APPROVAL OF

approve the minutes as revised.
ONE
READING ITEMS – ACTION
1. COURSE REVISIONS
BUS 154 – Computerized Accounting (3)
(title to:
Computerized Accounting – QuickBooks)
Kathy Mendelsohn
– The community typically looks for a “name brand” accounting software package
and presently there is no way of knowing that this class is using QuickBooks as
the computerized accounting system.
MOTION: MSC (VOTE:
Unanimous) to approve the title change to
BUS
154.
2. TECH REVIEW
COMMITTEES – Chair
In previous
years there were two subcommittees of the Curriculum Committee. Tech I, which no longer exists, reviewed the
outlines for content, completeness and adherence to standards. Tech II reviews degrees/certificates,
Hartnell GE, CSU, UC and IGETC requirements.
Due to Tech 1 not existing for a couple of years that responsibility was
absorbed by the Curriculum Committee.
The Chair is recommending that Tech I and Tech II be consolidated thus expediting
the approval process of course outlines.
MOTION: MSC (VOTE: Unanimous) that
Tech I & Tech II be combined to one subcommittee “Tech Review Committee.”
The Committee discussed the membership of
the Tech Review Committee. As of today’s
meeting, the following will be on the Tech Review Committee: Mary Dominguez, Tony Anderson, Kathy Mendelsohn, 1 counselor and 1 faculty. The Chair will recruit a counselor and a
faculty member.

2. DISTANCE ED
STATEMENT FROM 5/19 MEETING – Allan Hoffman
At the Curriculum Committee meeting of
5/19, there was an Information/Discussion item regarding a revised Distance Ed
Advisory statement that was moved to a motion item. Because of lack of an official quorum, this
item cannot be implemented and will be forwarded to the Distance Ed Committee
for their review, consultation and recommendation.
As a result, this item will return on a
future agenda. Melissa Reeve recalled
that there was not a quorum and that she was not comfortable with the vote.
