In January 2021, the Senate leadership and Provost Rankin asked the SEC to consider whether changes to University policy or practice are needed to better serve the University community, both in times of emergency and in normal circumstances. The SEC met with Provost Rankin on January 12, 2021 to consider and give feedback on the proposal to amend the “Pass” minimum grade equivalent to a C- (see related Senate Document #20-21-32) and develop emergency pass/fail guidelines.
The SEC voted to act on behalf of the Senate to approve the emergency pass/fail guidelines. The SEC's recommendation was forwarded to the President for his approval on an interim basis, pending formal Senate review so that the emergency guidelines could be approved in time to take effect by the Spring 2021 semester.
In addition, the SEC voted to charge the Academic, Planning & Standards (APAS) Committee with with a comprehensive review of the emergency pass/fail guidelines that includes campus community input through the formal Senate process before it is formally codified. The committee will be charged in fall 2021. |
