Next, Dr. Priddy explained a new procedure for schedule changes for all education programs. In

submit it to the Dean’s office for final review and sign-off. The Dean will submit changes to
Connie Wilson in Dr. Cheatham’s office. Mrs. Wilson will re-direct any proposed changes made
by any faculty back to the Dean’s office. The purpose of the change is to insure that the most
