This group meets monthly during the academic year (more often if needed) to discuss all aspects of the instructional program, including but not limited to curriculum quality and content, methods of course delivery, and enhancement of faculty instructional techniques. The Council makes recommendations to the Provost on policies, procedures, and regulations affecting the instructional program at OSU.
