I. Call to Order
II. Minutes of the Meeting of June 7, 2012
III. Old Business: College of Technology
The following courses were tabled at the meeting of June 7, 2012; please see notes following each entry for
comments.
HRM120 Cooking Essentials for Non-Majors
TABLED UNANIMOUSLY: The proposed course does not provide options for students with moral, religious, or
other prohibitions for handling some food items (options need to be available to accommodate student
diversity) and the proposal should be accompanied by a bibliography.
HRM435 Entrepreneurship in the Hospitality Industry
TABLED UNANIMOUSLY: The proposal needs clarification. The attached syllabus appears to have little to do
with the proposed course. If different topics will be taught for this course, then “Topics in…” should be
included in the title and catalog description. Additionally, the proposal is missing a bibliography.
COT709 Introduction to Statistical Reasoning in Technology
TABLED UNANIMOUSLY: The proposal does not indicate why this course is specific to technology. The course
appears similar to other graduate level statistics courses and COT should consult with COB, COE, and CAS
departments having existing graduate level statistics courses.
