Minutes for NPIC, February 7, 2002

Attendence: B. Elwood, P. Hawley, C. Lukinbeal, T. Paddock (chair) D. Pettigrew, M. Spence

Old Business: We continued the discussion concerning changing the second paragraph of the directions in an effort to alleviate the Dean's concerns. The original paragraph reads as follows:

Prior to the submission of any proposal, it must have been approved and signed by the chairperson(s) of the department sponsor(s), the chair of the appropriate departmental curriculum committee, the chair of the school curriculum committee (if it exists) and the dean of the school. These signatures attest, respectively, that the proposal was approved through proper departmental procedures and that the department and school have the resources to carry out the proposal or are committed to seeking the resources.

The revised paragraph would read:

Prior to the submission of any proposal, it must have been approved and signed by the chairperson(s) of the department sponsor(s), the chair of the appropriate departmental curriculum committee, the chair of the school curriculum committee (if it exists). These signatures attest, respectively, that the proposal was approved through proper departmental procedures and that the department and school have the resources to carry out the proposal or are committed to seeking the resources. Signature of the dean attests that she or he has been apprised of the proposal (early consultation is suggested).

The revision was approved 6-0-1.
