abstract = {The Research Policy Oversight Committee was very active during the past academic year. We held meetings every two weeks, and although the extensive travel and work schedules of it members always prevented full attendance, many issues were considered and a wide variety of opinions were put forward. Since research policy encompasses many aspects of Northeastern University, the issues discussed ranged far beyond the initial charge to the RPOC. We assembled a Concerns List of areas of university research infrastructure that require attention:},

abstract = {The federal government has increased oversight with regard to travel to foreign countries in connection with sponsored research. While some research contracts and grants require advance approval of foreign travel by the sponsoring agency, other contracts or grants may even provide that travel to certain areas be cleared through channels such as the State Department.

For purposes of travel expense reimbursement, foreign travel is defined as any travel outside North America, with North America being defined as the Continental US, Canada, Mexico, Bermuda and the Caribbean Islands; or, in the case of Sponsored Programs, as defined in the contractual documents.},

abstract = {A significant portion of the Committee’s charge explores aspects of the current outdated Registrar system. The gap between the requests and expectations of our student body and faculty, and the ability of our current Registrar’s System to meet these requests, is widening at an accelerated pace. This places Northeastern at a disadvantage to its competitors in this regard. On this point, the ITPC and the Registrar’s Office are in complete agreement.

For many years the purchase of a new Student Information System has been needed and requested by the Registrar’s Office, without avail. Even after the purchase of a new system, the transition from the old to the new would take a significant amount of time to implement (on the order of a few years). Given that immediate transition to a new Student Information System is not feasible, there are a few short-term objectives that can be achieved under the current system that …

abstract = {BE IT RESOLVED That the Information Systems Policy Committee (ISPC), in consultation with the University Classroom Advisory Committee (UCAC), formulate a multi-year plan to equip and support 100% of the registrar-scheduled classrooms on the campus and its satellites with appropriate audio-visual instructional technology. The plan should include a suitable review, maintenance, replacement and upgrade cycle, and should be submitted to the Office of the Provost for review as part of the budgetbuilding cycle. Furthermore, ISPC, in consultation with the UCAC, will develop a similar plan for nonregistrar-scheduled classrooms and specialty labs. Both plans should be transmitted to the Senate at the beginning of the academic year, at least fifteen business days prior to being transmitted to the Office of the Provost.

The Senate Agenda Committee also asked the committee to review changes to the Student …},
