Art Fisher, Dean of Education, requested input on the Education Department changing 12 credit hours to graduate level in the Special Education component. He understood the department could run a program without committee approval for one year. Tony Fresquez thought it was for a semester.

Holly called for New Business.

NEW BUSINESS

Art Fisher stated he had received authorization from Gerald Gohering, South Dakota State Certification Director, to initiate a Special Education Graduate Degree Program at OLC, which is over and above this initial request of changing existing courses to 12 graduate credit hours in the existing program. Gerald Gohering suggested OLC also have an articulation agreement with another college with a graduate degree program in special education.

MOTION by Anthony Fresquez that Instructional Affairs Committee approve and support OLC Education Department efforts changing some courses to graduate credit hours (12 hrs) from the existing special education program, which would continue undergraduate credit and reflect duel numbering for those courses.

SECOND Jean Reeves.

Approved: Unanimous

Discussion reflecting NCA’s review and the need to keep them advised of academic developments like the SPED program.
