2.     Approval of Agenda

Jennifer received Hoan’s email about the paperwork.  These notes are reflected in the minutes below.  Dianne moved item 8.l. CRC Representative for Natural Science Division under New Business.  Item 4.b.1 BUS*027 DL should be 4.0 Units, not 3.0 Units.  Dianne moved item 8.e. CSU American Institutions under Old Business.  Review of items 4.a.1-12, 15-16 will be postponed until the course revisions are submitted and approved.  Item 4.a.13 will be tabled due to concerns of overlap with the CIS department.  The Revision of items 4.c.5, 6 & 7 was changed to New Course – First Reading.    Under New Business Rescission of Spring 2003 Nursing Program Revisions was added.  It was MSC (Zummo/Moyers) to approve agenda with revisions.

 

3.     Approval of Summary Minutes – September 15, 2003
Don stated that on Item 4.a.3, there was question that was not answered—so the answer is no, ISBN numbers on textbooks are not needed.  It was MSC (Dworak/Moyers) to approve the summary minutes of September 15, 2003 as revised.

that have been on the agenda for several meetings awaiting paperwork.  CRC representatives will discuss with their constituents and report back their intentions for these courses.

b.     CRC Representative for Natural Science Division
Dianne announced she has been elected to represent the Natural Science Division on CRC.

c.     Rescission of Spring 2003 Nursing Program Revisions
Lynn explained that her department did not intend for the
course revisions passed during Spring 2003 to be effective until Fall 2004 because they must first get approval from their governing board (all courses must be taken to the board at once for approval).  Harriett suggested Lynn rescind the Spring 2003 revisions via a list along with a rationale for the rescission to the BOT.  It was MSC (Moyers/Dworak) to take a rescission to the Board of the course revisions until the nursing governing board can approve them.

7.     Old Business

a.     CSU American Institutions
Don expressed concern that the
History department is not quite clear that they need to revise their course outlines.  He will forward the information to the department chair.  On Friday, Don attended a meeting where he discovered that some colleges are not taking this situation very seriously and this is upsetting CSU.  We need to make sure we do not make that same mistake. 

Betty Ensminger has scheduled an additional Tech Review meeting for Friday, October 3rd from 9am-10:30am and from 11:30am-completion.  Dianne recommends there be at least three people in attendance.

Anna publicly thanked Kara for creating the CRC Web page.  Kara thanked Sallie for her assistance.

Dianne reviewed the Future Agenda items and the committee decided to remove the following from future agendas:  Prerequisite Discussion, Reactivating Inactive Courses (using the same course number), Report from Process Subcommittee, and Role of Articulation Officer.  It was determined that Stand Alone Courses should be added as a Future Agenda item.
