With regard to #7, it seems that if we are going to be limiting the number of trips that can occur within any given year that claiming one of those trips every other year for the coordinator is potentially removing the opportunity of another faculty member to offer a trip. If trip number limitations are to be a thing there should also be something in the guidelines that consider how often a faculty member or location is offered so that these spots are not bogarted and keep others from offering new and unique study abroad opportunities.
I totally agree with most of your points. Thanks for the thoughtful input. I modified the document by 1. Clarifying "Study Away" as the primary term of use. 2. Leaving the timing of the excursions vague so as to encompass every contingency. 3. Clarifying the Brad Henry process. 4. Adding the word "working" to proposals to leave more leeway for future changes. I left the passage "Have relevant learning objectives or outcomes stated in the proposal," which is not intended for specific judgment by the committee so much as for the committee to confirm their existence.
We should not limit enrollment to only Independent Study.
For example the Italy Study Abroad enrollment is both Independent Study and Summer.
In the future, possibilities for Spring Break or Christmas Break could also be options.
Should enrollment be required?
Requirements for courses such as outcomes, objectives, impact study should be required by the instructor/leader, not the committee.

I think both a coordinator and committee for study away are a good idea. A few questions/suggestions:
1.) Is there a committee description/membership for the study away committee? The membership is described in the document, but a full description would be helpful.
2.) For the Brad Henry award (#11 under Study Away Coordinator Duties), there may be existing guidelines that need to be followed, so those should be referenced here. It would be nice to streamline the process as much as possible (possibly use the Study Away Committee for this award rather than creating another committee), but I am not sure what the current guidelines are.
3.) Under procedures, the form sounds like a good idea to me. However, I suspect some of this information may change from the initial proposal (which it may be more than 3 years in advance). Is there a mechanism to update the info? This probably matters mainly for advertising of upcoming trips (ensuring the information is accurate).
