I.Approval of Minutes from the October 4th, 2013meeting.
Allsen moved approval, Leitheiser seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
II.Announcements
A.The Academic Affairs website is currently going through a transformation. The Webmaster is currently working on the UCC site. We have been asked how many years of information we would like to keep current on our site. Our site currently houses information back to 1997. Is five years of information suitable? We are currently looking into where we would archive prior years; on our Provost T Drive or maybe through University Archiving. UCC currently has no set guidelines on this matter.
Discussion ensued – how much documentation should be kept available? The UCC members suggestedthatthe agendas and minutes remain available on the website all the way back to 1997, and that the AVC’s office archive the proposal files in order to preserve space.
