Review and approve minutes from January meeting

  • We reviewed and approved the Minutes from the January 11, 2021 meeting.

Announcement of upcoming Honors College events – Toni Doolen

  • None

Discussion of Petition Process for courses and instructors in Honors College – Susan Jackson Rodgers

  • Most of the meeting was devoted to a presentation by Associate Dean Susan Rogers to streamline and amend the approval process for petitioning faculty to serve on committees or teach classes.  The following narrative is proposed language prepared by Susan after our discussion at the meeting. The consensus at the meeting was that we should see the proposed changes in writing and then be prepared to vote on them at our next meeting on March 15.
  • Time was running short so we agreed that at the next meeting in March we could vote on these proposed changes and have a further discussion of the additional ranks that could be included in this policy as well.
