Item 2223-09: Syllabi Language re: RVSM
On October 29, Provost Woodruff requested that the University Committee on Undergraduate Education “consider the matter of adopting standardized language on RVSM on course syllabi” in response to various ASMSU advocacy efforts (Attachment C on today’s agenda).
Section 4.4.5. of the Bylaws for Academic Governance says that UCUE has “shared responsibility with the Dean of Undergraduate Studies to consult with the Provost on . . . policies pertaining to curriculum revision, methods of instruction, evaluation of instruction, and advising and counseling for undergraduate students and programs,” as well as “on other policies pertaining to undergraduate education.” Since syllabus language falls under the auspices of section 4.4.5., Silvestri referred the matter to UCUE.
The committee discussed the matter at its November 10, 2022 meeting. UCUE supports ASMSU advocacy related to Relationship Violence and Sexual Misconduct (RSVM) as detailed in Bill 57-61, Bill 57-65, and Bill 57-92.
