Adjourn
AT 480: Considerable discussion about the implications of approving 100% online courses. The
general concerns fell in these areas: who will teach and take these courses (verification issues),
do we have the resources to compete with other programs, how will it undermine department
requests for TT lines, and is it a fit with FLC goals and culture (we know it is part of the Strategic
plan)?
