The chair then selects an ad hoc subcommittee to incorporate suggestions of the faculty. This sub committee will be comprised of one or more of the persons making the proposal, plus a member of the curriculum committee. Other faculty members may join if they wish and if it seems worthwhile and appropriate. Revised proposals are submitted to the chair of the curriculum committee who distributes them among the Educational Leadership and Policy Studies faculty at least one week prior to the next faculty meeting following receipt of the revisions. The topic is again put on the agenda for this faculty meeting.
Discussion is initiated by requesting support for the proposal.
The discussion is followed by a vote by the faculty. Majority vote by the faculty is needed for the proposal to be sent forward. If there is not a majority vote this second time, the issue is to be dropped unless an alternative action is suggested by the faculty. Although A. and B. above outline procedures and tasks that may involve various issues and their discussion and resolve by the faculty, it may be necessary to focus more directly on certain issues of immediate need and that may not necessarily need to be coordinated through committees outside the department. Examples may include but certainly not limited to questions concerning curriculum guides in courses offered in the department, syllabi reviews, course procedures, courses offered for people across program specialties, core course deliberations, etc.
