their teaching loads (i.e., they will carry a

           nine hour load during the semester the graduate level course is

           taught).  This is necessary for class preparation and research

           related activities.  The result will create a form of faculty

           development that should result in more rigorous graduate level

           courses, a higher level of research and publication, and general

           faculty renewal that carries over to undergraduate instruction.











           NOTE:  1) Approved as Senate Document #2, 5/7/87;



                  2) This protocol is NOT to accompany the MLA

                     proposal to General Administration.
