Committee backs change to Policy 2210 to streamline course approvals
Summary
The Curriculum Committee recommended removing language in Policy 2210 that requires Board approval before eliminating or adding courses, saying the clause is not a state requirement; the change will go to the Policy Committee for review and the full Board retains final approval.
The administration told the Curriculum Committee on May 21, 2025 that it wants to remove a line from Policy 2210 that now requires Board approval before a course may be eliminated or a new course added. The transcript records the clause presented verbatim as: "No course of study shall be eliminated or new course added without approval of the Board, nor shall any basic alteration or reduction of a course of study be make without such approval." The administration said the clause is not a state requirement and that routine course-guide updates would still come before the full Board for final approval.
Committee members supported streamlining the review process so programmatic changes could move more quickly when warranted by student needs and enrollment. The Curriculum Committee voted its support and will forward the proposed language change to the Policy Committee for formal review; the Board will continue to exercise final approval via the annual course guide vote. No formal Board vote on the policy change occurred at this meeting.
