Insofar as CSCI 306, CSCI 311, and CSCI 312 are concerned, it was agreed that additional documentation would be submitted to correct UCC records with respect to the explanation of how the courses meet the oral and written communication requirements set for all common curriculum courses. The Council received the recommended revisions to the bylaws from Professors Boyd and Butler, and this was introduced as a motion. The Council voted without dissent to recommend to the Faculty on the Discussion Agenda a proposal to amend the Constitution of the Faculty Organization to achieve consistency between the UCC bylaws and the Constitution. The amendment deals with the distribution of Discussion Agenda documentation to all faculty. The student member must have First Year Seminar peer tutor experience, shall serve for a one-year term and shall be selected by the Student Association during the spring semester.
All terms of office begin at the beginning of the fall semester.
The Council then voted without dissent to accept the recommendation to revise the bylaws. Dr. White explained the nature of the Computer Skills Assessment Test submitted by the Department of Computer Science. He stated that the department will be refining the test and administering it to students who have requested an exemption. It was presented to the UCC for information purposes only at this point. The Department had originally been requested to elaborate on the description of the computer skills requirement to obtain standards that could be applied when evaluating transcripts and when students appeal a denial of a waiver.
