 Jenna Glover, 2010-2011 Academic Catalog (6-22-10)

 The listing below should be found on page 321 of the 2010-2011 Academic Catalog:

 Jenna Glover, Assistant Professor of Psychology, 2010.  B.S., Weber State University, 2002; M.S. Utah State University-Logan, UT, 2006; Ph.D., Utah State University-Logan, UT, 2009.

 Modification to BBA Upper Division Requirements (8-11-10)

 Effective with the 2010-2011 Washburn University Catalog, the upper-division specific degree requirements for the BBA degree will include one of the following three courses:  BU 355 International Business, BU 477 International Finance, or EC 410 International Economics.  When a course is used to meet this requirement, it cannot be used to meet requirements of a major area of concentration.

 Change in Student Directory Information (8-20-10)

 Washburn University's Board of Regents has approved to remove "date and place of birth" from the University's list of "directory information."  Educational institutions may define what constitutes "directory information" from the definition provided by the U.S. Department of Education in the federal regulations of The Family Educational Rights And Privacy Act (FERPA).

 *"Date and/or place of birth" may NOT be released to public inquiry without the written consent of the student.*

 Modification of Grade Appeal Procedure (8-27-10)

 The following grade appeal procedure applies to the College and the Schools, not the School of Law. The obligation of the instructor to evaluate the performance of students on sound academic grounds is basic to the formal education process. A student who believes the grade awarded him/her by an instructor is based upon reasons other than the student's academic performance may appeal the grade received in a course. Students utilize the procedure outlined below to appeal the grade unless a student believes the grade was awarded based on illegal discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, age, national origin, ancestry, disability, sex, marital or parental status or sexual orientation/gender identity. Appeals based upon complaints of discrimination follow the University's procedure for complaints of discrimination. (http://www.washburn.edu/main/human-resources/wuprpm/regs_procedures_general_topics.html).

Consultation with the Instructor. A student must first attempt to resolve his/her dispute concerning the final grade received in a course through consultation with the instructor of the class. Such consultation normally shall take place following award of the grade but in no event shall such consultation take place later than the fourth week on the next regular academic semester following the award of the grade. In the event the course instructor is no longer at the University or is on a leave of absence during the semester following the contested grade or the instructor shall have refused to consult with such student, the student may proceed to the next stage, mediation by the Department Chair (where such exists). If no Department Chair exists, the next stage is mediation by the Dean of the College or School in which the course was offered.

 Mediation by the Department Chair. If the student is dissatisfied with the result of his/her consultation with the instructor or the student shall have been unable to meet with the instructor because of the instructor's refusal to meet or absence, the student may seek mediation of the matter with the Department Chair in the unit in which the course was offered. The instructor shall make available to his/her Department Chair all of the materials in his or her possession and the criteria which entered into the determination of the student's final grade in the course. The student shall provide the Department Chair, in writing, the grounds for contesting the grade by the instructor. After receiving and reviewing these materials, the Department Chair shall meet with the student and the instructor, either jointly or separately, to attempt to mediate the dispute about the contested grade.

 Mediation by the Dean of the College or School in which the course was offered. If the student is dissatisfied with the result of his/her consultation with the instructor and with the department chair (where appropriate) or the student shall have been unable to meet with the instructor because of the instructor's refusal to meet or absence, the student may seek mediation of the matter with the Dean of the College or School in which the course was offered. The instructor shall make available to the Dean all of the materials in his or her possession and criteria which entered into the determination of the student's final grade in the course. The student shall provide the Dean, in writing, the grounds for contesting the grade by the instructor. After receiving and reviewing these materials, the Dean shall meet with the student and the instructor, either jointly or separately, to attempt to mediate the dispute about the contested grade.

 Appeal to Grade Appeal Committee. If, after mediation with the Dean, as provided above, the student is still dissatisfied with the result, she/he may file a notice of appeal with the Dean, which shall specify the grade requested and provide a written summary of the grounds for appeal to the Grade Appeal Committee. Such notification must be received by the Dean within 10 working days of the day on which the student faculty member consultation was completed. The process shall be terminated if notification is not received within the 10 working days. Upon receipt of the notice of appeal, the Dean shall forward it and all materials submitted by the faculty member and student during the mediation process to the Vice President for Academic Affairs, the faculty member, and the student. The Vice President for Academic Affairs, upon receipt of the notice and materials, shall appoint and convene a committee of five persons comprised of three faculty members (at least one and no more than two members from the department/discipline from which the grade appeal originated and a minimum of one from other departments/disciplines) and two students from departments/disciplines outside the originating college/school to serve as the Grade Appeal Committee. The Vice President for Academic Affairs may request names of potential discipline-based committee members from the appropriate Dean and/or Department Chair. The awarding of grades that are fair and equitable is taken seriously by the University. Therefore, faculty members are urged to view a request to serve on a grade appeal committee as an important obligation and a service to the University which should be refused only under extraordinary circumstances. At its first meeting, the Grade Appeal Committee shall select its chairperson, set the date, time and place for the appeal to be heard, and review appeal materials from the Vice President for Academic Affairs. The committee shall advise the student and the faculty member of the hearing date. The Grade Appeal Committee may only request clarifying information related to the original documents of the appeal packet. Clarifying information requested from the student/faculty member by the committee should be requested through the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Any clarifying information gathered by the Vice President for Academic Affairs will also be shared with the student and/or faculty member.

 Hearing. The hearing will take place before the entire Committee. The burden of proof rests with the student who shall, during the course of the hearing on the contested grade, be responsible for presenting evidence to support the claim. The hearing will be informal and the formal rules of evidence shall not be applicable. Oral testimony of witnesses may be presented but is not required. If either the student or the faculty member present witnesses, he/she must provide a written summary of the testimony expected of the witness(es) to the Vice President for Academic Affairs not later than five business days prior to the date of the hearing. The Vice President for Academic Affairs will then disseminate such information to the Committee and each party within 3 business days. The student or the faculty member may be accompanied by an advisor whose only role in the course of the hearing will be to render advice to the student/faculty member. The student is required to attend the hearing. It is recommended that the faculty member attend the hearing. Should both the student and faculty member attend, they will meet with the committee jointly. The amount of time allotted to each party will be left to the discretion of the Committee. The hearing will not be audio, video, or digitally recorded.

 Decision. The student will prevail only if at least four of the five members of the Committee agree that the relief (grade) sought should be awarded for the reasons stated in his/her notice of appeal and the student's grade be changed. The Committee shall report its decision in writing to the Vice President for Academic Affairs who will then disseminate the decision to the student, faculty member, Dean, and Department Chair (if applicable). The decision of the committee shall be final. If it is the judgment of the Committee that the grade be changed, the Vice President for Academic Affairs shall notify the University Registrar, who will enter the changed grade.
