Discussion:

  1. Minutes approved

  2. Review of Outstanding Submissions
  • Social Welfare – all agreed changes made following prior feedback from SPPT address issues raised by review. Chair will inform.
  • Art History – all agreed minor changes seem fine, open question remains whether full review is needed based on department records and OFA audit. Recommend for next year. Chair will inform.
  • IPSR – all agreed revisions accord with FSRR using checklist. Minor suggestion only. Chair will inform.
  • Discussion of Indigenous Studies request for review – Chair suggested waiting until August with new committee if no hardship to result. All committee members are willing to do a review this semester if necessary to avoid hardship for an individual. If not, prefer putting off until August. Chair to inform what department responds.

  • All committee members approved Chair plan for fulfilling Special Charges with summary document and brief survey; getting help from OFA to assemble list of contacts.

  • No volunteers for chair among continuing members; will leave to them and FacEx to determine in summer appointments.

 

Committee agreed this is last meeting (unless hardship warrants late acceptance of Indigenous Studies review). Minutes to be approved and other final communications to be done via email.
