students to take courses at other member schools and to study abroad through the programs at other COPLAC institutions.
Chairman Gyawali reported that, at its last meeting, APC reviewed a document on faculty teaching internationally and in domestic exchange programs. The committee is collecting input from KSU faculty who currently work with international exchange programs. The committee is also collecting data for a possible resolution on implementing pass/fail again for the Fall 2020 semester. APC found that, in Spring 2020, 268 students used the pass/fail option. APC will have a resolution on this soon after further consultation with Academic Affairs and others. APC is also looking at the question of whether we should resume student evaluations of faculty this semester. Committee is looking at what other institutions are doing about this. For both of these issues, the question is how much are well still in an emergency situation. Regarding the Academic Integrity statement, Chair Gyawali reported that Dr. Schneller said that this issue was already covered by the human resources employee handbook and might not be needed in the Faculty Handbook.
Chair Wang reported that the committee had some discussion about Faculty Senate forms and which curriculum forms needed a Dean's signature. Also, there was some concern on the committee about using Microsoft Teams for discussion since it keeps a permanent record. The curriculum committee also brought the following action items:
A proposal to change the prefix on all speech (SPE) courses to COM, for communication. Dr. David Shabazz, chair of the division housing the current speech program told the senators that this change would bring us into line with the other state universities and community colleges. This was approved unanimously.
