Not Present: Scott Graves, Jane McGinn; Marybeth Fede

Meeting began in ASC 229 at 9:40.

The committee met to discuss 1) the department of Accounting and issues surrounding noncompliance with the timeline, 2) PRAC bylaws, 3) editorial revisions to the program review checklist and 4) creation of a mechanism to share comments prior to the meeting - perhaps a Wiki.
Item 1, according to the Academic Program Review document "If a department does not submit the appropriate written report according to the timeline, PRAC will so advise the UCF, which will then grant conditional approval of the program. The Chairperson of PRAC will provide written notification to the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs, dean of the appropriate academic school, chairperson of the department, and coordinator(s)/director(s) of the program(s) to request a meeting to outline a schedule for and aid in the successful completion of the review process" (p. 16-17). The committee charged the chair with writing such a letter to the individuals identified in the document.
Motion: In accordance with the Academic Program Review document, PRAC recommends conditional approval for the department of Accounting.

Item 2, PRAC reviewed and made corrections to the bylaws to be compliant with the new UCF constitution and with actual practices.
Item 3, PRAC continued to make editorial and clarifying changes to the program review checklist to further aid departments in their program reviews.

Meeting was adjourned at 10:50.

Minutes respectfully submitted by Patricia Kahlbaugh
