Action on Minutes
The minutes of the Sixth Meeting, dated November 1, 2005, were approved as
presented.
Ethics Initiatives
Committee members continued discussion of the Ethics Handbook/online
learning module. It was recommended the ETF explore the feasibility of
copyrighting these items. Guidelines for corporate sponsorship to produce the
materials are being developed by the EFT.
Portfolio Courses
At the last CUC meeting, the course number 099 for the proposed new
Marketing and OMIS portfolio courses was questioned. The CUC feels this 0
number implies a remedial course and is not appropriate for a course required
by seniors ready to graduate. After discussion, the committee approved the
courses be renumbered 99.
Service to B.S. in Bus
Admin Majors
The planned focus group meeting has not taken place. A report will be given
to the committee subsequent to that meeting.
Computer Skills
The committee approved the organization of a subcommittee to report back to
the College Curriculum Committee with recommendations for action to be
taken to assure students have enough technology background to successfully
complete UBUS 310.
Homeland Security
The proposed interdisciplinary undergraduate certificate in Homeland Security
was discussed. The committee supports such a certificate and suggested that
accounting and finance topics could be incorporated into some of the existing
courses comprising the certificate.
Minor in International
Business
The committee continued its discussion of a possible Minor in International
Business. Relevant courses were suggested. Discussion will continue at the
next meeting.

Residential Experience program was discussed.
