[Senate] [Report & Information] Report from the Ad Hoc Coordinating Committee on General Education (CCGE)

[Cherysa Cortez]

Dear Colleagues,

I’ve attached for your information the final report of the Senate-convened
Ad Hoc Coordinating Committee on General Education (CCGE).  This report has
been reviewed and accepted by the Academic Senate Executive Council. The
CCGE began their work in Spring 2024 at the request and charge of then
Senate Chair Sang-Hee Lee. Prior to this in 2006 to 2009 and 2019 to 2021,
UCR engaged in work around clarifying undergraduate general education via
the Ad Hoc General Education Reform Committee and the Ad Hoc General
Education Review Committee. On behalf of Senate leadership, I extend
sincere gratitude to our colleagues for their engagement and commitment to
this effort.

Keeping up momentum and looking ahead to Fall 2025, the Senate will begin
the work of moving forward with the recommendations in the report.

With the initiative of the Committee on Educational Policy, a first order
of business will be the enactment of the recommended learning outcomes for
general education in UCR’s Catalog (Appendix C) by the Division.  I
anticipate that this catalog change will be included on the Fall Division
meeting agenda.


Regards,

Ken Barish, Chair

Academic Senate
