ABSTRACT:
The Academic Policy and Program Committee collection consists of minutes and related materials, subcommittee minutes, curriculum reviews, and other work group materials and articles that concern the academic program at Gustavus Adolphus College.  The AP&P committee had many functions, including annual reviews of graduation requirements and curriculum, planning of the academic calendar, review and recommendation of faculty departmental programs, and campus-wide academic programs.  The committee was disbanded during spring 1997, and its duties were divided into both existing and new committees.


SCOPE AND CONTENT:
This collection is divided into four series: Minutes and Related Materials, Subcommittees, Curriculum Reviews, and Miscellaneous.


Minutes and Related Materials holds the AP&P Committee meeting minutes and materials such as memos, correspondence, and readings related to meeting discussion topics.  Although fairly inclusive, there are some gaps.  The series is arranged chronologically.


Subcommittees contains minutes and related materials for various subcommittees of the AP&P Committee.  These subcommittees are:

  • Academic Achievement
  • January Term
  • Academic Operations
  • Petitions
  • Academic Operations and Achievement
  • Planning and Renewal
  • Academic Probation
  • Special Programs
  • Curriculum
  • Teacher Education
  • Instructional Resources
  • Women’s Studies
  • International Education
  

This series is arranged alphabetically.


Curriculum Reviews consists of reviews, overhauls, and workshops that pertain to the academic curriculum at Gustavus.  This series is arranged chronologically.


Miscellaneous includes materials from the General Education Working Group/Task Force and from studies about faculty course workloads.  In addition, there are two articles about the future of Gustavus from 1959.  This series is arranged alphabetically.
