Purpose:
- Continuously reviewing the university’s curricular processes, practices, actions, and systems to ensure they reflect the curricular process outlined in the Faculty Senate Constitution and Bylaws. Any recommendations and/or resolutions of the Committee shall be directed to the Faculty Senate for appropriate disposition.

- Inviting the submission of items of concern regarding curricular matters from faculty members or administrators for discussion.
- Preparing an annual report to be presented at Faculty Senate and posted to the Faculty Senate website during the fall semester. The report should (1) include data on the number of curricular proposals submitted and approved during the previous academic year, distinguishing between types of proposals; (2) describe any substantial changes made to curricular processes, practices, or systems; (3) explain items of concern that were discussed and/or addressed; and (4) outline the process by which items of concern can be submitted to the committee.
