1. The minutes for the August 4, 2023, meeting were approved.

2. Course Change Proposals: 

All course change proposals were approved without opposition. The approved courses are listed on the CIM Course Report created by CourseLeaf and will be forwarded for consideration to the Faculty Senate, meeting scheduled for October 11, 2023.

3. Old Business:  

⦁ Undergraduate Council Membership Rules and Policies (3_undergraduate_council_proposed_changes_09222023)

Upon further review of the changes passed at the May 2023 Faculty Senate meeting, the Council decided no additional revisions to the membership rules or governance policies were required.  Pursuant to those rules, the Council nominated and elected Kevin Hall as chair-elect for 2023-2024.

4.  New Business:

⦁ New meeting date proposed for Undergraduate Council August meeting--

Chairman Ellstrand suggested moving Undergraduate Council August meeting to the 4th Friday of the month, since the committee no longer reviews graduate courses and program proposals. This change would take effect Fall 2024 forward. The proposal was approved by the committee.

 

Next Meeting: October 27, 2023 (agenda deadline is October 13, 2023).

Meeting adjourned at 2:48 p.m.
