        Statement of Faculty Senate Action: 



                         FWDC Document #8: (Revision to SD1588S)

        Addition of a UNCA graduate to serve with the University Teaching

        Council in selecting the recipient of the Distinguished Teacher Award.  



        Change in Senate Doc. # 1588S, approved by Chancellor Brown 3-13-88, in

        Handbook A-7, Senate Doc. # 2688S, approved by VCAA Wilson, 4-3-88 



        Add the following sentence to SD1588S, I. H.:  



             A UNCA graduate designated by the UNCA Alumni Association Board

        shall sit with the University Teaching Council in order to solicit broad

        alumni participation in the nomination of the recipient of the

        Distinguished Teacher Award.  The UNCA graduate shall be a voting member

        of the University Teaching Council for the selection of the recipient of

        the award.  

        Effective date:  Spring, 1990.  



        Current rule:  



             Existing University Teaching Council members select the recipient

        of the Distinguished Teacher Award.  



        Rationale:  



             Members of the University Teaching Council feel that alumni have

        worthwhile input into whether a faculty member has a distinguished

        teaching record since alumni are no longer under the pressure of

        receiving grades and have had the advantage of time in evaluating their

        college experience.
