Full+Information

During the faculty meeting on Monday, and on the Wiki dedicated to discussion before the vote, a number of things were said that were not correct. I find it important to correct these pieces of information so that people can vote with full and correct information. Below I will list the incorrect statements, and the correct fact that should replace it in the discussion:

1) **//Incorrect://** It was stated that the Nursing program has until September to reach 120 hours in order to satisfy their accreditors.
 * //__Monday’s All Faculty Meeting__//**


 * //Correct://** Nursing has 3 to 4 years to implement a 120 hour program. Currently, they only have to demonstrate progress.

2) **//Incorrect://** It was stated that Nursing has created a program that was half Gen Ed and half nursing, 60 hours and 60 hours.


 * //Correct://** Only Nursing knows what they have developed, but no program on campus is half/half, nor does any program have 60 Gen Ed hours, so this is likely false.

3) **//Incorrect://** It was said that Nursing has worked with the Gen Ed Committee and the Committee’s Chair, Lori Kanitz, to develop the new curriculum.


 * //Correct://** As of Monday, Nursing had not presented a proposal to the Gen Ed Committee or worked with any of us on the committee to develop the curriculum. But if the new curriculum does alter Gen Ed, it would need to be approved by the Gen Ed Committee, Academic Council, and the Full Faculty to be implemented per the new governance structure.

1) **//Incorrect://** It was stated that the Nursing program will be out of compliance with the Department of Education and not able to receive federal funding.
 * //__Discussion Wiki__//**


 * //Correct://** This is simply false. Neither the Department of Education, nor the Oklahoma Board of Regents have made such a regulation. And as Lori Kanitz noted on the Wiki, at 128 hours we are in the same 124-130 hours range as the elite CCCU schools.
