and October 22nd were approved.
Fred Hinson announced that all the Undergraduate Deans had been
informed about every member’s contribution to implementation and
development of the Liberal Studies Program. Each member should be
considered for merit in salary adjustments this semester.
Discussion of the Freshman Seminars continued but the Committee
decided not to deal with the repeat and replacement grade policy for
these courses at this time.
The Committee voted unanimously to delete ASI-108 and PSY-101
from the old general education course inventory.
The following course proposals were reviewed:
Ø REL-305 – Medieval and Reformation Theology: Divine
Foreknowledge, Free Will, and Justification by Faith (P3 – ULP) –
This course was tabled. Charles Wallis will meet with the course
proposer to discuss one concern of the Committee.
Ø HIST-107 – World Cultures in Historical Perspective– This course
was approved for the P3 History Perspective Category.
Ø ASI-250 – Introduction to Appalachian Studies –– This course
was approved for the P1 Social Sciences Perspective Category.
Ø REL-309 – Religion in Film – (P6 - ULP) – This course proposal
was returned to the course proposer for consultation with the
English Department.
