1) Approved without dissent the minutes of the 11 November 2004 meeting.
2) Professors Paul Bin and Gary Zinn from the Department of Economics presented the revisions to their BS degree tabled at the October 14th meeting. Revisions described their memo and the marked and final catalog copy. After brief discussion, Estes moved for approval, with a second by Graziani. Motion approved without dissent.
3) College of Business Associate Dean Buddy Zincone and Professor Marc McCarthy of the Department of Accounting spoke in favor of a revision to ACCT 4921 as described in their memo and catalog copy. After limited discussion, Estes moved for approval, with a second by Graziani. Motion approved without dissent.
4) College of Business Associate Dean Buddy Zincone and Management Department Chair Joe Tomkiewicz spoke in favor of changes to several MGMT courses and their in the degree requirements. Revisions outlined in their memo, marked catalog copy, and final catalog copy. After some discussion, the committee agreed that the catalog copy required some additions. Schinasi moved to table, with a second by Estes. Motion tabled.
5) Professors Mary Farwell and Chuck Singhas from the Department of Biology spoke in favor a renumbering of BIOL 3100,3101 to BIOL 2100,2101, as described in their memo and the marked and final catalog copy. During discussion, the committee suggested a few changes to the catalog description. Estes moved for approval, with a second by Graziani. Motion approved without dissent.
6) Professor Andy Sargent from the Department of Chemistry spoke in favor of revisions necessitated by changes proposed to CHEM 5550 submittedthe Graduate Curriculum Committee. Revisions outlined in their memo, the course proposals
· CHEM 3450: Elementary Inorganic Chemistry
· CHEM 3451: Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory
and the marked and final catalog copy. Since the changes to CHEM 5550 have not yet passed the Graduate Curriculum Committee, Estes moved for approval of the package contingent upon approval of the revisions to CHEM 5550 by the GCC; Schinasi seconded. Motion approved without dissent. Note added 11/19/2004: The GCC tabled the revisions to CHEM 5550 until their 12/1/2004 meeting. Thus, these revisions do not appear in the catalog copy below.
7) Ms. Ann Greer and Professor Maria Clay from the Office of Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Education spoke in favor of new IRHE courses, as described in their memo. Courses include:
· IRHE 2000: Introduction to Rural Health Care Teams
· IRHE 2100: Rural Health Immersion
· IRHE 2500: Service Learning in Interdisciplinary Teams
Their package also includes marked and final catalog copy. After discussion, Estes moved for approval, with a second by Graziani. Motion approved without dissent.
8) Meeting adjourned at 3:40 pm.
