Provost Grimes was supposed to meet with the Graduate Council today to address questions regarding proposed changes to assistantship funding. . . I had wanted to attend the meeting, but was in a dissertation defense. . . Anybody out there with a report?
Nothing was settled. However, Dr. Grimes wants to move on some of this stuff, particularly "giving away tuition" very quickly. I attended as an interested faculty (waiting for the later Academic Council meeting) and not as a member of Graduate Council.
Dr. Grimes is now seeking "input" from GC on this matter.
