c.
Academic calendar issues. The faculty handbook
contains conflicting statements about the academic calendar. CCE needs to
review how this works and assert the need for Faculty Senate review of proposed
academic calendars. For example, compare http://facultyhandbook.udel.edu/handbook/317-class-meetings/size
and http://facultyhandbook.udel.edu/handbook/316-course-scheduling-cancellation-and-assignments.
When the calendar has 65 class days, it may be impossible to provide 41 MWF
classes. Coordinating has been tasked to review, discuss, and recommend how to
resolve this.
d. Permanent Approval of the PhD in Preservation Studies – (attachment) (attachment) (attachment)
