- Welcome
- Introductions – round table brief introductions of all new and continuing ASC members
- Chair’s remarks & Updates on results from last year’s ACS agenda items - Stephen Mojzsis (3:45)
- Dean’s remarks - James White (4:00)
- Updates requested from the Dean on financial health of the College. Appointment of the new Associate Dean of Social Sciences (David Brown). Searches for new Undergraduate Recruitment and New Student Program Coordinator position. Other business.
- New business
- Results of the ASC survey
- A summary of your responses to the ASC Qualtrics survey and paths forward for the Council.
- Vote on By-Laws of the ASC (4’) (4:15)
- A Motion (introduced by ASC ExCom): Now, the Chair of the Arts & Sciences Council is limited to no more than twoconsecutive terms. Previously, the suggestion was floated (most recently by past-Chair Rob Rupert) that this be modified so that the Chair of the Arts & Sciences Council shall serve no more than three consecutive terms.
- Rationale for the Motion: An argument can be made that the role of the ASC Chair is tied to the typical professional appointment timescale of a College administrator, which is on the order of three to five years. The advantage of extending the term limit to three years is that institutional memory is better preserved, the ASC is a complex organization to lead, and that adequate time for preparing the in-coming chair would be provided by extending the term by another twelve months. This does not change the policy in the By-Laws that requires an annual election of the Chair, as such the democratic safeguards remain in place in determination of Council leadership.
- 5b. Outcomes of the ASC Executive Committee meeting with Provost Moore
- We requested that the Provost immediately commence the process of searching for a new permanent Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences. This proposal was rejected by the Provost. The ASC ExCom will update on developments.

- Dean’s remarks, James White (3:32)
- Questions for the I/D: Nature and timing of Budget cuts. Change in formula for growth in enrollment funds. Why? To implement a more data-based model, based directly off measured student credit hours rather than estimates. Course fees? College vs. Division vs. Departments model for recouping funds because of the change in Policy from the Provost’s office. Differential tuition model?

- Suggested Change to By-Laws of the ASC (5-8’) (4:40)
- Consideration for discussion prior to a Motion (introduced by ASC ExCom): Currently, the Chair of the Arts & Sciences Council is limited to no more than two consecutive terms. Previously, the suggestion was floated (most recently by past-Chair Rob Rupert) that this be modified so that the Chair of the Arts & Sciences Council shall serve no more than three consecutive terms, and further, that nobody can cumulatively serve more than three terms in the course of their career.
- Rationale: An argument can be made that the role of the ASC Chair is tied to the typical professional appointment timescale of a College administrator, which is on the order of three to five years. The advantage of extending the term limit to three years is that institutional memory is better preserved, and that adequate time for preparing the in-coming chair would be provided by extending the term by another twelve months. This does not change the policy in the By-Laws that requires an annual election of the Chair, so that democratic safeguards remain in place in determination of Council leadership.

The Chair will request time to meet with faculty in those departments to explain the role of the ASC and solicit feedback and participation; BFA has moved forward with recommendation of a new campus information source to replace the defunct Silver & Gold newspaper; Deadline for white papers to the Academic Futures, there are some relevant WPs that have been posted that ASC ought to be aware of, for example a white paper on College reorganization that effectively preserves the College but changes the nature of Dean-ships (authored by J. Cumulat, L. Farmer and K. Julien was shared with ASC’s ExCom) has been circulated that is under review right now. Ask Amy Lavins for a specific, line-item campus budget.

- Chair’s remarks, Stephen Mojzsis
- Dean’s remarks, James White
- New Business
- College Late Drop Policy, update (discussion led by Leslie Irvine, Cindy Justice)
- There has been some concern from the administration that the new policy ASC adopted will cause problems with academic scheduling, among other things. We as a body must address these concerns directly, and make recommendations for moving forward with implementation.
- Online Education Implementation Committee, update (discussion led by Saskia Hintz, Vilja Hulden; Neeraja Sadagopan; Stephen Mojzsis)

- DACA position statement – VOTE
- We are well into the College’s Strategic Planning, and this threat to our DACA students must be addressed if we are to live up to our Vision Statement: “”The College of Arts and Sciences cultivates critical, creative, and compassionate thinkers.”

We celebrate the important contributions of all students without exception and regardless of their immigration status. Our students are a priceless asset to the Boulder community, to Colorado, and to our nation. The Arts & Sciences Council further recognizes that impediments to the success of DACA students should be viewed as obstacles to us all, and as such, challenging any and all erosions of rights to any group in our community is our collective responsibility."
- Academic Future Visioning Process – Rethinking the University
- The Provost’s Office has composed the “Central Committee” as part of this process. We have at least two members of the ASC that are on this committee. BFA Chair Bob Ferry, past-ASC Chair Rob Rupert, and ASC Stephen Mojzsis attended the Nov. 9th Academic Futures forum entitled “Strengthening Faculty Governance.” Goal is to address the core mission of the university. Comments solicited from the ASC.
- Department By-Laws in the College of Arts & Sciences – VOTE
- MOTION for VOTE: That all units (departments or programs) that offer courses in the College have an on-going means to critically evaluate the curriculum from that unit. This requirement may necessitate a standing Curriculum Committee in each unit to help implement the new Core Curriculum. Courses must be vetted, and ASC’s Curriculum Committee has changed its role.
- Change to By-Laws of the ASC
- MOTION for VOTE: That the Chair of the Boulder Faculty Assembly be recognized as an Ex-Officio member of the Arts & Sciences Council, and as such, shall be invited to the monthly ASC all-hands meeting.

- On the RADAR (e.g. Advancement Office)
- Strategic Planning Committee just announced that the plan will be released by June 30, 2018. Restructuring of the course program fees, for further discussion. ASC representation and information sharing with departments and programs. Academic Futures discussions ongoing. Ask Provost Moore to visit ASC, what does he wish to do with representation? Many have asked for a replacement for the Silver & Gold newspaper (Gold & Silver) that would be a campus information source. Representation on campus governing bodies and the ‘restructuring’ of the College. Academic advising.
