General Education Committee FY25
Charge
As per PS 03.A.41, the General Education Program (GEP) requires faculty oversight, review, and ongoing assessment. This oversight is done by the General Education Committee (GEC). UHD is responsible for ensuring the credibility, compliance, and integrity of the GEP. While individual faculty, academic programs, and academic departments have the task of offering the courses within the GEP, the entire academic community of UHD has ownership of the GEP.
The GEC has oversight in the following areas:
- Education of the university community about the GEP
- Assessment of the GEP, including recommendations based on assessment results and processes
- Curriculum and policy related to the GEP
- Recommendations to the UCC regarding any changes to the GEP and the courses therein
- Maintaining the GEP website is up to date and contains all necessary forms and calendars for the program
