V.	Other Business

	Faculty Association Bylaws Amendment: First Reading

	Academic Programs Committee Membership Changes Proposal

	The Academic Programs Committee proposes the following change to the Bylaws to remove the requirement of the student members because their attendance has not been occurring, which impedes a quorum when faculty members are also absent from a scheduled meeting. A message was sent by the APC Chair to Student Government and we are waiting for their response. In early September they requested more time for consideration of this proposed change to the committee’s bylaws.

	Article VI Committees, Section 3
	Academic Programs Committee:
	A motion was made and approved to increase the committee membership from 14 to 15 members, with the membership as follows: 12 faculty members, 2 from each of the colleges, one from the Library and one at large, and 3 students. This would increase faculty membership from COCEC from 1 to 2 representatives.

VI.	Suggestions for APC Workflow Improvement
	Lisa Jamba noted that the committee is in the process of updating the package search feature on the APC workflow site. The new feature will allow searches within colleges and departments. Shawn Brayton asked if the academic affairs station can be separated into graduate and undergraduate stations.

VII.	Other Business
	The APC-submission deadline for 2012-2013 UNF Catalog is 10/18. However, Shawn Brayton noted that it may be possible for submission up to the December 1^st, Faculty Association meeting. Two APC meetings will be held on October 27 and Nov 3 to review the packages that have been submitted by the catalogue-inclusion deadline of October 18. The APC chairperson email address for all APC business is: apcchair@unf.edu

VIII.	Adjournment and Next Meeting
	The meeting was adjourned at 11:45 a.m. The next APC meeting will be held on Thursday, October 6, 2011 at 10 a.m. in the Faculty Association Meeting Room, Bldg 10, Room 1120.
