Action on Minutes
Minutes from the First Meeting, September 9, 2014, were approved as revised.
UBUS 310
It was announced the GPA requirement for enrollment in UBUS 310 will remain at 2.75.
Members reported feedback from their respective departments as to whether UBUS 310
is the best delivery of the four cross-functional areas of business. A motion was
approved to table further discussion of UBUS 310/UBUS 311 until after the catalog
copy deadline.
Accountancy Curricular
Items
The committee continued its discussion from the last meeting on the proposal submitted
by Accountancy. B. Cripe was present to give input and answer questions. The proposal
includes: the deletion of ACCY 310S/510S, two new undergraduate courses (in data
analytics and a writing lab), revision to their undergraduate degree requirements which
includes adding the new courses and deleting MGMT 346, and several revisions to
prerequisites/corequisites of courses generally for sequencing purposes within the
undergraduate program. After lengthy discussion, the proposal was approved. (See pages
