IV.
DISCUSSION ITEMS:
1.
Approval of SLO Process
V. Jacobi presented two options and also asked the group for any other ideas. The first option is to have
a similar process as textbook changes. A separate form would be created as well as a separate approval
process. Another option would be to include the SLOs on the Curriculum agenda as a consent item.
As courses are revised on the five year cycle, SLOs are looked at and changes are made then. It was
discussed that a form would be created for SLO changes outside of the five year review cycle. This
discussion will continue within division chairs and may come back to the Curriculum committee.
2.
AP 4021 Program Discontinuation Procedure
No new language was submitted. This item will remain on the agenda.
3.
Stats Pathway
V. Jacobi presented that statewide, pathways are being developed for non-STEM majors to complete
algebra to statistics in two semesters instead of three semesters. Vicki has been forwarding the
correspondence to Greg Golling, Diane Jones, and Brian Jean. As Brian researches this, he may present
this information to the group in the future.
