III. DISCUSSION
1. CORs that are five years or older
The list of CORS that are five years or older was handed out again to each Curriculum member. The courses were color coded to show which have been updated and approved by Curriculum, updated but not yet approved by Curriculum, or inactivated. Out of 206 courses on the list, 22 had been updated or inactivated. Courses that need to be inactivated as they haven’t been taught or there are no plans to
Curriculum and General Education Committee Agenda December 8, 2014
teach should be dealt with and inactivated first. Secondly, courses that will have the biggest impact on programs should be dealt with next. Division Chairs need to take the list back to their divisions to discuss a timeline for the CORs to be updated in the spring. The Curriculum and General Education committee has five meetings left for the year, and the CORs need to be spread out evenly, so the committee isn’t dealing with all the courses in the May meeting. When CORs are requested from the Curriculum Technician, the supplemental data table will be included as well as suggested updates to things like the coding as well as the textbook. V. Jacobi spoke about the ILS courses in the Learning Support division. She said that they are waiting for a new director of the TIL to be hired before the ILS courses are updated.
The director should start by March, and the CORS are expected in April or May. S. Eastman spoke about the dental hygiene courses. She expects them to be ready for the February Curriculum and General Education meeting. V. Jacobi said that she will be asking for a timeline from the division chairs on the other CORs.
