Committee on
Educational Policy
(Final - Information)
EP.05.30 2004-2005
Annual Report
The 2004-2005 academic year has been a
busy one for the Educational Policy Committee (EPC). The Committee dealt with
many items relating to changes in academic units and curricula; handled two
proposals to rename departments and transfer one department into another; and
reviewed Guidelines for the Academic Calendar. As the table below shows, most
proposals have been put into a form acceptable to and approved by the Senate.
Other proposals have been considered by this committee and its recommendations
reported to administration or other committees. Still other items are
classified as “items still before the committee.” Three standing subcommittees
were effectively chaired by Bettina Francis, Phillip Geil, and Joe Goldberg.
Ms. Diana Morris is commended for her effective staff support, without which the
tasks of EPC would be much more difficult.
