The College of Business and Economics’ proposal for a change in the General Business Entrepreneurship Emphasis (BBA) was approved on a Marilyn Lavin/Anne Hamilton motion.
The College of Education’s proposal for a change in licensure requirements for PI 4 General Education was approved on a Larry Kenney/Scott Bradley motion.
Lance Urven moved to approve the
Biological Sciences Department’s proposal for a change in the Biology Minor
and Sally Vogl-Bauer seconded the motion.
The motion carried. Lance
then moved approval of the Biology - General
(BA/BS), Biology - General (BSE), Cell/Physiology (BA/BS), Cell/Physiology (BSE), and General Science Broadfield Biology Emphasis
proposals as a package followed by a motion to approve the Biology Education Emphasis (withdrawing the
name change). Phil Johns seconded both
motions, which carried.
Marilyn Lavin moved, and Tom
Colwin seconded, to receive and record the proposal to change the department
name from: “Business Education/Office Systems” to: Business Education/Computer & Network
Administration. Marilyn spoke
to the proposal, and noted that consultation did take place with Dr. Phanord of
the Mathematical and Computer Sciences Department, but that Dr. Phanord would
not sign the consultation page. (Dr.
Phanord indicates that he did not feel
that consultation took place;
however, Dr. Marcia James believes that it did.) Larry Schuetz pointed out that
it is an “information only” item, and that consultation is not necessary - only
a courtesy. Marcia James spoke to
the issue as well, and the motion to receive and record the name change
carried. The new course 220-457 Implementing
Internet Applications as well as the changes in the Computer End-User Technologies – Professional Business
Minor and the Computer End-User Technologies

Phil Johns moved to approve the following proposals from the
Languages and Literatures Department as a package: Change in minors - French

Tom Colwin seconded the motion, and the motion carried.
Heather Reicherdt from WSG addressed the committee regarding the
possibility of replacing the current WSG student survey with a new survey given
to the faculty in hopes of matching student needs with faculty teaching
methods, with the hope of reducing add/drops. One member pointed out that the majority of the information
was already included within the syllabi on-line, and that the syllabi include
vital things such as goals.
Another member suggested that the wording of the questions be more
general (as to not insult faculty), and that the name “Purple Book” be
reconsidered. It was also
suggested that WSG consider changing the method of implementation to
standardizing the syllabi criteria and incorporating their questions into that
criteria. A final comment was that
additional paperwork would probably not be received favorably, and since
faculty are already required to do syllabi each semester, that might be more
appealing method. Heather then
thanked the committee for their time and said that she would take the
suggestions back to WSG.
The meeting was adjourned at 2:50 p.m. on a Tom Colwin/Larry Kenney motion.
