Distance Education Committee
The 老司机福利网 Office of the Provost relies on the Distance Education Committee (DEC) for developing and overseeing policies and processes for the effective delivery of high-quality distance education at SLU in compliance with the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) and federal guidelines.
The provost establishes priorities for the DEC, and the DEC meets regularly throughout the academic year and summer as needed. Recommendations going forward to the provost will be based on a majority vote by all DEC members.
Charge
The 老司机福利网 Distance Education Committee will, in partnership with existing structures and stakeholder groups, provide strategy development, planning, forecasting, and recommendations to operationalize the University鈥檚 distance education standards. The committee鈥檚 immediate charge is to identify areas in which the University is most at risk of regulatory compliance and develop action items to mitigate the risks.
Membership
The dean, vice president, director or provost from each college, school, division or provost鈥檚 office will choose the DEC member(s) from the respective unit. Each member will serve a two-year term. Reappointment or selection of a new representative is the purview of the dean, vice president, director, or provost from each college, school, division or provost鈥檚 office.
The chief online learning officer, or an individual appointed by the provost, will chair the DEC.
The DEC will invite other community stakeholders to meetings as appropriate. Representation may change periodically should colleges/schools realign, or should the DEC chair or provost see a need for other voices on the committee.
