III. Co-Chairs Report
Co-chairs reported on a meeting with Provost Intemann, the chair of the Senate, the co-chairs of the Graduate Committee, and two members of the Meet and Discuss Team of APSCUF concerning low-enrolled programs and the provost's action plan for department responses to be reviewed by UWUCC and UWGC, Senate and the Council of Trustees. There are 17 undergraduate programs at IUP on the low-enrolled review list, the deadline to get these reports in to the deans is March 19th. The curriculum committees would have to review them so that they could be on the April 20th Senate Agenda. The choices of action are 1) Discontinue, 2) Moratorium, 3) Continuation, 4) Collaboration, or 5) Revision. It was suggested that one person from the committee be point person for one or two of the proposals.
Based on the meeting between Hyde, Diaz-Martin, and Lenze about 201, discussion of curriculum committee approval of cross-listed online courses resulted in a consensus by the committee that when working with objectives from an approved syllabus of record and if it is determined by the committee that they are able to be adequately met online, a cross-listed course can be put through by individual departments, with notification only to the other departments. Approved on a Potts/Turner motion. Hyde and Mensch abstained.
At the end of the meeting it was agreed that the March 16th meeting will be an extended meeting.
