MINUTES

 

I.                   Adoption of the Agenda:  Approved as written

 

II.                Announcements:  None

 

III.             Old Business: Rules Proposal – Karen Stein suggested that the revised sentence in boldface be deleted, with the following substitution:  “In conducting the hearing, the Committee should be cognizant of regulations affecting professional practice.”  After discussion, the executive committee voted to approve the deletion and new language.  The rule as amended should be reviewed by the Rules Committee and, if approved by them, brought forward as an item for our February Senate meeting   (attached)

 

IV.              New Business: 

A.     Department of Art: Proposal to change department’s name to Department of Fine Arts and Visual Communications. Considering that the current Department Chair did not sign off on this proposal, it was decided to send it back to the department to ascertain that the faculty and the chair are still in support of the name change proposal.

 

B.     MFA proposal from Theatre – Approved for the February Senate agenda

 

V.                 Other: Future Meetings – The next meeting was set for next Monday, December 15th at 9:15 a.m.  A second meeting was scheduled for January 13th at 3:30 just after the Coordinating Committee meeting.

Respectfully Submitted,
