Motion:
The Course and/or Program Change Procedures section of the Course and
Program Modification Policies should be affirmed after the inclusion of
the following changes:
Amendment #1:
Paragraphs 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d, which state:
"The school dean should be notified of all course changes as soon as
possible in the approval process. In deciding whether a change is major
and minor, both curricular and resource issues will be considered;
therefore, to prevent a revision in the major/minor status of a
change, it is propitious to verify any changes with the school dean."
Should be amended to read:
"The school dean should be notified of all course changes as soon as
possible in the approval process. The school dean, as the Provost's
designee, will decide whether a change is major or minor. Therefore,
to prevent a revision in the major/minor status of a change, it is
propitious to verify any changes with the school dean."
Amendment #2:
Paragraphs 1c and 3c which end with:
"...After approval by the school curriculum committee (and TEC if
necessary) it is each committee's responsibility to report its approval to
the Associate Provost for Academic Administration, who will inform the
necessary University offices of the change."
Should be expanded to include:
"...After approval by the school curriculum committee (and TEC if
necessary) it is each committee's responsibility to report its approval to
the Associate Provost for Academic Administration, who will inform the
necessary University offices and Faculty Senate of the change."
