Campus Curriculum Committee
Committee Overview
The Campus Curriculum Committee (CCC):
- Is appointed by, and advisory to, the Provost in order to assist with Twin Cities all-campus curricular matters.
- Reviews newly-established courses, keeping in mind issues of overlap, possible duplication, and the appropriate disciplinary connections. The CCC provides final approval of these classes after approval by collegiate curriculum committees. The CCC also makes certain that the proposing college has fully consulted with other units.
- Works with colleges in mediating conflicts that arise over curriculum issues.
- Maintains strong communication with the Council for Liberal Education and Campus Writing Board.
- Helps to determine the impact of eliminating courses (on other degree programs).
- Discusses other issues as identified by SCEP, the Vice Provosts, and/or the Provost.
- Has broad representation from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities community. Representatives are selected by the College Deans.
- Does not take on curricular conflicts that arise within colleges (between departments with the college). It is expected that these will be handled by the college administration.
Roles and Responsibilities
The exact roles and responsibilities on the scale and scope of the committee are being finalized, but the committee will:
- Be appointed by, and advisory to, the Provost in order to assist with all-campus curricular matters.
- Work with colleges in mediating conflicts that arise over curriculum issues. Conflicts might arise over course duplication (perceived or real), expansion of liberal education courses, or the creation of new degree programs.
- Maintain strong communication with the Council for Liberal Education. The Council and Campus Writing Board would continue to evaluate and approve new courses, but should make certain that the curriculum committee is apprised of all decisions and course approvals.
- Review newly-established courses, keeping in mind issues of overlap, possible duplication, and the appropriate disciplinary connections. The curriculum committee will provide final approval of these classes after approval by collegiate curriculum committees. The curriculum committee will make certain that the proposing college has fully consulted with other units.
- Help to determine the impact of eliminating courses (on other degree programs).
- Other issues as identified by SCEP, the Vice Provosts, and/or the Provost.
