I. Knickerbocker called the meeting to order at 2:00 and offered apologies from Skalko and Smith. He announced the Senates decision to reject the UCC’s recommendation to approve prefix changes for courses being moved from the College of Arts and Sciences to the School of Education. He stated that the Senate, following Part V Section III of the Faculty Manual, demanded that those courses must go through the entire curriculum process, beginning in the academic units concerned, although they gave provisional approval for the benefit of students enrolled until the process is completed.

II. Richard McCarty from Philosophy presented that unit’s proposals to: Bank PHIL 2280 Introduction to the Philosophy of Sport, PHIL 3311 Plato, PHIL 3312 Aristotle; to change the number of hours required for a degree in Philosophy; and revisions to 1311.

Directed Readings, 3550. Junior Honors, 4282. Mathematical Logic, 4283. Philosophy of Language, 4550. Senior Honors Discussion ensued about the decision to reduce degree requirements. McCarty responded that the desire was to increase the number of majors. Batie moved approval, Keane seconded. Approval was unanimous.

III. Mitchelson presented new course GEOG 3460: GIS Applications Programming. A question was raised about the relationship between this course and the two existing courses; Mitchelson stated they were meant to be a sequence, and stressed the importance of these new technologies. Bassman moved approval, Batie seconded. Approval was unanimous.

IV. Rebecca Carter and Richard Castin from Sociology presented revisions to major and minor in Sociology, the new course: 3100 Sociology of Aging, and a new concentration in B.S. Applied Sociology: “Social Diversity”. During discussion, the presenters pointed out that the changes proposed originated in their outcome assessment results. Mitchelson moved approval, Bassman seconded. Approval was unanimous.

V. Phil Lunsford presented the following ELET/ELEC curriculum changes: A) Change the prefix and renumber ELET 4050 Integrated Network Services, ELET 4060 Regulations and Policies to: ELEC 4054 Integrated Network Services, ELEC 4064 Regulations and Policies B) Prefix change ELET to ELEC: 2700, 2702, 2710, 2720, 2730, 2750, 3000, 3010, 3020, 3510, 3520, 3530, 4000, 4040, 4080 C) Bank ELEC 2700, 2702, 2710, 2750, 3010, 3020, 3520, 4080 D) Changes to BS in Electronics: 1) New courses: ELEC 2500, 2501 PC Hardware, ELEC 3540, 3541 Network Management III, ELEC 4501, ELEC 4503 Lab; 2) Course revisions: a.

The UCC found no substantive problems with the package, but noted several inconsistencies in the prerequisites and catalogue copy. Gares moved approval, Batie seconded. The motion carried unanimously

VI. Keane presented the following revisions in Communications: I. Revision of description of BA and BS majors and Communication minors; II. Change in Minor Titles, Descriptions III.
