On May 17, 2006, the old math department passes the following curriculum moratorium, before the department split into the current math department and the Brentwood department.
Moratorium
There will be no changes to the Spring 2006 course outlines for a maximum of three years. During this time period, full time math faculty will develop a process to address how the two separate faculty groups will make decisions on changes to these courses. Changes to course outlines will be allowed once this process is in place.
Exceptions to the above will be if
- There is consensus for a change by all full time math faculty, or if
- Accreditation, Title V, articulation concerns, or administration requires an update to a current course outline. These decisions will be made by a vote of all full time math faculty. There will be communication regarding the changes via the department chairs, and special meetings of the entire group if necessary.
Any other operational decision that affects both the Brentwood and Pittsburg departments will be decided by a vote of the entire discipline.
The percentage required to pass a vote for any of the above will be the same as the Spring 2006 math department policy.
Actions
In August 2006, the math department decided that development of a process with Brentwood to change curriculum was a low priority.
