General Education Committee

This committee shall recommend guidelines, standards, and academic policies for the General Education Program. It shall also consider and approve courses proposed for the Freshman Year Experience, and evaluate all components of the program.

This committee shall oversee a three-year pilot period of the various components of GEP beginning in Fall 2000, during which time it shall gather data relevant to the implementation of GEP components.

This committee shall consist of 17 members including the Vice Provost for Academic Programs and Planning; Undergraduate Studies Committee representative; Admissions representative; Registrar's representative; Residence Life representative; Center for Teaching Effectiveness representative; one faculty representative from each college offering undergraduate degrees, with the exception of arts and science which shall have three representatives, who will be selected by the Committee on Committees and Nominations; one graduate student; and two undergraduate students.

The college representatives will be different from those members currently serving on the Undergraduate Studies Committee. The Committee on Committees and Nominations will select the Chairperson of the Committee on General Education and will stagger the initial terms of office of the college representatives who will serve two-year terms and who may be reappointed.

Representatives from the Office of the Registrar and the Office of Admissions shall not have voting privileges.
