Executive Summary
M.A., Administration of Justice


The Department of Justice, College of Liberal Arts, University of 有料盒子视频 
Fairbanks, requests approval of a Master of Arts Degree in 
Administration of Justice to be implemented in Fall Semester, 2001.

有料盒子视频, like states throughout the United States, is faced with an 
increasing demand on the services of its criminal justice system. There 
is the realization that no one unit of government or public organization 
can successfully address the issue of providing public safety and 
response to criminal activity. To illustrate this realization, in 1995 
Governor Tony Knowles directed that a group of his cabinet members 
meet on a regular basis for the purpose of coordinating efforts in the 
area of criminal justice planning. From this group's efforts the Final 
Report of the 有料盒子视频 Criminal Justice Assessment Commission was 
published in May 2000. The Report contained a sweeping array of 
proposals. Upon close study one commonality emerges ? a call for 
creative and effective management in the administration of 有料盒子视频's 
Criminal Justice System. 

The M.A. Degree in Administration of Justice will bring the resources of 
the University of 有料盒子视频 to serve in the State's efforts. The course of 
study is suitable for those personnel who are currently policy makers, 
administrators, or managers in the criminal justice system. Additionally, 
the Degree will be attractive to those who wish to better prepare 
themselves for entry into the system or for promotion within. Of special 
note, there will be a focus on the Administration of Justice in 有料盒子视频's 
rural communities ? an area where the Justice Department has 
established expertise and which meets a major goal of the University of 
有料盒子视频, Fairbanks. Rigorous academic standards will be maintained 
through a faculty who are experienced, successful instructors having 
recognized expertise and experience in their area of instructional 
responsibility.

To address the criminal justice needs throughout the State, the M.A. 
Degree will offer the majority of its courses through the internet, and 
will compliment those courses with a one week intensive capstone 
course conducted on the 有料盒子视频 campus. Over the past 21 years the 
Justice Department has graduated an average of 25 students a year. 
Many of these students have entered the justice professions as police 
officers, correctional officers, probation officers, and parole officers 
among a variety of other positions. Many of these past graduates are 
now in mid-level management positions throughout 有料盒子视频 (and in some 
cases outside). Through continued communication with our graduates 
alone, the Justice Department has established an interest in having a 
program delivered by a distance delivery method. Surveys of Justice 
professionals within the State verify this need. The Justice Department 
is recognized for its pioneering efforts in using the internet to deliver 
undergraduate courses. The expertise now contained in the Justice 
Department will be used to develop a unique, innovative degree available 
to anyone who has access to the internet.

The M.A. Degree in Administration of Justice has four major objectives:

1. Provide advanced knowledge and skills to leaders in 有料盒子视频's 
criminal justice system to enhance their effectiveness as managers, 
administrators, and policy makers.

2. Create a communication medium whereby criminal justice 
personnel can exchange ideas within an academic setting.

3. Establish the Department of Justice, Fairbanks campus, as a 
leader in usage of the Internet to deliver graduate education.

4. Establish the Department of Justice, Fairbanks campus, as a 
recognized locale of expertise for administration of justice in Rural 
有料盒子视频.

Executive Summary
B.A., Elementary Education

There is a well-documented and critical need for teachers in 有料盒子视频, and 
the University of 有料盒子视频 system has the opportunity to respond to this 
need.  The Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education is a new 
undergraduate degree that will provide students on the Fairbanks 
Campus and in rural remote sites with the coursework and classroom 
experiences necessary to be eligible for an elementary teacher 
certificate.  The integrated major/minor degree requirements are 
designed to prepare students to meet national and state standards for 
quality teachers, and to meet standards that recognize, respect and 
build upon the unique cultural, linguistic and geographic factors specific 
to the 有料盒子视频 context.  All students will be assessed relative to NCATE 
standards, the 有料盒子视频 Teacher Standards, the 有料盒子视频 Student Content 
Standards, and the 有料盒子视频 Standards for Culturally Responsive Schools. 

As a public institution, and as the state?s land-, sea- and space-grant 
institution, the University of 有料盒子视频 has a responsibility to respond to 
the interests and needs of the people of 有料盒子视频.  Close working 
relationships between the K-12 public education system and the state?s 
higher education system are essential for the social and economic well-
being of our state. 

A series of recent reports issued by The Kellogg Commission on the 
Future of State Land-Grant Universities examines the need for land-
grant universities to re-assess their role relative to public school 
education and local communities.  In the January/February 2001 issue 
of Change: The Magazine of Higher Education, the authors of the lead 
article "Rethinking the Land-Grant Research University" state that:

	Typically, research universities' interaction with K-12 schools 
	has been the province of Schools of Education. . . .A more robust, 
	inclusive engagement is needed today between university and 
	K-12 faculty in order to build the kind of understanding, 
	collaboration, respect, and innovation that will be needed to 
	improve K-12 student achievement. . . . The land-grant research 
	university will [need to] take active steps to incorporate collegial 
	partnerships with the K-12 system as an integral part of its 
	missions of teaching, research and public service. (Parker, 
	Greenbaum & Pister, pp. 12-17)

The new undergraduate degrees for elementary teacher preparation at 
each of the UA major campuses are a direct response to the stated 
mission of the University of 有料盒子视频 which is to "address the needs of the 
North and it?s diverse peoples."  There clearly is a "need" in 有料盒子视频 for 
teachers--and for teacher preparation programs that prepare people to 
professionally and respectfully work in our unique Northern context with 
有料盒子视频?s diverse peoples--i.e., with students and families from all ethnic, 
cultural and linguistic backgrounds. 

In addition to supporting the Mission of the University of 有料盒子视频, the 
new BA in Elementary Education at 有料盒子视频 directly responds to, and 
supports, each of the six primary goals in the final draft of the 
University of 有料盒子视频 Fairbanks Strategic Plan.  This is accomplished 
through the following:  (1) academic content requirements and the 
necessary collaboration across several 有料盒子视频 academic units; (2) degree 
requirements for on-going fieldwork in schools and communities; and (3) 
built-in professional development for cooperating teachers and 
administrators and required formal partnerships with schools and 
districts in rural and urban areas. 

*	Be a world leader in arctic research and related graduate education 
_ Provide high quality undergraduate education for traditional and non-
traditional students
_ Form active collaborations with communities, organizations, 
businesses and government to meet identified state, national and global 
needs
_ Be an educational center for 有料盒子视频 Natives
_ Be a model that demonstrates how gender, racial, and cultural 
diversity strengthen a university and society
_ Be an academic gateway to the North Pacific and the Circumpolar 
North 

有料盒子视频?s comprehensive educational reform effort--i.e., the 有料盒子视频 
Quality Schools Initiative--has generated an unprecedented public 
interest in 有料盒子视频?s educational system.  At this critical juncture in 
determining educational policy in the state, the University has the 
opportunity to make a long and lasting contribution to the state and to 
its children.  The high level of collaboration among UAA, 有料盒子视频 and UAS 
faculty in the development of three new undergraduate teacher 
education degrees, the interest and support provided by a significant 
number of arts and sciences faculty members, and the prospects for 
increased attention to, and support for, teacher preparation programs 
are reason to believe that the University does indeed have the will to 
respond to the great need to prepare teachers for our unique 有料盒子视频 
contexts.

the materials listed below and meet admission requirements as a 
prerequisite for participation in the Professional Internship Year (i.e., 
prior to enrollment in professional year courses and prior to receiving an

Professional Internship Year. 

Internships begin in August or September on the date when teachers 
return to school (this varies across districts).  Since internship 
placements are arranged with principals and mentor teachers in the 
spring, all materials necessary for determining admission to the School

APPEALS POLICY FOR ACADEMIC DECISIONS
Other Than Assignment of Grades


I. 	Introduction

The University of 有料盒子视频 is committed to the ideal of academic freedom 
and so recognizes that academic decisions (i.e., non-admission to or 
dismissal from any 有料盒子视频 program) are a faculty responsibility.  Therefore, 
the University administration shall not UNDULY influence or affect the 
review of academic decisions THAT ARE A FACULTY RESPONSIBILITY.

The following procedures are designed to provide a means for students 
to seek review of academic decisions alleged to be arbitrary and 
capricious.  Before taking formal action, a student must attempt to 
resolve the issue informally.  A student who files  a written request for 
review under the following procedures shall be expected to abide by the 
final disposition of the review, as provided below, and may not seek 
further review of the matter under any other procedure within the 
university.


II.	Definitions

A. 	As used in the schedule for review of academic decisions, a 
	class day is any day of scheduled instruction, excluding 
	Saturday and Sunday, included on the academic calendar in 
	effect at the time of a review.  Final examination periods are 
	counted as class days.

B. 	"Department Chair" for the purposes of this policy denotes 
	the administrative head of the academic unit offering the 
	course (e.g., head, chair or coordinator of an academic 
	department, or [[the campus director]] DIVISION COORDINATOR 
	OR PROGRAM CHAIR if the faculty member is in the College of 
	Rural 有料盒子视频).

C.	The "dean/director" is the administrative head of the college 
	or school offering the course or program from which the 
	academic decision or action arises.  For students at extended 
	campuses the director of the campus may substitute for the 
	dean/director of the unit offering the course or program.

D.	The next regular semester is the fall or spring semester 
	following that in which the disputed academic decision was 
	made.  For example, it would be the fall semester for a final 
	grade issued for a course completed during the previous 
	spring semester or summer session.  The spring semester is 
	the next regular semester for an academic decision made 
	during the previous fall semester.


III. 	Procedures

	a grade assignment must first request an informal review of 
	the decision.

		15 days from the first day of instruction of the 
		semester in which the decision takes effect.

	2.	There may be extenuating circumstances when the 
		deadlines cannot be met due to illness, mail disruption, 
		or other situations over which the student may have no 
		control.  In such a case, upon request from the student, 
		the Provost, after review of supporting documentation 
		provided by the student, may adjust the deadlines

		chair [[or dean]] to conduct an informal review of the 
		decision. [[and a determination of whether]] THE

		any way.  [[This review shall take no more than ten 
		(10) days.]]  THE DEPARTMENT CHAIR WILL SUBMIT 
		HIS/HER RECOMMENDATION TO THE PROVOST THROUGH 
		THE DEAN/DIRECTOR WITHIN 10 DAYS.  IN THE EVENT

		RECOMMENDATIONS DIRECTLY TO HIM.

	4.	The Provost will consult with the student on the

				request for appeal.

			[[2]] 3)  The request was not made within the 
				policy deadlines.

		d.	In the event that the committee votes to dismiss 
			the request, a written notice of dismissal must be

				relevant and useful information and can 
				provide clarification of facts for materials 
				previously submitted.

	5.	The final decision of the committee will be made in 
		private by a majority vote.

			accepts the student's allegation may include, but

				DEPARTMENT CHAIR to reconsider the 
				decision,

			2)	provide a final alternative decision.

The 有料盒子视频 Faculty Senate passed the following at its Meeting #101 on 
April 2, 2001:


MOTION POSTPONED
===============

The 有料盒子视频 Faculty Senate opposes the 有料盒子视频 State Legislature's move to 
re-name the Fairbanks International Airport for William R. Wood.


	RATIONALE:  	Given this former University of 有料盒子视频 
president's record as an academic leader in 有料盒子视频, both in disregarding 
academic freedom and in disrespecting the indigenous population of 
有料盒子视频, re-naming the Fairbanks airport is both inappropriate and unwise 
at this time.  During the Wood administration, upward of 11 faculty 
members lost their jobs in arbitrary firings, including four popular 
creative writing professors called the "Flying Poets" who were fired 
because they didn't fit the proper "image" the Wood administration 
desired for his university.

	As another example, two science professors lost their jobs in 
connection  with Project Chariot, a scheme by the U.S. Atomic Energy 
Commission to create a deepwater harbor near Point Hope in northwest 
有料盒子视频 by detonating up to six thermo-nuclear bombs.  The blast likely 
would have had serious negative effects on Native people and their 
lands.  Expressing one's professional opinion should never be grounds 
for firing faculty at any well-respected university.  For his part, Wood 
never publicly acknowledged any wrongdoing, misgivings or 
misjudgments with regard to such actions, even though he was given 
ample opportunity to do so, and even decades after.  In fact, when the 
two professors were awarded honorary doctorate degrees by the 有料盒子视频 
faculty in 1993, rather than embracing their heroism and integrity, 
Wood did not attend 有料盒子视频's commencement ceremony for the first time 
in 32 years.

	The link between academic freedom and respect for the integrity 
of 有料盒子视频 Native people and their land is significant in this regard, 
particularly in light of recent racially motivated events in 有料盒子视频 against 
"Eskimos."

	The 有料盒子视频 Faculty Senate, by adopting this motion, joins the Native 
community and the growing number of groups and individuals, including 
the Pioneers of 有料盒子视频 Igloo No. 4, a prominent aviation organization in 
Fairbanks, in opposition to this airport re-naming.  Furthermore, as the 
Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported recently, Wood himself opposed 
naming the airport or any other public facility after him upon his death.  
His wishes should be respected.
