There is a need to expand beyond the check boxes on the form…What is the overall principal, etc.

develop some guiding principles, standards. Discussion: considerations for safety, modality, Strategic

Scheduling guidelines…pedagogy, faculty workload,

Subgroup: Identify the problem; What the C&P approach will be

Brandon Grant to lead, Nancy should lead…

Jonathan Pearson

Carolynn Reed

Ping Chu

Shane Anderson

Dawn Tawwater

Identify the problem on processing issue (such as paperwork not complete or not correct, edits needed after being approved, issues identified when processing approvals or overlooked, etc. …. What should the C&P governance approach be; when should an item be voided and require returning. Consistency,

Beth, Brandon, Grant will examine some use cases…asked for volunteers in this exercise to review past processes and guidance on reviewing packets moving forward.

Brandon: For Committee Business Item #2. Who might be willing to serve on small work group on process

validity issues. Troy DeFrates, Lorie Braxton, Erica Wright

And what is the interim process? Use case right now is a cap adjustment request C&P approved that crossed

departments…only one department signed off on it --- Co-Chairs will have the authority by the C&P membersto make a decision on this incidence and the item will need to be returned to C&P in the fall with the corrected documentation and signatures to correct affected course sections, ahead of Spring registration.

Goal to reduce the number of questions, from 24 to ideally 10, if possible, Labor Market report discussion --- Needs to identify: will this provide students jobs, what is the benefit to students
