AGENDA

CALL TO ORDER

1. PUBLIC COMMENTARY

The Committee welcomes participation at Curriculum Committee Meetings. Members of the public may address the Committee on any item of interest to the public that is scheduled on the Agenda. For everyone to be heard, please limit your comments to 5 minutes or less.

1. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: ACTION ITEM
2. January 11, 2022 and February 10, 2022, Curriculum & General Education meeting

• CONSENT ITEMS: ACTION ITEM

Items listed under the CONSENT ITEMS are considered routine and are acted on by the Committee in one motion. Consent agenda items should be routine and non-controversial. Members should have adequate time to review consent items. Problems in using a consent agenda occur when members approve consent agendas without first reviewing documents. The result is that consent items can be hastily approved and may result in a cover-up. There is no discussion or debate of these items before the Committee vote unless a member of the Committee, staff, or public requests specific items be discussed and/or removed from the Consent Agenda. Any person can pull items from the consent agenda without reason or vote and moved to new business, to be discussed and voted on individually. Items typically on consent are course outline of record under five-year review, renewal of distance learning modality or inactivation of course (removal from Chancellor Office Inventory of Courses).
