The College Academic Affairs Committee discusses, reviews, and recommends proposals that affect academic programs within the College, including course proposals, course changes, program changes, and the addition and deletion of programs. Summary notes of each College Academic Affairs Committee meeting are to be taken and distributed to each of the School Directors and the Office of Student Success in a timely manner.

Committee Structure

Membership of the College Academic Affairs Committee includes two full-time faculty members from each School. These members serve two-year terms, with terms staggering to ensure continuity.  Regular members of the Graduate Faculty must make up at least half of the committee.

Committee Eligibility and Membership

All full-time faculty members are eligible for membership. At least one faculty member from each School needs to have graduate faculty membership. The Associate Dean for Student Success and Academic Affairs works directly with the respective Deans and Directors to determine representation. Selection of committee members will occur by August 15 of each Academic Year. The Committee will meet within two weeks of being formed to discuss upcoming committee business. All are voting members of the committee. If a committee member is unable to attend a meeting, they should make every effort to send a similarly eligible proxy. This proxy shall be from the same School. Such proxies are to be afforded full participation and voting privileges. The Associate Dean for Student Success and Academic Affairs is the Chair of this Committee.
