1. Minutes of November 9, 2000

Approved

2. Academic Senate Report

Rosemary Ward reported that the GE Task Force proposal regarding course distribution was not approved; that a faculty evaluation draft is being forwarded to DTREC; and that a resolution was passed in support of classified staff.

3. Final Exam Policy

Ed Buckley distributed the existing policy, which is in need of revision. The Senate has asked EPCC to develop draft changes.

4. Academic Integrity Policy

The policy was reviewed; EPCC endorsed the language, which was revised this fall in College Council.

5. "Look-Up Menu" Implementation

Discussion focused on the need for access to information and the need to maintain privacy of certain student and faculty information. Currently the Look-Up Menu on CWIS seems to have some information that could have wide access and other information that should be more protected than it is.

6. Update on CR/NCR Limitation

7. "Certificate" Residency Requirements

8. Update on Implementation of "Transfer AA" Degree

This is being handled in A & R without reference to a special degree or major. Rather, the transfer GE pattern is now considered another alternative to the standard AA pattern. Later when a "Transfer" major is developed along with other majors, it will presumably require that all 60 units are at the transfer level.
