M. Murphy called the meeting to order at 3:32 PM.

 

     1.  A motion to approve the minutes as amended of meeting #5, 11-11-08, was made and passed, 6-0-1, (Rosenhein/Lai).

 

     2.  H. Hudson presented the proposal from Liberal Studies, CAS, for a new concentration in Food Service Management for the Human Interaction and Expression Associates Degree offered only in the prison program.

 

    3.  Y. Peterson presented the proposal from Health, Safety, and Environmental Health Science for modification of the Health Science, Public Health Concentration program.

 

    4.  S. Smidley presented the proposal from Recreation and Sport Management for a new Minor in Recreation Management and Youth Leadership.

 

    5.  E. Kinley discussed the use of the MAPP test as the evaluation/assessment instrument for ISU’s participation in the VSA (Voluntary System of Accountability). He is presently unaware of how other state universities are using the scores or if the population is random or a set of individuals tracked through the years.

 

    6.  A motion was made and passed stating that ISU will accept use of the MAPP Test as the prescribed evaluation/assessment instrument and CAAC will await the proposal from the institution on concept of administration, methodology of  testing, and evaluation schema, 5-0-2, (Malooley/Worley).

 

 

    7. F. Lai will be writing a book for the Spring Semester. CAAC is waiting on a replacement.

 

    8.  In review of the need for definitions of School and College, it was decided a Task Force would be established to make recommendations to the CAAC for formal rules at ISU.  D. Worley agreed to chair the Task Force with H. Hudson, S. Gick, J. Ozmun, C. Stemmans, T. Allen, and B. McLaren.

 

    9.  In reviewing CAAC charges #5 and #8, (reorganization/restructuring of departments and units) it was determined the two are closely related and should be developed concurrently.  An initial workgroup will be the CAAC EC with an invitation to any others of CAAC and ex-officio members.  Chair Murphy declared the executive committee will clarify the two items and bring a recommendation to the whole CAAC for consideration.

 

    10.  A motion to suspend the rules and allow immediate consideration of the proposals was made and passed, 8-0-0, (Rosenhein/Stemmans).

 

    11.  A motion to approve the proposal from Liberal Studies, CAS, for a new concentration in Food Service Management for the Human Interaction and Expression Associates Degree offered only in the prison program was made and passed, 8-0-0, (Rosenhein/Worley). Publish in Academic Notes as approved.

 

    12. A motion to approve the proposal from Health, Safety, and Environmental Health Science for modification of the Health Science, Public Health Concentration program was made and passed, 8-0-0, (Rosenhein/Stemmans). Publish in Academic Notes as approved.

 

    13.  A motion to approve the proposal from Recreation and Sport Management for a new Minor in Recreation Management and Youth Leadership. was made and passed, 8-0-0, (Worley/Stemmans). Publish in Academic Notes as approved.

 

    14.  H. Hudson discussed the present status of the General Education Task Force.  The Task Force met last Friday from 2-5:30 and achieved almost 90% approval on the document proposal. The final proposal is anticipated to be ready in early Spring.

 

   15.  The NCA progress has morphed into an accreditation report and special emphasis reports, mission statement, strategic plan, and building master plan.  Many items are coming into focus with a great deal of action. Service Learning and Hybrid Service learning, HL and HSL designations are now in the course schedule.

 

    16.  The committee adjourned at 5:10 PM.

 

   Respectfully Submitted

   David J. Malooley, Secretary
