1. Approval of the February 11, 2013, meeting minutes.
Glosser called. Xiang moved approval, Kamal Seconded. No discussion… Unanimously
approved.
2. Discuss College guidelines/rules regarding certificates.
Glosser called. Olson mentioned that the Committee had tabled the proposal from
marketing regarding certificates. Had discussion in different departments. It was taken
back to Curriculum Committee and had to decide how to deal with certificates. We need
to make a policy statement, identify who the targets are, talk about the concerns, the
benefits, why offer the certificates, etc. Certificates are offered from Marketing, IT, and
other depts. We will have to make sure to align with AACSB policies. No set number of
credit hour for certificates, but it requires lower credits than a minor, but higher than an
emphasis. Concerns of double-counting between major, minor, etc. Open to all majors,
including business but no overlap. It doesn’t show up in the student transcripts, but just
shows up a certificate. How it would impact the demand for minors. How it might help
students’ marketability for the job market…
Boostrom moved.
3. Definition of “entrepreneurial leadership”
Entrepreneurial leadership is leading a group of people to manage change in a dynamic
environment.
4. Other business
Moved by Boostrom. Xiang seconded at motion to adjourn. The motion was approved.
