Purpose and Responsibilities Section 3. Membership and Elections Section 4. Senators, as representatives of the College or Library from which they are elected, shall report proceedings of the Senate to their constituent faculties. Senators, as representatives of the General Faculty, may bring to the Senate such proposals as have originated from any university constituency, including individual faculty members, Colleges, students, administrators, Councils, or other groups within their colleges or the library. Section 5. Officers Section 6. Councils Section 7. Faculty Senate Meetings Section 8. Right of Faculty Appeal Section 9. Amendments and Bylaws (inserting a new section in Article II ) Section 10. Curriculum Development and Review II.10.1 The responsibility for curriculum development and revision rests with the faculty and is overseen by the Faculty Senate. Primary responsibility resides in the department and college in which the curriculum is housed and delivered. Four university-wide groups have responsibility for reviewing proposed changes in the curriculum. These are the Liberal Studies Committee, the Graduate Council, the Professional Education Council, and the University Curriculum Committee. II.10.2.a The Liberal Studies Committee (LSC) considers all changes in the liberal studies curriculum and program including the total revision of this program. Membership will include elected representatives from each of the Colleges and Schools of the university in a proportionate manner, with the total size consisting of fifteen members. The number of LSC members to be elected from each College will be determined by calculating the proportion of full-time equivalent (FTE) undergraduate students in each unit. Each College, including the Library, shall have at least one member on the LSC. Elections will be staggered and terms will be three years. Ex officio non-voting members will include the Director of the Advising Center, the Chair of the Academic Policy and Review Council, and the Assistant Vice Chancellor for Undergraduate Studies. A quorum will be met when a simple majority of voting members is present. The chair shall be elected from the membership at the first meeting each year, can serve a subsequent term, and is eligible to vote on all matters. II.10.2.b In the event that the liberal studies program is reviewed as a whole, the chair of the LSC will work in conjunction with the chair of the University Curriculum Committee (UCC; see below) to ensure that all colleges are formally consulted via each of their curriculum committees. If a major liberal studies program change is recommended, the joint LSC/UCC committee will then bring a formal resolution to the Faculty Senate for action. II.10.3 The Graduate Council considers all changes in the graduate curricula of the university, excluding graduate education programs, which are overseen by the Professional Education Council. Membership in the Graduate Council will be determined as described below in Article III Section 4.1. II.10.4 The Professional Education Council (PEC) considers all changes in undergraduate and graduate education programs. Membership includes faculty from the College of Education and Allied Professions, the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Fine and Performing Arts, the university administration, area public school professionals, and ĢƵstudents as outlined in the PEC By-laws (http://www.wcu.edu/12499.asp). II.10.5 The University Curriculum Committee (UCC) considers all new programs as well as new courses not related to Liberal Studies, Graduate Council, or Professional Education Council curricula. Some of the matters considered by the UCC include planning undergraduate and non-degree curriculum and reviewing the following: establishment of academic programs/majors, certification programs, minors, or concentrations within an existing major; consolidation of existing programs/majors; substantial revision or curricular modifications of programs/majors; major extension of academic programs/majors to off-campus sites; and changing titles of academic programs, majors, minors, or concentrations. Membership in the UCC will include a representative appointed from each colleges curriculum committee and an appointed member each from the library, LSC, PEC, and Graduate Council. Six additional members will be elected, one from each college that develops curriculum, and will serve three-year staggered terms. No college may have a majority of members. A quorum will be met when a simple majority of voting members is present. The chair shall be elected from the membership at the first meeting each year, can serve a subsequent term, and is eligible to vote on all matters. II.10.6 The Faculty Senate will receive all recommendations from the above curriculum councils and committees and has the final faculty vote on new programs, new degrees, new majors, new minors, liberal studies changes, program deletions, and changes to university level curriculum policies and requirements. When new programs are in development, the Faculty Senate shall discuss these programs and take action on them either in conjunction with or prior to the delivery of requests to plan or requests to implement a program are sent to General Administration.
