Board confirms multiple academic program changes and approves faculty promotions
Summary
The Board adopted several academic resolutions including conferral of emeriti status, degree-program changes, new business certificates, and approved faculty promotions; Resolution 5 (retirement of Dennis Manos) was read aloud and adopted.
During the Committee on Academic Affairs report, Chair Laura Keehner Rigas presented several academic items for full-Board approval, including conferral of emeriti status, a renaming of the MS Computational Operations Research program, closure of the Peninsula Center, new business certificates, and bylaw modifications for A&S and CDSP.
Resolution 5, accepting the retirement of Dennis Manos, was read aloud and adopted unanimously. The Board later approved Resolution 3 on faculty promotions in open session; the minutes record Ms. Rigas and Mr. Brownlee voting no on that item.
The Academic Affairs committee held deliberations and then asked that one resolution (Resolution 3) be held for later consideration; that resolution was approved after the closed-session return, with two recorded dissenting votes. The minutes reflect committee review of admissions, COLL curriculum, and post-tenure faculty development as background to the approvals.
