From the College of Biological Sciences Pattern of Administration:
“The Curriculum Committee deals with instructional issues and with recommendations to the Council on Academic Affairs on course and curricular matters.
The committee has faculty and student members. There is one faculty member from each Department, appointed by the Dean from nominees elected by the faculty of the Department. Appointments are for three years and staggered cyclically, 2-2-2. A retiring member is not eligible for immediate reappointment. From nominees suggested by the Executive Committee, the Dean appoints an undergraduate student and a graduate student as full voting members of the committee. Student members serve one-year terms and are eligible for reappointment. The committee annually elects a chair from the faculty members who have completed at least one year of service on the committee. The chair will appoint a vice chair for a one-year term from the faculty members of the committee. An Assistant/Associate Dean of the College serves as an ex-officio member of the committee. The Undergraduate Dean of the Colleges of Arts and Sciences or her/his designee serves as Secretary of the committee. The Assistant/Associate Dean and the Secretary are non-voting members except in the case of a tie vote where the Assistant/Associate Dean may cast the deciding vote.”
Note also that the College of Biological Sciences Curriculum Committee serves as the Curriculum Committee responsible for the Biology major. Furthermore, we make curricular recommendations to CAA through the Graduate School and/or the Colleges of the Arts and Sciences.
