NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) Proposed Curriculum Committee Policy on Faculty Oversight of Courses –The College of Design Curriculum Committee proposes a college-wide policy that all courses (existing and new) must be both sponsored and proposed by governing faculty as defined by Article IV, Section 1 of the Constitution. The name of the faculty sponsor will be listed in ECAS. Courses that are currently in place and will be initiated in the future should have full time faculty supervision. The expectation is that the sponsor will either be able and willing to teach the course or identify another adjunct/full-time faculty member who could also teach the course.
