Curriculum.
The Provost presented two certificate additions in the Division of Building, Structures and Site Services, together with her determination that the additions require notification to the Council and not application, and the concurrence of counsel. Trustee Wass asked whether the College was adding programs while the Council had questions outstanding. The Provost stated that the Council’s questions concerned substantive change applications, that these additions were not of that kind, and that the notification would state the College’s basis so that the Council could direct otherwise. Trustee Ferriss-Cope asked that the notification and any response be posted under Policy 2.31. The chair so directed.
Motion: to adopt Catalog Addendum No. 2 to Volume 39, effective with the Spring 2026 term, and to direct that notification be provided to the Council. Sipp/Odiase-Ruhl. Carried 9–0.
