The College Council meeting addressed several new business items, primarily driven by the Faculty Senate and AAAC. Key discussions included the nomination of Dr. Kevin Barrows as Graduation Speaker, a proposal to suspend student access to Canvas for non-payment of school bills (with specific penalties tied to payment deadlines), and the revision of Form A03 concerning inconsistencies in the Faculty Handbook regarding the AAAC membership. Placement standards for mathematics courses were recommended for revision to align with Kansas Board of Regents standards using a multiple-measures model instead of relying solely on Accuplacer scores. Further faculty actions included passing proposals to transition online academic programs to an 8-week course model (AO1), replacing developmental algebra courses with a combined College Algebra with Lab course (AO3), reorganizing the Communications major (AO4), revising the Writing Program assessment plan to remove the assessment of writing samples from WI courses, and making changes to the Sports Management minor and major curriculum by adding Public Relations and dropping a redundant course. Finally, the council approved a student petition for early graduation.
