Zee proposed including a statement in each Auburn thesis and dissertation stating that “The work described in this (thesis\dissertation) was carried out between (month and year) and (month and year) in the Department of (department) at Auburn University. The work is entirely my own, except where reference is made to the work of others and has not been submitted in part or in whole for any other degree or qualification.” Leonard asked if the statement would apply to dissertation students who had done some of the work for their master’s degree. McFarland suggested moving the qualifying phrase “except where reference is made to the work of others” to the end of the second sentence so that it would apply to the entire second sentence and so that a previous master’s thesis, as long as reference were made, would not result in a violation. Sutton asked about papers submitted as a requirement for a degree that were included in the thesis or dissertation. Zee responded by recommending the last phrase be dropped from the statement. Burleson noted that this would require dropping the comma in the second sentence. McFarland and Chappelka recommended dropping the “at” and inserting a comma before “Auburn University” in the first sentence. Chappelka moved and Anderson-Harper seconded that the following statement be included in all Auburn University theses and dissertations:
The work described in this (thesis/dissertation) was carried out between (month and year) and (month and year) in the Department of (department), Auburn University. The work is entirely my own except where reference is made to the work of others.
The motion passed without opposition.
None.

The Graduate Council reconsidered its requirement, approved at the January 17, 2001 Council meeting, that a statement on academic honesty be included in all Auburn University theses and dissertations in response to input from Chris Newland of Psychology. Clark suggested adding a statement that the thesis or dissertation may include the work of the student’s advisors. Zee reminded the Council that the purpose of the statement was to remind students that plagiarism was unethical. Zee also stated that any statement must be kept simple or it would cause problems of interpretation in the various academic cultures and disciplines on the Auburn campus. Rodger moved and Bartol seconded replacing the statement approved January 17 with the following statement that would be required on the approval page of all Auburn theses and dissertations. The motion passed without opposition.
Except where reference is made to the work of others, the work described in this [thesis/dissertation] is my own or was done in collaboration with my advisory committee.

WHEREAS the Graduate Council recommends regulations and policies affecting the graduate curricula and work leading to graduate degrees at Auburn University and assists the Graduate Dean in the execution of regulations and policies; and
WHEREAS Council members contribute much effort and many hours to the important work of the Council; and
WHEREAS Heidi Anderson-Harper, Charlotte Sutton, Ralph Zee, and Scott Boback completed their service on the Graduate Council August 1, 2001;
Therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Graduate Council of Auburn University commends Drs. Anderson-Harper, Sutton, and Zee, and Mr. Boback for their outstanding service and extends sincere thanks and appreciation.

McFarland explained the background and justification for GRAD7900 Thesis Completion and GRAD8900 Dissertation Completion. Graduate students enrolled in research programs must maintain full-time student status to initiate new federal loans or to delay payments on existing loans. For a student who has completed all course work toward the degree, this would require him or her to register for multiple hours of 7990 Thesis or 8990 Dissertation beyond the university’s minimum requirements at great personal cost. GRAD7900/8900, in conjunction with one hour of 7990 or 8990, certifies the student as a full-time student for the purposes of initiating new loans or delaying payment on existing loans. The eligibility requirements for GRAD7900/8900 are specified on the form used to register for these courses, but specifically include co-registration for one hour of 7990 or 8990, enrollment in a thesis or dissertation program, and completion of all course work.
After lengthy discussion, the Graduate Council voted to maintain the existing policy for this program: “Enrollment in GRAD7900/8900 requires the completion of a certification available at the Graduate School or on the web at www.grad.auburn.edu. Master’s (thesis option only) students are eligible for up to three semesters of GRAD7900; doctoral students for up to six semesters of GRAD8900.”

Clark presented a proposed policy on the awarding of posthumous graduate degrees. Bartol moved approval, seconded by Szechi. Discussion focused on minor changes to make sure the proposed policy applied to all appropriate cases. The motion was approved without opposition.
McFarland moved to award a posthumous Doctor of Philosophy degree for Mr. Marc Jalbert (Agronomy and Soils). Bartol seconded. The motion was approved without opposition.
POLICY ON POSTHUMOUS DEGREES
A graduate degree may be awarded posthumously if work for the degree had been substantially completed before the student’s death. The request for a posthumous degree must be initiated by the chair of the student’s graduate advisory committee. Requests initiated by family, friends, other faculty members, administrators, or public officials should be directed to the Dean of the Graduate School who will forward them to the faculty chair of the advisory committee. The advisory committee, in consultation with administrative officers of the department, will determine whether to seek such a degree on behalf of the deceased student.
Award of a posthumous graduate degree requires the consent of the advisory committee, which must certify that the student was in good academic standing at the time of his or her death and was likely to have fulfilled requirements for the degree by the anticipated graduation date. In addition, award of a posthumous graduate degree requires the approval of the Dean of the Graduate School, the Graduate Council, the Provost, the University President, and the Board of Trustees.
Ordinarily, award of posthumous graduate degrees will be reserved for students who, at the time of their death, were near completion of work required for the degree as determined by the Graduate Advisory Committee. Evidence to this effect should include the following:
No student who dies committing a criminal act will be awarded a posthumous degree.
Cases that do not meet the above criteria may be considered when extraordinary circumstances prevail. No graduate degrees will be awarded without the consent of a majority of the student’s advisory committee.

The council reacted favorably to a description of the problem articulated by Sharon Roberts of Biological Sciences, as quoted by Barbara Kemppainen : “The philosophy on the use of 6000 level courses is not uniform across the university. The particular concern is whether or not it is appropriate to require these courses in the curriculum models for undergraduate majors.” McFarland noted that he plans to talk to SACS for further guidance on this subject.
