  • Review of By-law Changes – Types of questions asked discussion under General Procedures in the Appendix to the By-laws.
    • SACs need to make sure all impacted groups are notified if changes are being made to prerequisites. This especially includes programs that use their course as a prerequisite or program requirement. The form was changed for this purpose last year and it has been better since that time.
    • The types of questions asked and links to relevant web sites would be helpful if sent with the confirmation of on-line submissions. Brett will work on this.
    • New lower division courses must be taught at a minimum of 3 other colleges in Oregon, SACs need to evaluate the course to make sure it doesn’t cross over to upper division (meaning courses that are offered as upper division within the OUS system).
