The Council on Academic Affairs canceled its Thursday meeting.

The items to be added were a revision for MUS 4980 A, B, D: Workshop in Music One, Two, Three and a new course, HIS 3950, History of U.S. Popular Culture.

Because of CAA bylaw seven, the CAA’s Chairperson, Marita Gronnvoll, still added these classes to the agenda for action at a future meeting.

MUS 4980 courses A, B, and D are being revised to add an online component.

They will become “hybrid” courses, with some online elements and some face-to-face elements.

James Ochwa-Echel, the chair of the Africana Studies Program, was also supposed to give a program review for the Bachelor of Arts in Africana studies.

Program reviews occur when departments present to the CAA about their academic area and how they are doing based on the standards set by the Illinois Board of Higher Education.

Different departments are given a list of questions from the CAA before the program review, which they can use to guide their presentation.

Although this meeting was canceled, the next meeting of the CAA is scheduled for next Thursday at 2 p.m. in room 4440 of Booth Library.
