ACTIONS OF MEETING

 

 

Agenda Item:  II. Old Business

           

 

Discussion:

 

Chair Schwager noted that the minutes for last meeting had been reviewed and approved prior to today’s meeting.  In future, UCC will continue to circulate minutes for approval by email in order to expedite course approval in the Faculty Senate.

 

Chair Schwager was complimented for his PowerPoint presentation at the liaison orientation.  He agreed to distribute a copy to members of the committee.

 

Action Taken: N/A

 

 

 

 

Agenda Item:  III. Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Sciences, Department of Geography

 

S. Curtis, T. Crawford, and S. Lecce presented their curriculum packet, which includes simple name changes to GEOG 1000 and one concentration area.  They informed UCC that the chair of the Academic Standards Committee, Linda Wolfe, had confirmed that a mere name change of an existing course would not require recertification of Foundations Curriculum credit.

 

(1.)   Revision of Existing Course(s):  GEOG 1000

Discussion:

 

The committee suggested one editorial change to the course description.

 

Action Taken:

 

[See item two]

 

 

(2.)   Revision of Existing Degree(s):  BA in Geography, BS in Applied Geography

 

Discussion:

 

S. Curtis asked if any other committees would have to approve the concentration name change before the curriculum packet could go forward for approval.  The committee confirmed that no other steps will be needed.

 

 

Action Taken:

 

Both items in packet were approved by voice vote.  Motion, Mitchelson; second, Reid.

 

 

_______________________________________________________________________

 

 

Agenda Item:  IV. New Business

 

(1.)   Undergraduate University Curriculum Committee Course Proposal Form for   Courses Numbered 0001 - 4999

 

Discussion:

 

UCC members discussed and suggested additions and corrections to the draft of a revised Proposal Form.  Item numbers 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 17, and 18 of the form were discussed and edited (See appended document for final text).  It was noted that corresponding changes will have to be made in the Undergraduate Curriculum and Program Development Manual.

 

Action Taken:

 

Changes to the Proposal Form were approved by voice vote.  Motion, Mitchelson; second, Burke.

 

(2.)   Signature Form for Curricular Changes

 

Discussion:

 

The proposed changes were read.

 

Action Taken:

 

The Signature Form was approved by acclamation.

 

(3.)   Undergraduate Curriculum and Program Development Manual

 

Discussion:

 

The manual was discussed in conjunction with the Proposal Form in item (1.).

 

 

Action Taken:

 

Changes to the Undergraduate Curriculum and Program Development Manual were carried over, since they are editorial and will not require Faculty Senate approval.

 

      (4.)  Policies and Procedures for Undergraduate Certificate Programs

 

Discussion:

 

Chair Schwager noted that the UCC has no established policy for reviewing certificate proposals.  He suggested that the committee take up this matter after reviewing the draft policy developed last year by committee member Kathryn Hashimoto based on the Graduate Curriculum Committee guidelines.

 

Action Taken:

 

The matter was carried over.
