The meeting was called to order at 3:13 pm. Seventeen senators were present.
A motion carried to rearrange the agenda so that BASC would report before APC and the Senate President's Report and the VP's Report would follow the Regent's Report.
The Minutes of the 12/12/2016 meeting were approved unanimously as distributed.
Chair Andries noted that he was not present for the previous CC meeting, but it had discussed a revision of the Nursing courses that had been approved in the 12/12/16 Senate meeting. One course had an incorrect number and “Gerontological” in the course titles should be changed to “Gerontology.” Graduate Director Dr. Obielodan should have seen all these changes since courses must first pass the Graduate Council before going to CC. Disagreement arose with regard to which courses needed to be changed, so Senate tabled the issue.
