Proposal Summary
Large-Scale Course Revision
Subject Specification: This proposal will inactivate specific courses from the Special Education [SPED]
program.
Background Information: Several courses are active but are no longer being offered by SPED—they have
not been taught for years or they are now taught by other programs. These do not fit the needs of the current
program; therefore, it is appropriate to inactivate the courses that will not be taught again.
There will be no impact to any other program.
Alternatives and Consequences: If not approved, courses will remain active, but will not be offered.
Specific Recommendation and Justification: Inactivate the following courses:
• S P ED 19201 AMERICAN S IGN LANGUAGE I
• S P ED 19202 AMERICAN S IGN LANGUAGE II
• S P ED 29201 AMERICAN S IGN LANGUAGE III

Susan,
The program area did discuss the various inactivations with concentrations making recommendation
based on their needs (e.g., Deaf and Interpreter made recommendations based on the Deaf and
Interpreter program needs).
Thanks a lot for leading me through the abyss.
