Specifically, the motion proposes to have the Vice President for Student Affairs/Enrollment Management or his or her delegate as a non-voting member of the committee. The rationale is that Academic Standards overlaps with Enrollment Management, making it worthwhile to have formal representation from Enrollment Management on the Academic Standards Committee.  The motion is to add to the sentence in Article IV, Section 16 concerning non-voting membership the phrase “and the Vice President for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management or his or her delegate.” The motion was seconded.  John Brown (COBA) offered an amendment to decrease perceived ambiguity over who actually votes in the event of a tie, and proposed: Non-voting members shall be the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs and the VP for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, or their designated representatives. In the case of tie votes, the VPAA or designated representative can vote to break the tie.  Cyr (CLASS) noted that since this is a Bylaw change, any modification to the wording would require bringing this back as an agenda item at the next meeting. Brown (COBA) withdrew his motion.  Edwards (COST) requested clarification on how the coordination between the two committees was envisioned to operate.  Levernier (COBA) provided that the Enrollment Management representative would report to that committee on activities of Academic Standards that could impact enrollment, and vice versa. There may be issues that Enrollment Management is not concerned about (e.g., appeals), and in the event of one committee doing something the other dislikes, it would not be likely to get past the administration. There was additional discussion on the role of the Registrar on this committee (technically the Provost’s delegate) and whether the Director of Admissions serves as well (they do not.)  Vice President Bleicken clarified that Enrollment Management is very interested in appeals and anything else that affects enrollment. She noted her support for the motion, citing enhanced communication between the two groups. The motion passed unanimously.
