Requests for New Courses
HLAD402 Health Policy
HLAD419 Legal and Regulatory Issues in Health Care
Excerpt from the Minutes of 22 September 22 2011: Motion to table as a package both new course proposals because
there are no accompanying syllabi and because the HLAD402 proposal has the wrong course description (the same
description as HLAD419). An additional concern is the lack of prerequisites for HLAD402. Tabled Unanimously
Motion to Pass as a Package the HLAD402 and HLAD419 proposals with the comment that the course
description on the form for HLAD402 still needs to be corrected, using the course description for that course’s
syllabus, because the information on the form will be used for the catalog. Passed with Comment: Unanimous.
