3. Discuss and draft processes for SEM and other curricular decisions for program leaders vs Curriculum Committee

  • CC believes that going to program lead first makes sense

 

Program leads potentially review:

  • is it duplicative?
  • is it in demand?
  • who is the program available to? (what students)
  • are they partnership opportunities across program areas?

 

One rep from CC should attend (whoever makes sense– if there is overlap, that person, otherwise one of the chairs)
