I. Call to Order

The meeting was called to order at 9:35am.

II. Old Business

The standing committee continued its discussion over impact of newly developed 4-credit courses on current AUR and the future LEP and passed the following motion:

New and revised course proposals that entail a change in credits hours should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis with particular attention to the impact on student credit hours for graduation.
 
The motion was passed with the following vote: 12 yeas, 0 nays, 0 abstentions.

III. New Business

The standing committee next discussed the Tier 1 and Tier 2 LEP course proposal forms (recently passed by the UCF).  It was noted that exemplars of sample course proposals would be useful for faculty developing LEP courses.  Also, Tier 1 outcomes for assessment purposes should be developed and available and would be extremely helpful for faculty wishing to participate in constructing Tier 1 classes.

IV. Adjournment
The meeting adjourned at 10:50 am.
