- Discussion topic: Committee role "monitoring of AUR's".
Some AUR's don't run for several years. Students seek variety in AUR's, limited selection when AUR's are listed but never run as courses. Administration is charged with the authority to monitor the availability of AUR courses.
Suggestion: that AUR's that don't run for five years or more should be considered inactive, but when reactivated be submitted to UWIC as a revised AUR. - Revision of UCF Constitution Draft, section 4. University-Wide Impact Committee:
4a. Receives, considers, and evaluates new and revised course proposals pertaining to All-University Requirements (AUR).
