Representative for 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:
