Communications

Professor Montauban from Spanish has agreed to help the Humanities
Subcommittee with program review. Professor Borgmann is involved in
departmental discussions regarding the external review of Philosophy.
Therefore, he prefers not to be involved with Graduate Council’s review of
the program. Chair Hirstein agreed to assist with the review if necessary.

A social science faculty member (Professor Naughton from Economics) has
agreed to serve on Graduate Council starting spring semester. Professor
Sprang will recruit a faculty member from DBS to take his place given his
change in status.
Business Items

The Science curriculum consent agenda (below) was approved. The Material
Science proposal was revised to include language requiring faculty from both
campuses on the students committee. The listing of experimental courses was
discussed. As a general rule experimental courses should not be listed in
proposals for new programs. The Council will recommend that these be
removed from the proposal before it is submitted to the Board of Regents.
CHMY 481 UG, Science in Science Fiction Films is still pending. The course
content is not appropriate for Chemistry. The subcommittee recommends the
course have the general science rubric (SCI). Follow-up is pending.
Discussion of the Systems Ecology proposal will take place next week.

Appropriate follow-up was received by the Humanities subcommittee for
THTR 506 and it was approved.

The Professional Schools Subcommittee received several late proposals from
Communicative Science Disorders. The graduate courses submitted for
revision are not currently in the catalog because the courses were approved
last spring.
FOR 522 was withdrawn.

The meeting with Academic Affairs to discuss the commitment to
Interdisciplinary Programs is scheduled for Mon, November 22nd. Chair
Hirstein will report the outcome of the meeting in December.
The Graduate School is compiling the data on the MIS. The Council agreed
that a decade’s worth of data is sufficient.

The Co-convening Workgroup has met twice and is meeting again next week.
It is working on a philosophy statement and guidelines.
The meeting was adjourned at 1:00 p.m.
