Minutes
Curriculum Committee
September 19, 2006
Members: James Swartz (Chair), Gerald Adams, Eliza Willis, Erin Hurley, Lee Sharpe, Dan Reynolds, Jacob Schneider, Kristen Barlow, Tinsley Hunsdorfer, and Michael Billups.
1. The minutes of 9/5/2006 were approved.
2. The committee had a very general discussion about MAPs and their relationship to other academic independent activities in preparation for a series of questions to be prepared by the Dean and reviewed by the committee in an attempt to have each and every department as a unit conduct a quality assessment of MAP activities.
3. Each of the divisions discussed the proposal to discontinue the January registration but other than a number of procedural concerns there was in general approval to go ahead with the proposal. On that basis the committee approved the following proposal. On a trial basis the January 2007 registration on Sunday would be eliminated. In addition, the signature of the instructor to add a class not at capacity would not be required until the starting of classes second semester. Classes at capacity or balanced would still require the signature of the instructor to add. A final decision on the elimination of Sunday registration and signature requirements for registration will be made by the Curriculum Committee in the spring of 2007.
