in the
Moved, seconded, and passed without dissent.
3 Brief discussion of new procedures for submitting proposals and posting to agenda. Chairs Arnold and Neil explained new database system put in place by Catherine Rigsby, Chair, Faculty Senate, and Lori Lee, Sec., Faculty Senate, that allows for easier uploading and provides convenient filing system for all proposals submitted to the committee. Discussed memo sent out by Chairs asking for signature sheets and support emails to be scanned and saved as word documents to be submitted electronically with completed packages to the two UCC Chairs. Discussed advisably of requesting submissions be saved into one single Word file, with goal of eliminating hard copies altogether. Agreed that the committee chairs will combine the submitted proposals into a single file for posting to the agenda to see how this works for the committee before asking faculty and liaisons to combine the documents as part of their procedure. Individual files for each memo, proposal form, etc. will no longer be sent out to UCC committee members; rather email notification will be made that the agenda is available and committee members can go there to read, download, or print documents in the proposal packages.
Two issues were raised that present problems for a goal of all-electronic submissions. One, the signature sheet has to be signed by the UCC chair/s and Diane Coltraine needs the original for her records; therefore, we can continue to request that the signature form be scanned in and submitted with the proposal packages electronically (without the UCC signature/s) with an eventual goal of having the hard copies brought by the liaisons to the UCC meeting for signing at that time. In the meantime, since we are still asking for a complete hard copy of the materials as well as the electronic submission, the signature form will be in that package and can be signed at the UCC meeting.
The second problem is the fact that many committee members do not have laptops to bring to the meetings and will continue to need to print out hard copies. The chairs pointed out that the portions of the packages that each person feels they need to have available in the meetings (usually the memo and course proposal forms) can simply be highlighted and printed out without having to print out the whole package. Ellen Arnold will consult with Catherine Rigsby about the laptop issue.
4 Diane Coltraine raised two additional
questions that the committee needs to address.
One, on page 2 of the curriculum manual, item #5, states that the
Registrar must approve unbanked course numbers.
This is incorrect, and should be removed from the manual (this can be
done without committee vote). Two, the
Banking/Unbanking Form was not updated when the other forms were updated, and
still contains a section for signatures (pp. 14-15) that duplicates the
Signature Form. Items C through G need
to be removed from this form. This is a
matter that will require committee action.
5
Diane Coltraine informed the committee that Tim Hudson
had called to remind her of an issue carried over from last year that needs to
be addressed: the wording of learning
objectives on the Course Proposal forms.
Hudson felt (and the discussion around the learning objectives for the
POLS course discussed earlier in the meeting illustrated this) that we need to
clarify for the committee itself, the liaisons, and all faculty in A&S the
necessity of creating behavioral learning goals that will meet SACS standards
for our next SACS review.
