Committee approves consent agenda including faculty‑handbook revisions and program changes
Summary
The ERS committee adopted the consent agenda, which included faculty handbook revisions for UTC and UT Martin, two proposed academic program changes (UTC and UTK), and tenure recommendations; the motion passed by voice vote.
The Education Research and Service Committee adopted its consent agenda by voice vote at the start of the May 31 meeting.
Items listed on the consent agenda included faculty handbook revisions for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and the University of Tennessee at Martin; two proposed academic program changes (one for UTC and one for UT Knoxville); and tenure recommendations for campuses. During the roll call and quorum confirmation the chair asked if any member wished to remove an item; no requests were made and the committee proceeded.
A trustee moved to approve the consent agenda; a second was heard and the committee approved the motion by voice vote. "All those in favor, say aye," the chair said; the committee answered "Aye," and the chair declared the consent agenda adopted.
The committee did not provide further detail on the individual program change proposals during the meeting and no separate roll‑call votes were recorded on the consent items in the transcript.
