Sciences, explained that more faculty will be needed for this program, but that the department is in the process of hiring them.

• Moffett noted that there is documentation of the demand for this track. Merlino responded that yes, many students have consistently asked the department for this program. She added that all of the courses and all of the goals of the program align with APA national standards and the state accrediting body.
• A Senator asked, what is the MA degree? Merlino replied that it is an MA in Counseling Psychology. She added that the department is also planning to add a Certificate in Intelligence and Security in addition to this MA track. KSU is a member of the Bluegrass State Intelligence Consortium, so the department is trying to add curriculum.
• Provost Lucian Yates asked, are these more appropriately called “concentrations,” rather than “tracks”? Merlino replied in the affirmative.

VOTE: Voice Vote – unanimous yes with no abstentions

• The committee also made changes to some of the Curriculum forms:
• oNew Course Proposal Form: a line at the top has been added reminding people to include the signed tracking document. (This line has been added to all the proposal documents.)
• oThe Program Change Proposal Form has been retitled to include “New Program Proposal” to avoid confusion. The dean’s signature line has been removed from this form, so that the dean does not have to sign the paperwork twice.

The document changes were accepted by unanimous voice vote.

• Whittinghill reminded faculty to make sure they use these updated versions of the Curriculum forms, rather than older ones that may still be in circulation. These new forms will be added to the Senate website once they receive approval in Academic Affairs.

• Moffett asked about the due date for changes to be submitted to the committee for approval in time for fall implementation. Whittinghill replied that the March 4^{th} meeting would be the latest date for guaranteed fall implementation.

The committee has been working on their Area Coordinators Survey results. Gibson reported that she had had a lengthy meeting with Ombudsman Wilfred Reilly, and he shed a lot of light the issue of Area Coordinators: originally, University President Christopher Brown had said no to compensated Coordinators. But PCC collected the data and presented a report to the President, who had said he would look at whatever the faculty comes up with. The Ombudsman explained that the President didn't see a need for Coordinators because the Department Chair is paid an extra $10-20K to perform the coordinator duties. Rather than delegating faculty to do coordinator duties, Brown feels that these duties should be performed by the Chairs, but he said that he would entertain a proposal. - Moffett asked Gibson, how recent is this information coming from the President? Gibson replied that she had met with Reilly the past Friday. Moffett noted that he had met with the President a couple of weeks before, and Brown had said that he'd be open to the idea of Coordinators getting paid. Gibson replied that committee member Merlino is drafting a narrative for the survey.

• The committee also discussed the parking enforcement issue. The emailed PR announcements that have come out about parking changes indicate that the Police Chief is responsive to faculty requests. Faculty need to keep open the lines of communication with campus police and the PR department.
