- Recommendation form Academic Affairs for a Proposal to revise Rule 15.a (Exhibit Z) as follows:
M E M O R A N D U M
TO: Ken Struckmeyer, Executive Secretary Faculty Senate
FROM: Becky Bitter, Registrar’s Office
FOR: Academic Affairs Committee
DATE: 22 March 2013
SUBJECT: Proposal to Revise Rule 15.a
At its meeting on March 20, 2013, AAC approved a proposal to revise Rule 15.a. The Registrar’s Office collaborated on this revision with the Provost’s Office, the Department of Mathematics, the Office of Admissions, and the Center for Advising and Career Development. The proposal is presented below.
This change will allow students who are admitted to WSU with examination credit to choose to take the course at WSU and to have the credits awarded at the time of Admission omitted. Historically, some students have needed to take a particular course at WSU either to ensure good preparation for the next course or the major, or to meet requirements set by an outside educational institution which requires that the credits be taken at WSU rather than awarded as examination credit.
In the past, these requests were made through an informal process. We propose to codify this process in the rule governing credit by examinations. Please see the underlined text in the rule below for the proposed addition.
Rule 15.a
CREDIT BY EXAMINATIONS. Subject to standards established in consultation with academic departments concerned, credit may be granted to entering or enrolled undergraduate students via various means including external examinations, institutional examinations, and approved military service schools. WSU does not accept credit by exam granted by other institutions. Credits by examination shall yield no grade points. Such credits may partially fulfill University Common Requirements (UCOREs) for graduation. External examinations will include but not be limited to:
Advanced Placement (AP) Program examinations of the College Entrance Examinations Board; general and subject College Level Examination Program (CLEP); and the International Baccalaureate (IB).
Students may request to take a course at WSU for which they have been awarded AP, IB, or CLEP credit. Prompted by the request, the AP, IB, or CLEP credit is removed from the overall credits awarded by WSU. Only the subsequent enrollment in the WSU course will contribute to the total hours earned and grade point average; the AP, IB, or CLEP credit cannot be reconsidered for credit for the same course again. Students submit the request to ask for the WSU course to be allowed and for the AP credit to be omitted to the Registrar’s Office. The form is available online at (link to be given after form is developed).
If adopted, the Registrar’s Office will develop a form that will be available to students who wish to request this action, and for departmental advisors to reference.
Note that this practice is in keeping with the standards followed at many institutions.
At this time, Faculty Senate review and approval is recommended, to be effective fall 2013.

*****
- Approved changes to the Graduate School Policy and Procedures Manual (Exhibits U, U1). P. David.as follows:
- Exhibits U and U1 hard copies are attached. *****
- Approved changes to the Faculty Manual (Exhibits CI, DI). K. Rodgers as follows:
Exhibit C1
At the Faculty Affairs meeting of March 22, 2013 the following was approved. We are proposing the following change to Section lll.29 be approved by the Senate.
Current wording in FM:
- Promotional Adjustment
When a faculty member is promoted, his or her salary will be increased by no less than 4 percent of his or her annual salary, or 2 percent of the average Washington State University faculty salary, whichever is greater, starting with the effective date of the promotion. This adjustment will be made regardless of the level of funding for salary increases and will be in addition to any other merit, equity, marketplace, or cost-of-living adjustments made to the faculty member’s salary.
Proposed change to FM:
When a faculty member is promoted, his or her salary will be increased by no less than 10 percent of his or her annual salary, starting with the effective date of the promotion. This adjustment will be made regardless of the level of funding for salary increases and will be in addition to any other merit, equity, marketplace, or cost-of-living adjustments made to the faculty member’s salary. For most state-funded positions 8% is provided by the university and the other 2% is the responsibility of the department.
Rationale:
The faculty manual (Section III.29) is out of date with regard to the percentages for faculty promotion. For some time, the university has been using a 10% increase for faculty promotions.
Exhibit D1
At the meeting of Faculty Affairs on March 22, 2013 the following wording changes to the Faculty Manual were approved. At this time Senate approval is requested.
Please place the following items on the agenda for the next Faculty Senate meeting.
- FAC proposes changes to FM which apply to the termination of pre-tenure tenure-track faculty [Section III. F. (Termination of Employment) 1. (Nonreappointment)]. The sentence appears on p. 77 of the online Manual (whole PDF version).
- Current sentence: “This decision shall be made by the department Chair in consultation with the Dean and tenured members of the department involved.”
- Proposed revision: “This decision shall be made by the department Chair with the approval of the Dean and following consultation with tenured members of the department involved.”
- Justification: Requiring approval by the Dean will provide more protection against an arbitrary decision of termination by the department Chair than the current wording allows. With the new wording at least two people will have to agree that termination is in order. With the old wording a unilateral decision can be made. Both versions require that the tenured members of the department be consulted. There is no change in the role of the faculty.
- FAC proposes changes to FM to update the language for consistency and legality. At the request of FAC, Ann Heath, Assistant Attorney General, suggested changes (see attachment). On 3-22-13 FAC approved these recommended changes to the FM. The attached memorandum from Ann Heath specifies the proposed changes.

- Recommendation from Academic Affairs for the proposal for a Professional Certificate in Global Animal Health (Exhibits C C1). C. Parks as follows:
TO: Ken Struckmeyer, Executive Secretary Faculty Senate
FROM: Becky Bitter, Sr. Assistant Registrar, Registrar’s Office
DATE: 5 April 2013
SUBJECT: Proposal to Establish a Professional Certificate in Global Animal Health Pathway
At the meeting on April 3, 2013, the Academic Affairs Committee approved a proposal from the College of Veterinary Medicine for a new professional certificate in Global Animal Health Pathway.
The rationale and requirements for the new certificate is attached. At this time, Faculty Senate review and approval is recommended, to be effective fall 2013.
PROPOSAL FOR A NEW PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATE IN GLOBAL ANIMAL HEALTH
Rationale:
The Paul G. Allen School for Global Animal Health (Allen School) is establishing a new Global Animal Health Pathway (GAHP) designed specifically for veterinary students at Washington State University (WSU). The goal of the GAHP is to inform and educate veterinary students about the critical role that animal health has in global health, economic disparities, and the impact of disease control at the animal-human interface. The Allen School with cooperation from and in partnership with the University of Washington (UW), Department of Global Health, Schools of Medicine and Public Health, will provide a unique educational opportunity for WSU veterinary students to develop an understanding of the fundamental role that animals play in global health and the impact veterinarians can have on global health challenges.
Global Health is an increasingly important interdisciplinary field. More than 65 percent of recent major disease outbreaks in humans originated in animal hosts, with a disproportionate impact on people in low income countries. Global health acknowledges that health problems as well as their solutions transcend boundaries both geographically and among health professions. The Allen School at Washington State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine is committed to providing innovative strategies for the treatment and control of infectious diseases that affect human health and economic development. Our scientists are working daily to resolve public health and global poverty challenges by detecting emerging pathogens and disease, controlling the transmission of disease from animals to humans, and developing and deploying vaccines to control major vector-borne diseases in livestock. The Allen School is dedicated to pioneering solutions to global health challenges through research, education, global outreach, and application of disease control at the animal-human interface.
The GAHP will provide interested veterinary students an environment where they will understand the impact the veterinary profession and veterinarians can have on global health, and where they can become prepared to recognize the challenges related to global animal health. As a certificate pathway within veterinary medical education, engaged students will be expected to augment their veterinary curriculum with the GAHP requirements in order to develop a “global health” focus to their veterinary education. Furthermore, the GAHP will prepare students, as global citizens, to synthesize information and develop solutions to critical global health concerns. Students will earn a Global Animal Health Certificate in addition to their DVM professional degree.
The GAHP will provide an innovative structure to embed global health training in the curriculum of veterinary students and foster interdisciplinary student interactions across the professions. The program addresses a significant gap in awareness of the interdependencies of health with ecology, economics, nutrition, media and politics in a global society. Through the partnership with UW we expect increased collaborative efforts of professionals from synergistic academic disciplines. The foundation coursework will enhance the student knowledge base to develop competency in multidisciplinary and multicultural perspectives of global health.
The GAHP will build on the strengths of the international research and training expertise of the faculty and, by intercalation into the core professional curriculum will increase the skill-set of students to impact global health. The GAHP expands opportunities for and competencies of veterinarians in reducing global health disparities through intervention at the animal-human interface.
Curriculum:
The Global Animal Health Pathway (GAHP) requires a minimum of 15 course credits to earn a certificate. These credits will be satisfied through both required and elective courses: 4 credits will be satisfied through required coursework, 6 credits (minimum) will be satisfied through the required GAH Project, and the remaining credits, up to 5, will be satisfied through elective courses or additional project work. Elective credits may be obtained from courses offered by WSU, and on-line courses offered through the University of Washington Global Health Pathway that are approved for the GAHP. Required courses and approved elective courses are listed below. Students wishing to enroll in the GAHP program must maintain a minimum satisfactory level or 3.00 gpa in graded professional coursework and remain in the upper 75% of the DVM class.
REQUIRED COURSES (4 credits):
- VM 501P – International Veterinary Medicine (1 credit): An introductory, team- taught one credit elective course which provides a broad orientation toward global health and international veterinary medicine. Offered during fall semester. (DVM Curriculum, Year 1)
- VM597P (Section 6) – Introduction to Global Health (1 credit) – this course includes content from the University of Washington GH 501 course, which is available via video conference during Fall semester. Additional discussion is incorporated into the class to address issues specific to Global Animal Health. (Year 2)
- VM 576P – Emerging and Exotic Animal Diseases (1 credit, core): The 1-credit required DVM course has replaced the previous course (Foreign Animal Diseases) from spring semester 2011. The course includes on-line content provided by the Center for Food Security and Public Health at Iowa State University, coupled with on-site (CVM) presentations. (DVM Curriculum, Year 3)
- VM 600P – Scientific Writing and Presentation (1 credit, 4th yr. core) – The GAHP students will utilize this course as an Independent Investigative Inquiry, a global health related project and presentation. (DVM Curriculum, Year 4)
REQUIRED GLOBAL ANIMAL HEALTH PROJECT (6 credits minimum):
All GAHP students will be required to complete a global animal health project. The student will work with an Allen School faculty mentor to design a project, which may be completed in conjunction with a project team outside the Allen School. The project must be oriented toward global animal health and be approved by the GAHP Advisory Committee. The student will register for VM 600P (Scientific Writing and Presentation – required in DVM curriculum, see above under required courses) for project write-up and presentation. The student will devote at least 6 weeks (6 credits) during one summer to complete this requirement and should register for one or more of the following WSU courses to meet the required course credit.
- VM 504P – Global Studies (1-6 credits). Externship with a global animal health focus taken during the summer after the 1st and/or 2nd DVM year. The students receive 1 credit for 1 week of externship (40hr/wk.).
OR
- VM 599P – Global Animal Health Special Problems (elective – variable credit 1-8 credits) This mentored independent study or research practicum will focus on the skills necessary to prepare for or conduct a global animal health project.
OR
- VM 676P – Veterinary Research Practicum (1-8 credits). Externship with a global animal health focus taken during the 4th DVM year. The students receive 1 credit for 1 week of externship (40hr/wk.).
OR
- VM 690P – Student Initiated Professional Experience (SIPE, 2-4 credits, 4th core) – The GAHP students would utilize this course during their 4th year as an Independent Investigative Inquiry related to global animal health by working within the United States on a relevant global health project.
ELECTIVE COURSES (up to 5 additional credits):
Elective course credits may be earned through formal classroom instruction during any semester or summer session and/or through the completion of an additional summer project. A veterinary student may elect to take courses that focus on various aspects of global animal health offered at any of WSU’s individual Colleges and Departments or at the University of Washington’s Global Health Program, with the approval of the GAHP Coordinator. Depending upon the course(s) selected, the student would work with the GAHP Coordinator, WSU Education Abroad (EA), CVM Student Affairs, SIPE course coordinator/staff or other coordinator or course director outside the CVM, as appropriate. Please note that students cannot take courses that conflict with the required DVM coursework.
The following courses are approved to contribute to the remaining credit hours required to earn a certificate. Some of the courses listed above as options for the major GAH project are also options that can be used for an additional elective project.
- VM597P (Section 5) – Animal Human Disease Interface (1 credit) – This course focuses on understanding the role of veterinary medicine at the animal-human interface in solving global health challenges, the multidisciplinary nature of global health, and disease transmission from animal reservoirs to humans.
- SPAN 362 Topics in Professional Language (Spanish for DVM students) (3 credits) Specialized language training; may include Spanish for health professionals, law enforcement personnel, veterinarians and other areas.
- SPAN 405 Advanced Conversations (Spanish for DVM students) (1 credits) Advanced-level conversation practice in small groups with a native speaker.
- VM 504P – Global Studies (1-6 credits). Externship with a global animal health focus taken during the summer after the 1st and/or 2nd DVM year. The students receive 1 credit for 1 week of externship (40hr/wk.). This course is not repeatable and can only be used as an elective if not being used for Global Animal Health Project credit.
- VM 599P – Global Animal Health Special Problems (1-8 credits) – This mentored independent study or research practicum will focus on the skills necessary to prepare for or conduct a global animal health project.
- VM 676P – Veterinary Research Practicum (1-8 credits). Externship with a global animal health focus taken during the 4th DVM year. The students receive 1 credit for 1 week of externship (40hr/wk.).
- VM 690P – Student Initiated Professional Experience (SIPE, 2-4 credits, 4th core) – The GAHP students would utilize this course in the fourth year as an Independent
Investigative Inquiry related to global animal health by working within the United States on a relevant global health project.
Foreign Language Skills
A foreign language is not required, but is highly recommended. The foreign language proficiency provides students with an in-depth understanding of cultural and contextual elements critical to working in the field of global animal health. Further, foreign language proficiency will increase the graduate’s competitiveness for global health career opportunities upon graduation.
