Announcements (Reports).

  1. Remarks by the Chair.—R. Greenberg
    1. Greenberg stated that in meetings with the Administration they expressed their thanks to all the faculty for getting accreditation materials in. The report is available on line. He also stated that the President and Provost have agreed to fund a salary and travel monies for 1 year for Nick Lovrich so he may continue as the Legislative Rep in Olympia while training his replacement. Greenberg has appointed D. Turnbull to be Parliamentarian this year. In discussions with the Provost it was pointed out that there are some editorial changes that need to be made to the Faculty Manual along with some wording that no longer lines up with the current laws. Faculty Affairs will be working on this.
  2. Remarks by Provost Warwick Bayly.
    1. The Provost reminded the faculty that everyone must take the online training in sexual harassment and discrimination. He expressed the importance of this training because of what has happened at other universities. Bayly discussed the research incentive pool of money that has been set aside. One pool will be used to help junior faculty get started on their research another pool will be used for those who are close to securing extramural funding but need a little more data. They are encouraging assistant professors to apply. Bayly said everyone is aware of the ZZUSIS problems and the impact it has had on students, faculty and staff. These problems are being addressed. Lastly Bayly reported the HECB has been replaced by the Student Achievement Board but it is hard to know how different reps from the universities will be appointed or how the group will function.

    1. This was moved from Discussion to Action.
    2. Recommendation from Graduate Studies to Extend the MA in Crm J to DDP Exhibit Cis as follows:

EXTEND A WSU PULLMAN DEGREE PROGRAM

Degree Title: Masters’ of Arts in Criminal Justice

Department(s) or Program(s): Criminal Justice and Criminology

College(s): CLA

Contact Name: David Brody, Chair

email: brody@wsu.edu                                               

phone: 8-7952

  1. DESCRIPTION AND RATIONALE – briefly explain:
    1. Delivery Model:
      1. All courses for the degree will be delivered online through WSU’s Learning Management System.
    2. Rationale for extending the degree:
      1. Market research indicates demand for the degree. Delivering the degree online provides access to qualified place-bound individuals state wide, nationally and internationally.
    3. The collaborative relationship, if any, with other educational partners. None
  2. NEEDS ASSESSMENT – Identify, and explain rationale for, estimates of student demand for the program.
    1. According to a 2011 research report conducted by the market research firm Eduventures, the number of graduate degrees awarded in criminal justice is growing but is still relatively small. There are a high percentage of for-profit and private colleges and universities competing in this market. According to Eduventures, “the pace and penetration of an online criminal justice master’s degree cautions saturation risk,” but the degree does experiences growth year to year. Further, they found that larger public universities (like WSU) appear to be at a competitive advantage in offering a graduate degree in criminal justice. In addition to market research, there is strong support from individuals in a unique position to sustain the program. Don Pierce, Executive Director of Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs and Debbie Mealy, Deputy Director, Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission have written in support of WSU developing and delivering an online master’s degree in criminal justice.
    2. FTE calculation assumes a student average credit load of 6 credits each term based on enrollment history of distance students in graduate level online courses.

***Enrollment estimates are based on information gathered from WSU Criminal Justice Advisory Board, inquiries made to the department from interested potential students, and demand identified by WSU Online.

  1. CURRICULUM – explain and provide rationale for any differences between campus-based and distance programs in:
    1. All learning outcomes and course/program requirements are identical to the on-campus degree.
    2. how university and departmental requirements are satisfied,
      1. The only difference is the mode of delivery and electronic submission of assignments.
    3. the content of required courses.
      1. No difference
  2. RESOURCE ASSESSMENT – Identify basic resources needed to deliver this program online.
    1. Faculty – In order to extend this program to online delivery, what is your faculty hiring plan – both transitionally and long-term – for tenure-track, clinical, adjunct faculty and TAs?
      1. The degree can be developed and implemented with existing faculty and temporary money from CLA and CDPE (development costs). Temporary instructional resources will be provided to support faculty teaching in the new online program. In the first year of delivery 2 online courses will be offered each term, with offerings increasing with demand. Given the department’s current faculty structure and anticipated demand for the program, additional faculty will be needed to meet long-term demand.
    2. Curriculum – What resources will be available to develop and maintain the necessary online courses?
      1. The CrmJ department assigns WSU Faculty to develop and teach the courses that make up the online degree.
      2. WSU Online provides support to faculty in the development and delivery of the online course:
        1. An eLearning Consultant, with expertise in instructional design of online courses will work 1:1 with faculty members developing online courses to ensure that best practices and pedagogical recommendations for successful online learning are understood.
        2. The WSU Online media team will work with faculty to create appropriate media and interactive activities to promote learning and enhance engagement.
        3. The same eLearning Consultant will continue to support the faculty member during delivery as issues unique to the online learning environment arise.
        4. WSU Online provides face to face orientation and trainings and online tutorials to support online instructors.
        5. Managing proctored exams for the course, if needed.
        6. 24/7 technical support.
        7. Ongoing maintenance or updating of courses, each semester of offering is provided by WSU Online.
      3. WSU Online provides support to students:
        1. Acquiring required resources, such as textbooks and media
        2. Arranging for proctored exams.
        3. Academic Consultants provide advising for WSU Online degree seeking students.
        4. 24/7 technical support
  3. STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES – Identify program learning outcomes, means of assessing outcomes and process for using results to improve the program. (If the same as the on-campus program insert those here.)
    1. Learning Outcomes and Assessment
      1. Learning Outcome 1 Students understand the interdisciplinary nature of criminal justice and theoretical, legal, ethical, and policy issues in law enforcement, courts, and corrections and the role discretionary decision-making plays in the operation of criminal justice institutions.
        1. The nature of M.A. curriculum fosters assessment of Learning Outcome 1. Students initially take foundational seminars involving Criminal Justice Processes and Institutions (CRMJ 530) and Criminological Theory (CRMJ 555). These seminars lay the groundwork for the institution specific seminars which focus on police (CRMJ 570), courts (CRMJ 560), and corrections (CRMJ 541).  Through assessment of weekly writing assignments, discussions of assigned readings, and a combination of research papers and examinations, faculty assess the level of mastery of the theoretical and substantive aspects of criminal justice.
        2. Student achievement of Learning Outcome 1 is also assessed through the writing of a Master’s essay (very similar to thesis) and oral defense of said essay. The essay process allows the student’s three person committee to consider the student’s capacity to integrate institutional specifics and system wide theoretical and policy considerations into a cohesive, thoroughly researched essay.
      2. Learning Outcome 2 Students are able to construct a research design that would either evaluate an agency program or investigate an empirical or theoretical issue relating to the criminal justice system;
        1. Learning Outcome 2 will be assessed through performance in required classes and evaluation of the Master’s essay. Specifically, Research Methods in Criminal Justice (CRMJ 503) and the Seminar in Evaluation Research (CRMJ 540) require students to construct research designs and program evaluations. These items are graded by the course instructor to ensure they meet the criteria laid out in this learning outcome. Moreover, the student’s M.A. committee will evaluate tis learning outcome is assessing the Master’s essay and oral defense.
      3. Learning Outcome 3 Students have knowledge and understanding of statistical methods, processes, and tests to understand and interpret scientific research findings from the criminal justice and criminology literature.
        1. Learning Outcome 3 will be measured largely by student performance on take home assignments and exams in Quantitative Methods (CRMJ 504). Additionally, students’ ability to discuss assigned research articles in seminars and their ability to utilize and discuss appropriate research articles in seminar papers and the Master’s essay.
      4. Learning Outcome 4 Students exhibit effective communication skills in both formal and informal written and oral communication in academic and professional settings.
        1. Learning Outcome 4 will be assessed throughout the student’s matriculation period. The vast majority of classes require students to articulate points of view and analyses of assigned materials between each other and the instructor. Students’ ability to effectively communicate orally is assessed by their ability to present research papers in seminars as well as successfully defend their Master’s essay at an oral defense. Written communication is assessed through evaluation seminar papers and the Master’s essay.
      5. In addition to the assessment practices stated above, the following practices will be used as part of the assessment process
        1. Student academic files will be reviewed annually by the Graduate Director to ensure that progress is being made toward degree completion and to identify poor seminar performance related to the stated learning outcomes.
        2. Master’s essays and oral defenses will be evaluated using a standard rubric focusing on the program’s learning outcomes.
        3. The graduate director will conduct an exit interview with each student at the end of their degree program (whether through graduation or leaving WSU) to identify perceived strengths and weaknesses in the MA program.
        4. Master’s essays will be provided to members of the Criminal Justice Advisory Committee (12 criminal justice system leaders from across Washington) for feedback on quality and fulfillment of expectations.
        5. Assessment results and processes will be reviewed annually by the Graduate Studies Committee
  4. DIVERSITY — Identify strategies for promoting diversity in the DDP program.
    1. WSU is committed to the promotion of diversity within the student population and online classroom. Online education is often viewed as a means of delivering education to underrepresented populations. The online environment lends itself to mitigating racial, gender, age and cultural stereotypes in community building.
  5. FUNDING — Describe the funding model for this distance program and justify the budget requirements.
    1. The program will be developed and implemented with existing resources. Additional faculty will be hired as needed, in consultation with the Dean, depending on program demand and revenue generated. Any such needs will be supported through revenue generated.
    2. The Graduate DDP model allocates funding only for student AAFTE served at a distance, in excess of the college baseline. Students dually enrolled in on-campus and on-line courses are not eligible for funding.
