Chair Lodmell called the meeting to order at 2:15 p.m.
The minutes from 10/13/09 were amended and approved.
Communication

Professor Neilson shared Halloween treats with the Committee.

There is a College of Arts and Science meeting at 3:30 today, so the meeting will
be adjourned early.

Comments from individual members of the Strategic Plan Workgroup were to be
submitted to the Academic Strategic Plan Committee for consideration. Due to
time constraints a consensus of comments from ASCRC was not an option.
Business Items:

The Science and Math Subcommittee items appended below were approved.
Subcommittee Chair Uchimoto will suggest a title change for SCN 176. The
course covers life science as well as physical science. A subcommittee member
was concerned that the course material overlapped with science department
courses on the main campus. ASCRC determined that this was not an issue due to
the survey nature of the course.

The Humanities Subcommittee items appended below were approved. The
subcommittee requested follow-up and received revised catalog language on
several courses. It should be clarified whether English intends to incorporate the
new Film Studies courses into the minor or whether they are simply electives.
Subcommittee Chair Muench will contact the instructor of HSTA 335, Movie
America: U.S. History through Film to clarify contact hours – class time spent
watching film compared to lecture. Some members wonder whether ASCRC
should establish a standard. The History Department should consider checking
with President Dennison regarding the deletion of HSTA 379, American
Constitutional History Since 1864.
The meeting was adjourned at 3:25 p.m.
