The strong definition of computer science includes computer architecture, data structures, and algorithmic processes. Perger referred to the January 7th draft of the Council charge, which includes identifying faculty for the core general education courses. He felt the Implementation Update should include a message to chairs to tie this to department faculty. We need to know who will teach these courses. George responded that World Cultures, Institutions and Revisions are not a problem and have faculty identified.
Perspectives is still only partially staffed.
Perger felt that if this is the 'law' there should be some discussion of funding also. Discussion followed on whether or not names or just numbers of faculty were necessary. Numbers seemed enough. Bowen said the charge was to identify not to determine who teaches a course. Chairs work with faculty to determine individual faculty roles.
