After review of all CoE course additions, some issues with the course syllabi were found. CoE representative Dr. Li will address with Jenny Zhou and request word version of syllabi, will also check that the 6000 level courses do not corresponding 5000 or 4000 level courses. If so, need to make sure syllabi show different level of SLOs and course objectives.

 

Policy/Procedure

 

Annual Graduate Faculty review – currently collecting applications, deadline is October 1st, plan to begin review at October meeting and conclude before start of spring 2023 semester. Need to discuss appointment term expirations. Currently set at 5 years for full members and 1 year for special. Do we want to set this year’s approvals to expire in 2025 (4-year appointment) so that we can move toward completing the bulk of our review of full-time faculty to once every five years, or continue to do annual reviews?

 

Discussion: the large number of faculty in CoA&S would make for a very lengthy review in that college. Will discuss further at October meeting.
