    2. Deans:
      1. Onimi Wilcox
        1. Pathways – 6 Structural Paths are complete
        2. Still have a lot of figuring out as to where different departments fit into the Structure. It is a mandate that Universities bring there degrees down to 120 credit hours and Community Colleges down to 60 or 61 credit hours. Implementing this into the mix will in some cases it will move the credit hours up to 63/64, and we can’t afford to do this. May have to offer it as a mandate, at not credit.
      2. Layton Childress
        1. “What could we do?” in thought, just like we all have to take the Sexual Harassment tutorials, “what if” we had we had three of those, one for Time Management, one for Financials and one for whatever else we thought. Each Program then imbed them into the core which would require these to be done. They would be counted as completed once taken.
    3. Registrar: Scott Bennett
      1. Nothing to share
    4. Academic Integrity Taskforce: Paul Arrigo
      1. 8 Cases in the Spring 2019

        5. BCIS 1305 (Business Computer Application(
          All of the above were approved by the THECB and are good to go for the Fall semester. There was a title change on SPAN 2312 from what was submitted, it must be titled Intermediate Spanish II. SPAN 2311 title was changed as well to Intermediate Spanish.
