UNIVERSITY
CURRICULUM COMMITTEE REPORT
Review of Liaison Pilot Program
In a
memorandum of March 21, 2006, Professor Rigsby, then Chair of the Faculty,
requested that the
University Curriculum
Committee review its Liaison Pilot Program and report to the Faculty Senate on
the status of that program.
Misunderstandings
of roles appear to have generated some frictions in the Program’s early days,
but it now appears to be universally understood that the individual liaisons
are not to constitute an extra layer of approval. Liaisons are not in
place to be ‘deciding curriculum matters’ for their units, but are trained to
facilitate the preparation of proposals and the necessary associated documentation.
This is the
third year of University Curriculum Committee’s use of the liaison model.
It has been the experience of the committee that curriculum matters brought to
the committee are rather more straightforwardly dealt with when they have been
prepared with the help of the assigned liaison. When the necessary
materials are properly prepared and protocols properly followed, the handling
of their proposals by the committee is much more straightforward, and time is
better used for all concerned.
The option
to bring curriculum matters before the committee without the involvement of the
assigned liaison remains available. Faculty who
wish to bypass the liaison process can access submission procedures at the
University Curriculum Committee’s website at: http://www.ecu.edu/cs-acad/fsonline/cu/curriculum.cfm
. All of the necessary forms and guidelines are available there. Academic unit liaisons will be available to answer
any remaining questions.
It is the consensus of the
University Curriculum Committee that the Liaison Model be continued as a
regular part of the University Curriculum Committee protocols.
