Faculty groups are already engaged in making curricular revisions to those programs needing changes to meet the requirements of the new calendar. The programs most affected are IDS, ABS, and the MBA. The appropriate Senate committees are ready to take on the necessary curricular approvals. The new calendar will take effect in Fall 2011.
The conversion to quarter hours will take place in Summer 2012. This later date is necessary because of the change affects more programs than the calendar project.
Chris Davis will be leading the implementation of both conversions. Chris, the Interim Provost, and I will discuss the proper support that Chris needs to implement smoothly. Probably a committee is not needed, but he definitely needs the support of the appropriate Senate committees/committee chairs.
