Schmit reported briefly on the MSOP Report schools and asked for more time to study the reports. There are good ideas, but lots of information to go through. Reform should be faculty driven. Caldwell suggested that the detail of South Carolina s committee structure may fragment the curriculum. Strengths were that there was broad faculty participation.
Weaknesses are lack of cross talk and some areas have no administrative home.
Strengths are the general faculty involvement. There is also chair involvement before implementation of change. Accountability is clear. Weakness may arise when faculty is not considered. Dean seems to chair several committee and have a great deal of control.
