Requested changes in EXB 126 were tabled pending consultation with College Engineering regarding cross-listing issues. Curriculum changes: Change in name of Genetics major to Genetics and Genomics. Maintenance changes/updating of Evolution, Ecology and Biodiversity (EEB) B.A, B.S. and minor. Educational Policy discussions: Preparation of Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) and Assessment Plans for each major in support of WASC accreditation review. Assessment of PLO’s and assessment of GE learning outcomes will be part of the cycle of campus- wide program review going forward. On the horizon, the Registrar’s office will develop a mechanism to enforce course prerequisites at enrollment. A call will go out to confirm whether currently listed prerequisites should be retained as required courses in the new system or changed to “recommended courses”.

Shared Governance of majors instructors from several departments contribute to the core courses and administration of the major takes advantage of faculty outside the department that focus their research on the topic of the major -- Biological Sciences, Genetics and Genomics, Human Biology?

To ensure continuity of instruction of shared majors Standing Shared Major committee (e.g., vice chairs + instructors) Home department still needed Assigning of instructors/TA, lab budgets, classrooms, awards etc. Curriculum development/updating BASC staff already advises majors

Impediments or Incentives? Financial considerations – how $ is allocated may foster competition between departments for majors Teaching assignments in revised Teaching Formula
