I. Approval of Minutes
1. March 2022 Minutes
Karen Guthmiller made motion; Dana Woods seconded to approve minutes.
Motion passes unanimously.
II. Officer Reports
1. CAAC Chair: Joe Ganakos
There were some issues with a previously approved submission from logistics. Jodi brought it to Joe’s attention, where he made an executive decision on behalf of CAAC, as we had voted in good faith, incidentally it was a matter of rearranging things. It turned out to be a sequencing issue. Shari worked with Nicole and Laura to present stackable certificated for logistics leading to the associate degree. She had submitted one change with IBUS 1300 option for one of the existing classes and meant for it to go across the board. When Jodi went to make the changes, it was a little different so she discussed with Dr. Walcerz and Joe Ganakos and the decision was that the changes could be made. There was a notation added to the curriculum maintenance request.
Will be convening a committee over the summer to try and “break” the system for CAAC.
There will be a July 2022 meeting.
Need to elect officers today. Election of Officers is done annually in April.
