CURRICULUM AND GENERAL EDUCATION – Jim Wilson, Chair

Proposed policy for the Curriculum and General Education Policy and Procedure Manual regarding substantive program proposals and nonsubstantive program proposals.

Substantive program proposals are those which change the number of hours required in a program, add or delete required courses or required support courses, create new emphases or tracks within a program. Any change in a teaching major or minor must be reviewed by the University Council on Teacher Education.

Nonsubstantive program proposals are those which add, delete or change elective courses within a program. Substitution of required courses with courses of equal credit value from within the academic department hosting the program are also nonsubstantive. Name changes to a program are nonsubstantive as long as they do not mislead or infringe on the names of existing programs.

Motion: Moved to accept the proposed policy regarding substantive program proposals and nonsubstantive program proposals as set forth above by the Curriculum and General Education Committee.
Made: Ron Holt
Second: Rob Reynolds
