    Pat Koski reported on a change in wording for Academic Policy 1622.20, Attachment One, which was requested by the committee at the October meeting in order to clarify the process that items for information only were to follow. These actions involved only administrative or organizational changes that have no impact on degree requirements, such as changing a name or code, eliminating or creating departments, moving degree programs from one unit to another, or changing a center or non-academic unit (organizational or administrative changes). There was considerable discussion and the committee approved, by a vote of six in favor and one against, the recommended change of the word approval to review. The item will be reported back to the Provost’s Office for further consideration and inclusion in Academic Policy 1622.2
