Approval of TTU General Education Committee Procedures

In a memorandum dated November 15, approval was requested for the following:

Procedures of the TTU General Education Committee
Rev. 11-8-05
A.	Name
	The TTU General Education Committee (TTUGEC)
B.	Place in the TTU Committee Structure
	The TTUGEC reports directly to the Provost, as mandated by the Tennessee Board of Regents, but also serves as a subcommittee of the TTU Curriculum Committee.
C.	Purposes
	1.	Monitor all courses within the General Education Program, ensuring that they satisfy the goals and measurable outcomes for each category established by the General Education requirements.
	2.	Evaluate and approve or disapprove all courses submitted for inclusion in the TTU General Education Program.
	3.	Develop appropriate procedures, forms, and policies relating to the TTU General Education Program.
	4.	Resolve Program issues as they arise.
	5.	Assist the campus curriculum committee in assuring all general education requirements are met for all degree programs.
	6.	Work with the TBR and TTU’s Provost to develop and administer assessment methods for the General Education Program.
D.	Membership
	1.	Representation. The Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences chairs and serves as a permanent member of the Committee. Other members include:
		a.	One tenured or tenure-track faculty representative from each of the six areas of the Program: Communications, Mathematics, Natural Science, Social/Behavioral Science, History, and Humanities/Fine Arts.
		b.	One representative from any college or stand-alone school not already represented by a member in one of the above categories.
		c.	Three additional members, drawn from the TTU faculty or administrative staff, as at-large representatives.
	2.	Method of appointment. Members will be appointed by the President upon recommendations from the Provost/ Vice President based on recommendations by the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.
	3.	Terms. Members will serve three-year, renewable terms, staggered so that a third of the Committee is replaced or renewed each year.
	4.	List of Members. The Chair of the TTUGEC will keep on file a current membership list indicating the unit affiliation and term of each member.
	5.	Process for appointments. Each April, the Chair of the TTUGEC will send to the Provost a list of recommended appointments to fill vacancies left by members whose terms are about to expire. The Provost forwards the list, revised as he or she deems appropriate, to the President for approval or further revision and approval.
E.	Meetings
	The TTUGEC will meet at least twice each semester, excluding the summer. During each Spring Semester, the Chair will consult with the Office of Academic Affairs to establish dates for the following year’s meetings, ensuring that they fall at least nine (9) calendar days before the next TTU Curriculum Committee meeting and at least three (3) class days* after the most recent CAS Curriculum Committee meeting. Special meetings may be called by the Chair as needed.
F.	Process for Proposals of Courses, Course deletions, and Course Changes
	1.	Routing. Before reaching the TTUGEC, proposals must be approved by the department where the course will be taught and the college curriculum committee in which that department is housed.
	2.	Timing. Proposals must reach Chair of the TTUGEC no later than three (3) class days prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting.
	3.	Form. Proposals will follow the standard format approved for curricular proposals at TTU (see http://www.tntech.edu/ucc/guidelines.htm). In addition, any proposal for a new course must include a checked list of outcomes (see under “General Education Learning Outcomes” at http://www.tntech.edu/gened/) to be met by the course and a rationale for adding it to the Core list.
G.	Process for Placing other Items on the TTUGEC Agenda
	Proposals, concerns, issues, or ideas, other than course proposals, may be sent to the Chair of the TTUGEC in any concise, readable form, and must reach the Chair no later than three (3) class days before the next regularly scheduled meeting.
H.	Rules of Order
	Discussion and voting will generally follow the latest edition of Roberts Rules of Order, Newly Revised and any disagreement regarding procedures for discussion or voting will be resolved with reference to Roberts Rules.
I.	Quorum and Voting
	1.	A quorum for official voting is two thirds of the membership.
	2.	Approval of any proposal requires a majority of those voting.
	3.	Voting may take place in face-to-face meetings, through campus mail, or through email.
J.	Meeting records
	Although detailed minutes will not be kept of TTUGEC meetings, the Chair will ensure that dated copies of approved proposals and policies are kept and filed.
K.	Subcommittees
	To ensure wide faculty involvement in key decisions, subcommittees will be formed to advise the TTUGEC.
	1.	Chairpersons and Purpose. One regular TTUGEC member in each General Education area is appointed by the TTUGEC Chair to lead a subcommittee which addresses issues related to that area of the Program.
	2.	Members. Subcommittees must include only full-time faculty members and, except for their chairpersons, may include faculty members not currently on the TTUGEC. Each year when there are issues to be considered by a subcommittee, its chair appoints his or her own committee members in consultation with the appropriate department chair(s) and with the approval of the Chair of the TTUGEC. Updated lists of the subcommittees are kept on file by the subcommittee chairs as well as the Chair of the TTUGEC.
	3.	Meetings. All subcommittee meetings are special, called meetings to consider particular issues.
L.	Website
	The Coordinator of General Education Events, in consultation with the Chair of the TTUGEC, will maintain a website named “General Education Curriculum and Policies.” The site will provide basic information about the program for the use of advisors and students.
M.	Adoption and Amendment of Procedures
	These procedures may be adopted or amended by an affirmative vote of two-third of the total membership, provided the amendment has been discussed at a regular meeting and has been submitted in writing to each committee member at least three (3) class days prior to the discussion. Such amendments are subject to approval by the Provost.
N.	Effective date
	These procedures become effective on the day after they are approved by the TTUGEC, the TTU Curriculum Committee, and the Provost.

* A “class day” is defined as any day in which TTU classes are officially in session.

Motion. Dean Armistead moved to approve the procedures. The motion was seconded by Ms. Galloway and carried.

SOC/CJ 3650 Juvenile Delinquency (submitted as "SOC/CJ 3610)

Motion. Dr. Stanger moved to approve the change effective Fall 2006. The motion was seconded by Dr. Loutzenheiser.

Because SOC/CJ 3650 was the recommended change made at the meeting, replacing the original request of SOC/CJ 3610, Dean Armistead made a friendly amendment that approval be contingent upon approval by the College of Arts and Science Curriculum Committee.

A vote was taken and the motion carried.

Approval of New Catalog Wording to Satisfy SACS Non-Compliance

In a memorandum dated November 30, approval was requested for the following:

There are two items listed in the Report of the SACS Off-Site Review Committee of Non-Compliance that need the Curriculum Committee’s attention.

“The institution provides no evidence that a defined and published policy for evaluating and accepting credit for professional certificates is published.”

“The institution cites a detailed process for assuring that academic credit awarded for course work taken on a noncredit basis is equivalent and documented. However, the process described in this response to the standard could not be found in the undergraduate or graduate catalogs. The institution offered no documentation that this policy is an official procedure of the institution and has been approved by appropriate authority and governance procedures.”

New Catalog Copy for 1 and 2:

Academic credit may be awarded on occasion for professional certification or non-credit courses. Requests for the award of such credit must be submitted to the appropriate department chairpersons. As the executor of departmental policy, he or she will evaluate the requests and submit a recommendation to accept or reject them to the college dean and Office of Records for final approval.

Motion. Prof. Tolbert moved to approve the new catalog statement and form, which would be on the web and on the Advanced Placement page of the catalog. The motion was seconded by Dr. Loutzenheiser.

In the new catalog statement, for clarification of appropriate chairperson approval, Dr. Loutzenheiser suggested revising the following sentence:
From:
Request for the award of such credit must be submitted to the appropriate department chairpersons.

To:
Requests for the award of such credit must be submitted to the departmental chairperson of the department in which credit is being sought."

A vote was taken and the motion carried.
