Wayne Hanley


Department: History

With a background in the secondary education program, having served as a departmental assistant chair, having previous CAPC experience, and with an interest in maintaining the academic integrity of WCU programs, I believe I am well suited to serve another term on CAPC. I am especially interested in making sure WCU programs meet the needs of our students while maintaining high standards.

Thomas Legg


Department: History

It seems that the modern university has lost sight that teaching students is the primary purpose of the university. And it is the curriculum that links facutly and students together in this endeavor. As the ongoing chair of the history department, as well as being an active member of the Committee of Professional Education, I have become well versed in curricular issues and policies and will work to help keep the curricular needs of the faculty and students at WCU paramount.

Department: Biology

CAPC is one of the most important committees on campus. I believe that it is imperative that the Faculty keep control of the currirulum. It is my view, that over the past few years the Administration (both local and PASSHE) have attempted to take this control from us. I have, and will contiune, to fight to keep curricular control where it belongs; with teaching faculty of the University.
