HUMANITIES PROPOSALS:
After introducing S. Donnell, English faculty member, B. Villalobos asked the CCC to
begin the review with the English 23 proposal. The dean provided some minor edits to the
proposal form then L. Beckett-Lemus questioned the meaning of the phrase, “literature in
translation,” in the catalog description. S. Donnell explained that this phrase was English
jargon and that it would be meaningful to students, especially those majoring in English.

critical thinking assignments in Section V and B. Villalobos agreed to the change. Next, a
brief discussion was held on the proposal for English 12 and after corrections to Sections V
and VI of the outline were noted, the committee turned to French 24. During the brief,
ensuing discussion, B. Villalobos provided revisions for the proposal form, the catalog
description, and Sections II, IV, and V of the outline. B. Perez then moved, and K. Key
seconded, that the Humanities proposals be approved as amended. B. Perez also moved
that the conditions of enrollment be approved. C. Somin seconded this motion, which
carried.
BUSINESS PROPOSALS:
V. Rapp distributed an errata sheet then thanked L. Beckett-Lemus and B. Perez for

Review of the division’s proposals began with Administration of Justice 70. The
committee and the dean agreed to changes for the catalog description and Sections II, III,
IV, and V of the course outline then discussed the Machine Tool Technology 2 proposal.
During this discussion, agreement was reached on revisions for the catalog description and
for Sections II, III, and IV of the outline. Next, a brief review of Machine Tool
Technology 10G was conducted during which minor corrections to the lab hours as well as
Sections II and IV of the outline were accepted. Continuing, Dean Way directed the CCC
to the three Welding proposals and informed the committee that the discipline of Auto
Body Technology was to be included on all three proposals. Minor modifications to
Sections IV and V of the course outline for Welding 1 were then noted. The CCC turned
to the proposal for Welding 15ab. R. Way told the committee that the Welding
Department was providing an additional revision to the proposal, a descriptive title change,
because further department review found the existing title unclear. The committee then
agreed to minor changes in the catalog description and Section IV of the outline. The
Industry and Technology review concluded with the proposal for Welding 21. During the
brief discussion, a slight revision to Section IV of the outline was noted then
W. Killingsworth moved that the Industry and Technology proposals be approved as
revised. C. Somin seconded the motion, which carried. K. Key moved, and
W. Killingsworth seconded, that the conditions of enrollment be approved. The motion
carried.
HEALTH SCIENCES AND ATHLETICS PROPOSAL:
D. Shannon introduced S. Bartiromo, of the Sign Language/Interpreter Training
Department, and referred CCC members to the division’s errata sheet included in the day’s
packet. Then S. Bartiromo began the review of Educational Development 14 by
explaining corrections to the proposal form and a revision to the catalog description.
B. Perez questioned the validity of the existing recommended preparation, “verified
eligibility for services through the Special Resource Center,” inasmuch as this was not
knowledge or a skill that would enhance student success. S. Bartiromo explained the
purpose of the statement, and, after considerable discussion, it was decided that the
information the department needed to convey to students would be included as a catalog
note. A. Collette told S. Bartiromo that the information would appear in the schedule of
classes if division support staff completed the Master Course File form correctly. The
committee and S. Bartiromo then agreed to a slight revision in Section III of the course
outline. C. Somin moved, and J. Siddiqui seconded, that Educational Development 14 be
approved as revised. The motion carried.
