• Old Business: Monitoring Online Testing Software and Survey – At the 9/28 Academic Affairs Committee (UAAC) meeting, we continued to brainstorm and workshop questions for a faculty survey on instructional practices and concerns related to academic integrity. Due to campus power outages, we did not have meeting minutes and were missing the majority of our voting members. We expect to have a final draft ready for a vote before our 10/26 UAAC meeting and then share the draft with UFC in advance of its 11/18 meeting.
• Meeting adjourned: 4:40pm.
