The Ball State case has no application to us in Montana and is limited to the court’s jurisdiction in Indiana. I would also argue that we have authority through the BOR policy while they are arguing a “common law lien.”  Finally, we do have case law in our jurisdiction that has upheld our right to withhold transcripts.  Juras v. Aman Collection, 829 F.2d 739 (9th Cir 1987).  In that case, the Ninth Circuit court considered a case which involved a student debtor who had attended Montana State University.  The student debtor challenged the withholding of transcripts by the university because of outstanding debts.  The court upheld the university’s right to withhold the transcript as a means of debt collection.

This is interesting.  Putting a hold on the transcript is really one of the only avenues we have to try to get students to pay their bills.  I forwarded this to our business office as well as our Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance.  The VC suggested that we as a group work to get something in the state statutes about this so if we get sued, we’re covered.  Maybe a good topic for the next meeting.

Probably a good place to add in “The university or college shall reserve the right to withhold records from the student in the event of an outstanding debt being owed unless subpoenaed by a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction” or whatever legal mumbo jumbo Legislative Services comes up with.

 

If you know a legislator please share your thoughts and encouragement to get this on the books.

Re: feedback needed for OCHE Guide to High School for College Credit

Thanks for the clarification on this matter, Tony. 

 

In chatting with Joe Hickman today, we agreed that Tony raises a troubling issue (that both of us missed in quickly skimming the policy document J).  I concur with Tony’s recommendation below on changing the wording of the note, so that we don’t provide potentially misleading information to students and/or parents.

 

Best regards everyone!

Well – there are several confounding issues. 

 

Since there is no guideline as to how these courses will appear on a transcript, receiving institutions may be forced to accept these articulated courses as part of CCN.  I think some faculty, CAO’s, and accrediting or licensing organizations  may have a problem honoring credits offered through an articulation agreement from a non-accredited institution.

 

There is an issue in not posting these courses as transfer (or noted in some other/consistent way) so that receiving institution can sustain academic standards. 

For example:  MSU determines to articulate College Level Chemistry from Belgrade High School and we also chose not to indicate in any way on the transcript that these credits were earned through articulation as opposed to on-campus.  The student then decides to transfer to UM and study pharmacy.  Now UM is obligated to accept this chemistry as part of CCN and has no way of knowing that this course was not offered at an accredited college.  In this instance I think the PR nightmare begins as the accreditation of the UM Pharmacy school is called to question for transferring in courses offered at a high school (which is obviously not regionally accredited).

 

Assuming that we determine to indicate (on transcripts) that these credits are part of an articulation agreement.  There is a potential issue in undermining the intent of CCN. 

Consider the previous example except that in this case the course is indicated as transfer or articulated on the students transcript.  Now UM is obligated (by the note excerpted in my original email) to transfer in the credits.  However, the Pharmacy department determines not to accept the credits as part of the Pharmacy degree (citing accreditation concerns).  Now the political backlash occurs when the student’s aunt (who happens to have access to the public discourse in Montana) calls foul.  “We were told this course would articulate seamlessly into the Common Course Numbering system within the University system – we had no idea Johnny wanted to be a pharmacist when he took the course.  If these credits aren’t chemistry what are they!”  I think the words that have gone through Common Course Numbering and are should be cut from the note.

 

Frankly I think the first example is the larger issue in terms of academic standards and integrity.  The second issue could be inflammatory but the pharmacy schools actions have precedence in how we collectively treat transfer coursework.

 

Does this help clarify?  I have to admit I have a massive head cold and am recovering from some complications with my recent ACL surgery.  Perhaps I am missing the mark here.  If so, please just let me know.  I won’t be offended.

 

Thanks

I still think this following statement is opening a can of worms that will eventually lead to a significant PR nightmare for the system. Essentially, this provision combined with the fact that there are no standards as to how the course will be posted on a transcript results in one school being able to determine transferability/articulation from a high school into any and all colleges in the state.  Please consider this from a faculty perspective before you move forward or approve.

 

Note:  All courses that have gone through Common Course Numbering and are locally articulated will be accepted throughout the Montana University System.  Students and Parents are responsible to work with college and high school counselors and advisors to research determine how coursework will transfer and whether it will satisfy particular program requirements.

 

Does no one else see this as a significant issue?  Am I missing something?

Maybe – I kind of wonder if he means that the press will run wild with a program saying that the credits might not transfer outside of the state.

Dear Friends,

 

Rocky Mountain College currently offers dual degrees or second degrees. Our administration is looking into potentially changing the requirements of earning a dual degree to matching that of a double major. I'm concerned about making a change like this.  

 

Can you please give me some insight into your current policies or practices on dual degrees/second degrees v.s. double major requirements. 

 

Ours is currently listed in the our 13-14 catalog as below (double majors only have to meet the major requirements for all declared major and core requirements of the baccalaureate degree: 

 

 

 Thank you so much for your help!

MACRAO 2014 Fall - 4.7.14.docx

Good afternoon,

 

I was able to confirm over the weekend that we would not have any specific external speakers, and as such, here is the current agenda for the meeting at the end of the week.  Thus, it is the antithesis of the Fall meeting where we had dozens of external speakers.  Something to be said for variety.  J

 

·         If I named you as a facilitator (based on emails/conversations we’ve had) and you don’t love that, let me know!

 

·         If I didn’t name you as a facilitator and you’d like to be one, let me know that too!

 

·         And – if your topic didn’t make it on the agenda, I blame my current state of chaos, and I apologize, please let me know and we’ll add it!

 

·         If I spelled something wrong, I wasn’t an English major, but would like to correct it before we print several copies, please advise

 

 

Cheri

Campus/Parking Maps

Happy Friday!

 

Attached is a map of campus and a parking map.    I’ve indicated which lots you can park in using the daily pass.    I have mailed these out to you today.

 

Thursday’s meeting will be held in the Dell Brown Room in Turner Hall.   Friday’s meeting is in LA 103B (Teacher Training & Conference Center) in the Liberal Arts Building.

 

Safe travels,
