The Committee advises the
Faculty with regard to the instructional programs of the
University. The Committee will review the curriculum as a whole and
that of each College. The Committee will be responsible for
formulating and recommending policy for all academic programs not
under the jurisdiction of a College, e.g., the Graduate Program,
Summer Programs, Honors Program, and University Course Program. The
Committee will be primarily responsible for formulating and
recommending policy concerning grading and evaluation of students, and
the keeping of records thereof. The Committee will oversee the
construction of the University Calendar and the scheduling of courses,
and will oversee the publication of the Catalogue. The Committee will
make recommendations on policy on information resources (e.g.,
Information Services and Resources, Bookstore, Administrative
Services), as they affect the instructional program. The Committee
will review, recommend, and, when charged by the University Faculty,
make provision for the administration of experimental and special
instructional programs beyond the jurisdiction of the Colleges. The
Committee will be responsible for formulating and recommending policy
for admissions and financial aid.
The Committee may choose or may be instructed by the University
Faculty to study matters within the purview of the Colleges which
nevertheless concern the whole Faculty. The Committee will keep itself
fully informed of the deliberations of the Curriculum Committees of
the Colleges.
The Committee shall make such recommendations to the Faculty as it
deems appropriate. It may also make recommendations to the Curriculum
Committees of the Colleges or directly to appropriate administrators;
when it does so, it shall inform the Faculty by the next regular
Faculty meeting, at which time the Faculty may alter or reverse such
recommendations. The Congress of the Bucknell Student Government (BSG)
also may request the Committee or the Faculty to reconsider those
recommendations. The Congress may also formulate alternative
recommendations for the consideration of the Committee and the
Faculty.
