F&CS. If the transfer placement is determined to be a positive move, the transfer will take place on July 1, 2005. Occurred Continue the discussions between Exercise Science and Nutrition to develop an interdisciplinary program under the IP charter, which will be submitted to the Academic Affairs Council in August for approval. Determine if such an interdisciplinary program could evolve into a Center of Excellence. Now under the department of Nutrition, Exercise and Health Sciences Graduate Programs. HHPR graduate programs include Master of Science degrees in two fields of study: (a) Exercise Science; and (b) Health, Human Performance, and Recreation. A department distinction is that the HHPR program is available completely on-line. Although I perceive no deficiencies in any of the programs, I am presenting the following recommendations: Recommendations Make the Exercise Science a distinctive program; that is, list it in the catalog as a Master of Science in Exercise Science (perhaps with specializations in Exercise and Nutrition and/or exercise physiology and/or Psychology of Exercise/Human Performance). The faculty of the program are exemplary in that they have the research expertise and dissemination, knowledge, and name recognition to attract students to the program. Interdisciplinary approaches and curriculum development with Food Science and Nutrition, as well as psychology could add to the program evolving into a Center of Excellence. NA Continue working with the CEPS dean, CEPS development officer, and the Office of Research and Graduate Studies to develop additional on-going year-long graduate assistantships. Ongoing but needs to now include new discussions with PESPH Scholarship. The scholarship requirements for faculty members at Central Washington University have changed during the past four years. Specifically, more scholarship is expected and required, especially in the area of peer-reviewed publications. As a result of the scholarship requirements for reappointment, tenure, and promotion, along with the scholarship expected of individuals who have reached full professor rank, a number of issues have emerged: (a) disparity in types of scholarship expectations among faculty members in different units of the department [i.e., empirical-based research/publications versus qualitative-based research/publications versus curriculum-based publications, etc.]; (b) disparity in the scholarship expectations for tenured and tenure-track faculty members who hold different terminal degrees [i.e., master’s or doctoral degrees]; (c) time for faculty members who wish to conduct more extensive research; and (d) technology to conduct research.
