The committee also considers and notifies the Senate of deletions of courses or minor changes in courses, such as course titles, descriptions, or credit hours... The committee will also provide continuing evaluation of programs of instruction, educational policies, and admission standards. The Academic Affairs Committee will assess Writing Intensive and Computer Usage courses."
