Committee Reports
Brandon Franke – The by-laws were to be voted on this month. The board policy states that Deans are not allowed to vote in the curriculum committee meetings. Our current policy is to allow Deans to vote. This conflict will be resolved and the other by-law changes will be voted on as a single set of changes next month. All curriculum committee members have access to Curriculog and all of the documents presented in the meeting can be viewed prior to the committee meeting. Training for new curriculum committee members will be offered during the fall convocation time.
