University Wide Impact Committee Minutes
Thursday, March 29, 2001
University Student Center, Room 207

Present:  Frank Harris (Chair),  Rosalyn Amenta, Marty Hartog, Megan Macomber,
Kathy Swenson, Tony Maltese

Recorder:  Katherine A. Swenson

Call to Order:  9:30

Announcement
Frank Harris announced that he was informed that the committee needs a UWIC member to serve on the Writing Board for next term.

Banner
Harris brought up his meeting with Susan Tiso in which they discussed Banner and the implementation of the verification process.  He said Tiso indicated that Banner is supposed to be up and running in the fall (Tiso later said it will be in the fall of 2002, not this year) so that students and advisors will be able to access student CPR forms via computer

AUR Courses excluded as Options in Some CPRS
Question of whether all the AUR courses will come up on the CPR form, or whether there will be some courses that departments may have excluded as options for their majors.

Harris brought up the question of whether departments have the right to exclude AURs from their particular CPRs. It is the consensus of UWIC members that they do.

AUR master list
Harris said that an All-University Requirement Master List does not exist. Susan Tiso compiled a "Master List" using the 2000-2001 catalog and UWIC/NMC minutes.

Marty Hartog said there should be two lists of AURs:  one a master list of currently offered of AURs;  the other a list of AURs not currently offered, but which satisfy the requirements for students who may be transferring in.

Verifying AURS
A long discussion ensued about the role UWIC should have in verifying AURs.  Several suggestions were made.  They are as follows:

Roslyn Amenta suggested there be a meeting with Phil Smith, Lynn Kohrn, a representative from each department and UWIC members to hash out CPRs
and AURs.

Roz Amenta recommended that the "Master List" of AURs come from Phil Smith and circulate to all the departments.

Hartog suggested that the list could be given to all UCF members to bring to their Department Chair or DCC for AUR changes.

Megan Macomber recommended that after changes have been made with the Departments, then the paper trail should go back to Phil Smith for verification. Then the CPRs should go back to the Department Chair to do the rest of the   CPR form.

Recommendations
The committee ultimately voted ''yes'' on the following motion:
''The AUR Master List compiled by Susan Tiso should go to the UCF liaisons with instructions attached.  The liaisons should take the Master List to their respective Department Chairs for changes to be made.  After that, the AUR and CPRS should go to Phil Smith for administrative verification."

In addition, it is the consensus of the committee that UWIC, which identified the problem and recommended remedies, should not be involved in the verification of AURs and CPRs.  UWIC sees this as an administrative function that should be handled elsewhere so the committee can focus on the work that is its charge.
