Deletion” form must be included for each affected course.

B. Provide a summary and rationale behind the proposed change including any staffing adjustments that
may accompany the proposed change. Provide information about 2- to 4-year course rotations (use
separate sheet if necessary) and who will be teaching the courses affected. The description of the
staffing impact should be proportionate to the proposed changes. Simply stating that the proposed
change will have no impact on staffing is not sufficient.
