  • 1 If you have specific questions or concerns, please visit with your CASNR Curriculum Committee Representative to discuss the specific agenda item.
    • Any unit or group of at least five (5) faculty may challenge a decision of the Committee that requires faculty action by filing a written objection. The unit administrator will coordinate the written response to the Dean by February 28, 2022. Unless the concerns can be resolved with clarification, revision, and/or withdrawal and re-submission, the matter in question will be brought before the full faculty for discussion, debate and vote. If no written objections are properly filed, the action will be considered approved by the College faculty and either implemented or forwarded to the appropriate University Committee (University Curriculum Committee, Graduate Council and/or Academic Planning Committee) with the faculty recommendation for approval.
