◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊
1) Approved without dissent the amended minutes of the 09 October 2003 meeting.
2) Professors Sandra Tawake and Lida Dutkova-Cope from the Department of English attended the meeting and spoke in favor of their proposals:
Ø ENGL 3720: Writing Systems of the World
Ø ENGL 4730: Language and Society
Ø changing the catalog description of ENGL 4950 to allow it to count towards the BA in English and to drop the cross-listing with LIBS 4950
Some faculty members in Communications had concerns regarding overlap between their courses and ENGL 4730, as expressed by Professor Kean. However, Professor Dutkova-Cope’s comments clarified matters. Toppen moved to approve the package from English, with a second by Arnold. Motion passed without dissent.
3) Professor Katie Walsh from the Department of Health Education & Promotion spoke in favor of their proposal:
Ø HLTH 3400
Ø several changes to the Athletic Training curriculum:
· add EXSS 2850 as a prerequisite to EXSS 3850
· to make room for the above prerequisite, they have dropped the biology lab, BIOL 2131
· addition of ASIP 2000 as a required computer literacy course.
After brief discussion, J. Smith moved for approval, with a second by J. Toppen. Motion approved without dissent.
4) Professor John Stevens presented proposals from the Great Books Interdisciplinary Committee:
Ø GRBK 3001: Great Books of Science
Ø modification of the Great Books minor to include 3001
5) Professors Karen Vail-Smith and Alice Anderson from the College of Health and Human Performance attended the meeting and spoke in favor of their several proposals:
a) Revisions to the BS in Environmental Health: Public Health Concentration to accommodate the MD/7 initiative. Specifically, they request that students who have been accepted for admission to the Brody School of Medicine under the MD/7 Program be allowed to substitute the successful completion of the first-year medical school curriculum for up to 22 s.h. credit including cognates, Internship EHST 4900, and environmental health electives; in addition, for such students they waive the GEOG 3220 requirement.
In addition, the college also proposes revisions to the B.S. in Health Education and Promotion: Pre-health Professions Concentration to accommodate the MD/7 initiative. Specifically, they request that students who have been accepted for admission to the Brody School of Medicine under the MD/7 Program be allowed to substitute the successful completion of the first-year medical school curriculum for their 12 s.h. internship (HTLH 4991) and 16 s.h. of electives.
Discussion ensued regarding both proposals, including concern about potential difficulties with getting the medical school courses on record here. The committee felt that the UCC and Registrar’s office could work this out somehow. However, the committee expressed desire to officially approve the MD/7 initiatives as a group (further departments are participating, and we anticipate their being presented to this committee at our next meeting). Thus, following the suggestion of Professor Reaves, the committee approved by acclamation this statement:
The committee views the proposed changes from the College of Health and Human Performance regarding the MD/7 initiative as acceptable. The committee will officially vote on approval of the catalog copy when the other MD/7 programs arrive before the committee.
b) The Department of Health Education and Promotion requests that they be allowed to drop HLTH 3000: Theory and Practice in Community Health Education as a prerequisite for HLTH 3300/3301: Introduction to Patient Education.
c) New course proposal: HLTH 1900: Introduction to Health Professions.
After limited discussion, Kean moved to approve items b) & c) above, with a second by Toppen. The committee approved the motion without dissent.
6) The committee discussed the issue of what should constitute the official ECU catalog (online, printed, real-time, etc.). Professor Reaves mentioned some information to the committee about how other UNC system institutions have handled this matter. Several expressed favorable views on possibilities of moving to the online catalog as the official ECU catalog, provided hard copies were still printed for departmental and faculty office use. Having the official catalog updated twice a year (June and January) would allow units to have their curricular changes officially reflected sooner. Ms. O’Donnell stated that students tended to ignore the catalog for their first two years of college, but many did use it as they neared graduation. Concern was also expressed regarding the ability of the UCC to conduct business with hard-copy catalogs. Although opinions varied as to whether we should adopt the online catalog as the official one, the consensus was uniform that if such a move is made, the online version must be more user-friendly (easier to search, scan page-by-page, etc.).
Professor Reaves agreed to collect additional information for the committee’s next meeting, after which the committee will formulate a report for the Faculty Senate.
7) Meeting adjourned at 3:10 pm.

REVISIONS in BS Athletic Training (cat. 229-231)
changes are in bold
BS IN ATHLETIC TRAINING
The athletic training degree program is a Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) accredited undergraduate program based on a minimum of 126 s.h.: 42 hours of general education courses, 66 s.h. in the major area, and elective hours which can result in an approved minor or prepare one for further graduate study in an allied health profession such as physical therapy or a physician assistant program. Upon successful completion of this degree, the student will be eligible to sit for the National Athletic Trainers’ Association Board of Certification exam. There is a strong clinical aspect of the program involving a minimum of 1000 supervised hours under a certified athletic trainer. At least one third of these hours are in addition to regular course work. Admission to the university does not guarantee admission to the athletic training degree, as it is restricted by an imposed student-to-clinical instructor ratio. Candidates are required to submit a separate application process, and it is due July 1 prior to the fall semester you wish to begin your degree. See program web site for details. Competitive admission is based upon assessments of the applicant’s academic abilities, knowledge, dedication to the profession, and commitment to the health care of others. Eligible applicants must have a minimum cumulative and semester 2.0 GPA, completed HLTH 1800, 2810, 2811 with a minimum grade of C, current cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid certification from an approved provider, successfully completed a two-semester (fall and spring, consecutively) candidacy period, passed a health screening/physical examination, a letter of formal application on file, and an interview with the athletic training faculty and staff. There are written technical standards for admission that can be found in the Athletic Training Student Handbook and the program’s web site. Athletic training students are required to earn a minimum course grade of C in all athletic training courses. A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 must be sustained throughout the program. All students in the degree are required to maintain current CPR certification, Hepatitis B immunization (or waiver), and liability insurance for the duration of their involvement in the curriculum. Verification of CPR certification and liability insurance are required each academic year. In addition, all athletic training students must attend two-thirds of the in-service training sessions given outside of the classroom each semester. Specific requirements are stated in the Athletic Training Student Handbook. [Remove next sentence There are . . . web site.] The athletic training degree requires a minimum of 1000 practical, supervised clinical hours under the direction of a certified athletic trainer. The candidacy period does not count toward the total hours required. The 1000 hours are to be achieved outside of the classroom requirements with the exception of HLTH 3200, [remove 3271] 3400, 3860 and 4860. Transfer students must meet the above criteria. No transfer athletic training classes will be accepted, but other course work may be allowed on an individual basis. Minimum degree requirement is 126 s.h. of credit as follows:

The instructor acts to introduce and guide discussion, but more as a moderator than as a lecturer. Knowledge does not pass only from teacher to student through lecture; it is discovered together through dialogue. Requirements a minimum of 9 s.h. of courses above the 2999 level. A maximum of 6 s.h. may be used to satisfy general education requirements and requirements for the great books minor. A course may not count toward the student's major and the great books minor.
