Jill Malik (chair)

Committee met on December 3. Committee members predominately discussed the three W Policy proposals and the merits and concerns regarding each. There were no main updates from the Academic Integrity Subcommittee or Faculty Authored Textbook Subcommittee. The Absences and Attendance Subcommittee is continuing to prepare a survey with OPIE and met with VPAA Beaudin which resulted in the addition of questions regarding attendance in online classes. Survey is slated to be disseminated to faculty in Spring 2020.
