THE UNIVER_SITY

Bernardin to Receive Laetare Medal

joseph Cardinal Bernardin, archbishop of Chicago, will receive the 1995 Laetare Medal during Notre Dame's 150th commencement exercises.

A native of Columbia, S.C., Bernardin was ordained a priest in the diocese of Charleston in 1952 and served there for 14 years. Appointed auxiliary bishop of Atlanta in 1966 by Pope Paul VI, he became, at 37, the youngest bishop in the country. Elected general secretary of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops (NCCB) and the United States Catholic Conference (USCC) in 1968, he oversaw the organizing of the episcopal conference ac­cording to norms established by the Second Vatican Council. He was appointed archbishop of Cincinnati in 1972, serving there for 10 years before being appointed archbishop of Chicago. He was appointed to the college of cardinals in 1983.

Bernardin was president of the NCCB/USCC from 1974 to 1977 and has been among the episcopal conference's most active and visible members. He was the principal architect of the American bishops' controversial 1983 let­ter, "The Challenge of Peace: God's Promise and Our Re­sponse," which questioned several assumptions under­pinning national policy on the use of nuclear weapons.

A He has been a prominent expositor of the Catholic 'V church's "seamless garment" teaching on life which ethi­

cally links such issues as abortion, embryo experimenta­tion, euthanasia, capital punishment and warfare.

Alliance for Catholic Education Receives Koob Merit Award

The Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) has been named the 1995 recipi·ent of the National Catholic Educa­tional Association's (NCEA) C. Albert Koob Merit Award for significant contributions to Catholic education.

ACE was established a year ago to provide committed Catholic teachers for understaffed parochial schools and to provide recent college graduates with intensive teacher training and opportunities for Christian community and personal growth. NCEA, along with the U.S. Catholic Conference's Department of Education, have collaborated with Notre Dame in launching the program. Also a part­ner institution is the University of Portland, which oper­ates teacher training and master's in education degree programs for ACE _participants.

The teacher ttaining component of ACE was the recipient last year of one of the original Americorps grants from

-the National Service Corporation.

Jaksic Appointed Assistant Provost for International Studies

Ivan Jaksic, associate professor of history and faculty fel­low in the Kellogg Institute for International Studies, has been appointed to the newly created post of assistant pro­vost for international studies, effective June 15.

He will coordinate 15 undergraduate international study programs, plus programs in law and business; interna­tionally oriented research institutes including Kellogg, the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, and the Center for Civil and Human Rights; area studies and lan­guage development programs at Notre Dame and abroad; library collections; international conferences and sympo­sia; visitor and exchange programs; and international fel­lowships and internships for faculty and students.

Raised in Chile, Jaksic was an international student in the United States and has integrated his academic career with administration of international programs at the Univer­sity of California, Berkeley, and the University of Wiscon­sin, Milwaukee. While at Wisconsin he was instrumental in establishing an international study program in Chile in which Notre Dame now participates. He also has been a member of the Fulbright Program advisory board.

Jaksic was associate professor of history and director of the Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, from 1989 to 1994. He was asso­ciated with the University of California, Berkeley, and Stanford University in a variety of position from 1982 to 1989, including vice chair of Berkeley's Center for Latin American Studies. He formerly was assistant professor of history at the State University of New York, Buffalo, where he earned his master's and doctoral degrees in his­tory in 1981. He also earned a master's degree in Ameri­can studies at that university in 1978, and did his under­graduate work in the philosophy department of the Universidad de Chile.

JaksiC's research interests are modern Latin American in­tellectual and political history, Latin American philoso­phy and higher education, and Chile. He is the author or editor of four books, with a fifth in preparation, and has contributed more than 30 articles to scholarly publications.

In 1991 he was chosen as the personal representative of the secretary general of the Organization of American States to assist in selecting a recipient for the Gabriela Mistral Prize, an award honoring outstanding contribu­tions to Latin American education and thought. He was named a year later one of a small group of civilians called upon to address Central American military leaders on the necessity of making respect for human rights an essential component of military training.

e 260th Graduate Council Minutes February 15, 1995

Members present: Anthony K. Hyder, chair; Terrence J. Akai; Harold W. Attridge; John C. Cavadini; Michael Detlefsen; Peter Diffley; Gregory E. Dowd; Morton S. Fuchs; DavidS. Hachen; Anthony N. Michel; Thomas J. Mueller; Thomas L. Nowak; James H. Powell; Barbara E. Schmitz; Andrew J. Sommese; Barbara M. Turpin; John J. Uhran Jr.; Edward C. Wingenbach

Members absent and excused: Francis J. Castellino, rep­resented by Charles F. Kulpa Jr.; Christopher S. Hamlin; Jeffrey C. Kantor; John G. Keane, represented by Edward R. Trubac; Gloria-Jean Masciarotte; Scott E. Maxwell; Robert C. Miller; Sharon L. O'Brien; Barbara M. Turpin; Stephen H. Watson

Observer: Diane R. Wilson

Dr. Anthony Hyder, associate vice president for graduate studies and research, chaired the meeting in place of Dean Nathan Hatch, who is on leave for the spring se­mester. Dr. Hyder called the meeting to order at 3:35 p.m. on February 15, 1995, in room 210 of the Center for Continuing Education. He explained that the agenda was

A brief because of the joint meeting with the University V Committee on Research and Sponsored Programs that

was scheduled to begin at 4:15 p.m.

I. MINUTES OF THE 259th GRADUATE COUNCIL MEETING

The minutes of the 259th Graduate Council Meeting were approved by voice vote.

II. CHANGES IN RULES FOR MAXIMAL REGISTRATION

Dr. Terrence Akai introduced to the council a recommen­dation from the Graduate School to modify the language about maximal registration in the Graduate School Bulle­tin. He explained that current policy states a maximal registration of 12 credit hours of formal courses at the graduate level; in addition, graduate and research assis­tants are limited to nine credit hours of formal courses. He recommended removing the special restrictions for graduate and research assistants, because of the wide variation in practices and work requirements for those as­sistants; however, the general limit of 12 credit hours would be retained as a guideline.

467

Prof. Morton Fuchs commented that the removal of spe­cial limits for assistants was sensible. He gave an example in which the nine-hour limit is easily exceeded by a stu­dent taking two three-credit courses and one other course that is listed at four credits because of an included labora­tory. Prof. Michael Detlefsen suggested that even the 12-credit limit be relaxed, especially for programs with high course credit requirements. Prof. Detlefsen agreed to a suggestion by Dr. Akai to use "should" or "normally" in a statement about maximal registration to indicate more clearly that the given limit is a guideline.

Dr. Akai asked the graduate student representatives to the council for their views on the matter. Mr. Edward Wingenbach asked for examples in which current ~redit limits might be exceeded. Dr. Akai described some de­partmental practices in which first-year students take 12 hours of coursework even though they hold assistant­ships. He explained that the work load for assistantships in such cases was relatively low (eight hours per week) and that the coursework was necessary in highly struc­tured programs to acquire core courses or prerequisites for later courses. Experience has shown that these practices are not excessive.

Dr. Peter Diffley noted that it is against the interests of departments to place undue burdens on their graduate students. Dean Harold Attridge noted that the upper limit on the work load for assistantships was 17.5 hours. Prof. Fuchs asked if there should be a mechanism to pre­vent abuses arising from excessive course loads. Prof. An­drew Sommese advised against protections against prob­lems that do not appear to exist; rather, he recommended monitoring of departmental practices to see if problems do arise. Prof. Thomas Nowak added that some of the better students ask for higher course loads so that they could move through their programs more quickly.

Dean Attridge suggested that the council vote on the rec­ommendation to remove the special credit hour limits for graduate and research assistants and to retain 12 credit hours as a general guideline; the Graduate School would monitor resulting practices to see if any protective mechanisms should be devised. Dr. Hyder asked if the suggestion could be taken as a motion to approve the rec­ommendation. Dean Attridge agreed, Dr. Diffley sec­onded the motion, and the recommendation was ap­proved by voice vote.

DocuMENTATION

III. IMPLEMENTATION OF REVISIONS TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL BULLETIN

Dr. Hyder asked Ms. Diane Wilson to report to the coun­cil on the Graduate School's progress in implementing the recommendations by the Kantor committee on revi­sions of the Graduate School Bulletin. Ms. Wilson ex­plained that the major mechanisms were the departmen­tal guides for graduate students. She had created a tem­plate for departments to use in revising or creating their guides. The template drew attention to topics that now had to be addressed by the departments. The resulting document would be subject to approval by the Graduate School, would be comprehensive, and would serve as the official reference for policies and procedures.

Most of the first drafts of the new department guides were reviewed by the Graduate School staff and returned to the departments. Final drafts (due March 1, 1995) would be used to make sure that information in the 1995-96 Graduate School Bulletin is consistent with infor­mation in the guides. Ms. Wilson noted that, although departments now have greater autonomy in defining their programs, they did not make major changes. The notable additions in the new guides were that more pro­cedures were defined.

Dr. Hyder called a recess at 3:55 p.m. to await the arrival of Provost Timothy O'Meara, Dean Nathan Hatch and members of the University Committee on Research and Sponsored Programs (UCRSP).

IV. PROVOST'S REPORT ON THE REVIEW OF DEAN NATHAN HATCH

The meeting reconvened at 4:15 p.m. as a joint session with the UCRSP for a report by Provost Timothy O'Meara on the review of Dean Nathan Hatch. The Graduate Council (including some UCRSP members) was joined by Prof. O'Meara, Dean Hatch and the following UCRSP members: David Kirkner, Marvin Miller, Thomas L. Sweeney, Arvind Varma, Jerry C. Wei.

Prof. O'Meara reminded the group that Dean Hatch's ap­pointment was not a term appointment; however, peri­odic assessments are done. Prof. O'Meara stated that he had discussed the review committee's report with Father Malloy and that the report was generally favorable. Prof. O'Meara expressed his own and the faculty's high opin­ion of Dean Hatch, and described him as a scholar with high integrity. He also listed Dean Hatch's resonance with the overall mission of Notre Dame, the significant advances made by the Graduate School, the focus that was brought to graduate education, and persistence in

468

seeking new resources among the positive attributes. As an example, Prof. O'Meara cited the University's decision to increase resources for graduate studies by $2 million over the next five years, ahead of the anticipated sched­ule. On the research side, Prof. O'Meara noted that there was still work to be done and that new monies were not made available to the same extent as they were for gradu­ate studies.

In response to Prof. O'Meara's summary, Dean Hatch stated his appreciation of Prof. O'Meara's comments. He said that the review appeared to be fair and thorough, and that there were always things to learn from such a process. He quickly noted some areas of continuing con­cern in graduate studies, such as placement, health insur­ance and funding of graduate students beyond their fourth year. He said that several areas must be addressed on the research side, in particular, removing barriers to the faculty and seeking new sources of funding, especially in the difficult climate that now exists.

Dean Hatch expressed his confidence in the soundness of the research infrastructure, but pointed to capitalization, resource matching, grant development and initiation, and acquisition and restoration of equipment as areas that need more attention.

The big challenge in graduate studies, according to Dean Hatch, is to determine where new monies should go. He stated that the Graduate School has already been engaged in a major assessment of doctoral programs and will work with college deans and departments to develop and coor­dinate strategic plans for the future.

Prof. O'Meara again commented that Dean Hatch re­ceived a superb assessment in the review. He also re­ported that assessment of graduate programs occupied a full day at a recent Provost's Advisory Committee retreat. One paradigm for allocations on the basis of such assess­ments is to give more to the strong and less to the weak; Prof. O'Meara said that he preferred to reward depart­ments with the best plans for moving forward.

Prof. Fuchs asked what the policy was for providing matching funds. Dean Hatch replied that the traditional procedure is for faculty to ask for those funds with no prioritization at the dean's level. In the future, depart­ments and deans would be asked to prioritize requests as an aid to assessing their worth. In response to a question from Prof. Marvin Miller about nontraditional ways of in­creasing funding, Dr. Hyder cited stronger industry part­nerships as potentially beneficial mechanisms.

The joint session ended at 4:35 p.m. with a round of ap­plause for Dean Hatch.
