Policies and procedures
Pesticide Application
The Pesticide Use Policy encourages best management practices that maximize effectiveness and safety, and minimize environmental impact. Pesticides used in research and teaching are expected to abide by this policy’s objectives, although alternative procedures may be allowed for the purposes of academic study.
Check http://www.fpm.wisc.edu/safety or call Sally Rowe of the Safety Department, 262-0979, for pesticide label information, information about hazards and exposures to using pesticides, or information regarding pollutants in storm water.
Grants and fellowships
School Renaissance Institute Grant
School Renaissance Institute is requesting proposals for research into the impact of the Renaissance Schoolwide Improvement Process on school effectiveness. The Renaissance Schoolwide Improvement Process is a comprehensive school reform model that combines software, professional development and consulting services. The process is built on the premise that increasing the quality and timeliness of academic information in the classroom results in accelerated learning.

Meikeljohn-Powell Fellowship
The Integrated Liberal Studies Program has received a substantial grant to be directed toward establishing the Meiklejohn-Powell Fellowship. Each year over the next 10 years, a $5,000 fellowship will be awarded to a faculty member to develop and teach a new class, workshop or lecture series that reflects the work or concerns of Alexander Meiklejohn.
From 1927-1932, Alexander Meiklejohn directed the Experimental College at UW–Madison, where he tested, reworked and improved his ideas for the ideal liberal education. The Integrated Liberal Studies Program announces a call for proposals for the 2001-02 academic year. Examples of appropriate topics: residential learning communities, freedom of speech, critical thinking for an educated citizenry, the philosophy of liberal education or other issues relevant to Meiklejohn’s concerns.
Application deadline: Tuesday, May 15. Contact: Booth Fowler, 262-9067; fowler@polisci.wisc.edu.
