                                  Senate Resolution

                                Executive Document #1

                                       May 1987







           WHEREAS the present Policy on Academic Eligibility is unfair to

           students, is difficult for students and faculty advisors to

           understand, and cannot be uniformly implemented; and



           WHEREAS it is the responsibility of the Faculty Senate to

           "develop institutional policy and procedure in academic matters"

           that is fair and enhances the academic climate at UNCA; and



           WHEREAS the Admissions Committee, the Academic Policies

           Committee and full Senate have studied, debated and carried on

           dialogue with the administration for five years, resulting in

           documents approved by the Senate in 1983, 1984 and 1986; and



           WHEREAS the Chancellor has not approved any improvement to the

           Academic Eligibility Policy,



           BE IT RESOLVED that the Senate requests the Chancellor respond

           to the whole Senate at its September, 1987 meeting, explaining

           his specific objections to Senate Document #10 passed this year.

           The object of this dialogue shall be to arrive at a mutually

           acceptable policy to be written by the 1987-88 Academic Policies

           Committee.
