Business Items:


The Committee discussed the draft deadline memo for the spring pre-requisite check review. The document should have a
preamble that clarifies the purpose of the spring review. It should also be shortened and reorganized to avoid confusion. The
Committee agreed that each course should have a separate form to facilitate approval signatures of other affected programs.
Executive Director O’Hare will rewrite the memo and send to the committee for consideration. It will be sent after the meeting
next week. The form will be revised to include current and proposed catalog language so that reviewers can quickly determine
whether the program is changing more than prerequisites.
Curiculum Review Follow-up
Professor Dalenberg reported on the follow-up for the Global Public Health minor. The rubrics and course numbers have been
updated according to common course numbering. Thirteen of the 14 departments with courses listed have responded their
approval by electronic communicaiton. Approval of the proposal will be postponed until next week to allow the final department
to respond.

Education and Fine Arts reported on the pending items. ARTH 400 and ARTZ 492 and MAR 235 were approved. A revised
syllabus was received for EDU 210 New Student Athlete Semenar that included academic resources. However, some members on
the subcommittee recommend the course have a 100 level number considering it is an orientation / skills course.

The General Education Committee Chair DeBoer summarized the consent agenda (appended below). Environmental Studies
proposed to allow students that transfer with 40 credits or more to fulfill their Foreign language requirement with the symbolic
systems exception. This would have been difficult to administer, so an alternative was offered by the committee and accepted by
EVST. The program will submit a program modification to add foreign language as a requirement and then waive it for transfer
students. This will allow the department control of the exeption. ASCRC will need to review the program modification. Several
courses were approved in the various groups.
The General Education Committee requested introductory and foundational follow-up for several upper- division courses
submitted by Modern and Classical Languages. The requestor, Professor Ausland withdrew the forms for American and European
Perspective (HSTR 301, History of Greece and HSTR 304 History of Rome) as well as HSTR 302 Greek Social History for the
Historical & Cultural Studies. The revised forms submitted for HSTR 301 History of Greece and HSTR 304 History of Rome
were approved for Historical & Cultural Studies. The revised form submitted for HSTR 302 Greek Social History for the
Indigenous & Global group was considered to be better aligned with the American and European Perspective. At the General
Education Committees’ recommendation, Professor Ausland seemed to accept this designation.
ASCRC concured with the recommendations of the General Education Committee and the consent agenda was approved.
Professor Ausland may submit revised forms in accordance with procedure 201.3.4.
