  4. Curriculum Implementation • Father Lannon signed the document • Goes to board of Trustees in October • Implementation is a multi-year process

  5. Issues Discussed • How to graduate students with only a portion of the new curriculum in place? • How to graduate students who can opt for either curriculum? • Can First Year Seminars (FYS) be taken by upper classmen; can other courses satisfy FYS during transition? • Implications for Facilities, esp. regarding science labs for non-majors – 8 year phase-in. • Course certification committees should be formed with equal representational faculty membership.

  6. Issues Discussed • How should faculty be selected for: • First Year Seminar (need 60 sections, offered fall & spring) • Diversity • Globalization • Non-western tradition • Ethics Intensive • Writing Intensive • GEP Assessment • Faith and Reason Course (not representational-faculty from affected areas)

  7. Composition of Implementation Task Force • Implementation Task Force needs to be formed as follows: • 9 members: 2 faculty from each college, 2 faculty from Faculty Senate (1 HSB, 1 CAS), 2 deans and Registrar, ex officio; all faculty should be tenured. • Faculty Senate Executive Committee proposes 1 from each college, to be confirmed by the Faculty Senate. • College Councils determine method of selection and determine 2 representatives each and report to John Tudor so Senate can balance in terms of rank, gender and division. CAS should nominate faculty from two different divisions. • Chair should be elected by members of the Task Force.

  8. Charges for Implementation Task Force • Devise plan to implement new curriculum. • Establish timeline for phase-in & identify what should be ready by what date. • Co-ordinate transition from old to new curriculum. • Determine logistical ramifications for phase-in and work with administration to coordinate impact of new curriculum on facilities. • Determine rationale and faculty eligibility for course development funds. • Recommend how course development grants should be prioritized & administered. • Recommend how to establish course certification committees; each committee should elect its own chair; College Councils recommend 3 faculty for each committee. • Administer the appointment of faculty to the certification committees.

  9. Term Limit • Term of service for Implementation Task Force should be indeterminate with a minimum of 3 years but renewable; need to hire/compensate support staff person, maybe from CAS.
