            "text": "Academic Policies Committee Report:\nCommittee Chair Moffett reported the Committee continues to look into online class policies and reached out to other committees in order to be inclusive. PCC Chair Kumar observed that the policy should be consistent across the University. President Smith added that an ad hoc committee developed an evaluation for online classes specific to components relating to online delivery.\nVPAA Brown-Wright said that the charge to develop policies for online courses originated because there are no defined parameters. Courses are going “from face-to face to on-line,” and the Board of Regents wants an assessment as to who approves such changes. A non-senator said he was aware of only one such situation and inquired if there were others. Dr. Brown-Wright replied there have been seven classes that were scheduled to be face-to-face and were changed to on-line, and not necessarily officially. A senator inquired if the study relates to class delivery method or evaluation of the instructor. Chair Moffett replied it is class delivery system.\nVPAA Brown-Wright said the Board wants to look at percentage of on-line students who receive D, F or W and that 29% of freshmen who took online courses failed. A senator asked how many Freshmen failed traditional lecture classes and pointed out that the 29% statistic doesn’t “say anything” if not compared. Another senator observed that the pass-fail rate is virtually the same for both on-line and traditional classes. Brown-Wright said they are not looking at comparisons but only at on-line course statistics. Other senators cited situations when availability of online classes for freshmen contributes to progression toward degree, such as traveling athletes. Brown-Wright reiterated that, as of the last Board meeting, Freshmen are not to be enrolled in on-line classes. Question: does that mean that no 100 level courses are to be offered, even for non-freshmen? Brown-Wright responded, “No, there could be 100 level on-line courses offered if freshmen are not enrolled.” A non-senator pointed out, once again, that some Chairs are not approving any 100 level on-line courses. On inquiry, Brown-Wright verified that this request can be directed personally to her via email. A senator asked Dr. Brown-Wright if there is any written policy currently that prohibits freshmen from taking online courses and if there is a policy prohibiting 100 level on-line courses. She replied that there is no written policy but rather a verbal directive from the Board of Regents.",
