Senate |
Motion: To form a steering committee overseeing an investigation leading to recommending a comprehensive set of policies and procedures guiding textbook selection, use, and cost containment. The committee will consider course sequencing, the use of handbooks, and consistency across campuses as well as address variables, including customized packets, instructor-prepared packets, supplemental material, and textbook bundling. Because textbook policies and procedures entwine with many aspects of TCC’s mission and the commitments that inform that mission, this committee must reflect the complexity of the college as a whole. Therefore, the committee, chaired by a member of the faculty senate and including faculty senators representing all four campuses and transfer as well as career and technical programs, should also include representation from the following constituent groups and governance committees: Administrative Association, Classifies Association, SGA Federation Council, Curriculum and Instruction Committee, Student Success Committee, Student Success Committee, Teaching and Learning with Technology Committee, Workforce Development Committee, Learning Resources |
