CHAIR’S REPORT
J. Young welcomed H. Cooper, Acting Dean of Enrollment Services, to the committee.
The Chair informed those present that H. Cooper is an ex-officio member of the CCC since
she is now serving as the College’s Matriculation Officer. Chair Young then asked the
other CCC members to introduce themselves and identify the areas they represent.
Next, J. Young reminded the CCC that, at its last meeting, a demonstration of the newly
created CCC website was given and that one of the features of the website was a section on
frequently asked questions (FAQs). J. Young referred members to the FAQs draft,
included in the day’s packet, and explained that the subcommittee, comprised of her,
A. Collette, W. Killingsworth, J. Siddiqui, and C. Striepe, recently developed this draft.
The Chair asked that CCC representatives review these FAQs and forward, via an e-mail
message, any suggestions or additional questions to C. Striepe.
VICE PRESIDENT - ACADEMIC AFFAIRS' REPORT

August 1, 2004. She continued, saying that the Vice President will continue to work with
Chair Young this semester and, when possible, meet with the entire committee. V. Rapp
concluded her remarks by informing the CCC that Vice President Hata was very proud of
the committee’s accomplishments.
CURRICULUM REVIEW
PROPOSALS REVIEWED BY CCC CHAIR AND VICE PRESIDENT – ACADEMIC
AFFAIRS:
J. Young directed the committee to the justifications, provided by her and N. Hata, for the
inactivation of 82 “L” courses, the deletion of six “L” courses, and the inactivation of
Astronomy 11. She reminded the committee that those “L” courses being inactivated were
inconsistent with Title 5 regulations, specifically Sections 55002, 55002.5, and 55201.
Those being deleted were also inconsistent with these Title 5 sections, which precluded the
College from pursuing stand-alone course approval from the Chancellor’s Office. She then
thanked A. Collette for organizing and implementing an expedient process for the
inactivations and deletions. C. Fitzsimons expressed the opinion that the “L” courses
should not be inactivated independently of the necessary revisions for the parent courses.
During the ensuing discussion, A. Collette explained that the inactivations and the
adjustments to the parent courses would be presented together as an agenda item for the
April 19th meeting of the Board of Trustees. Chair Young stated that the CCC habitually
approves the inactivations of courses that may serve as prerequisites, or corequisites, or
major and/or certificate requirements before revisions are made to any courses, majors, or
certificates affected by the inactivations. She then reminded the committee that the plan to
approve the inactivation of the “L” courses at today’s meeting and then approve the
adjustments to the parent courses at the March 23rd meeting had been discussed and agreed
upon at the last CCC meeting. V. Rapp added that the plan was developed to minimize the
workload of the committee and that it was important to move forward with the
inactivations inasmuch as the courses did not meet Title 5 requirements. B. Perez then
moved that the CCC approve the inactivation of 82 “L” courses, the deletion of six “L”
courses, and the inactivation of Astronomy 11. V. Rapp seconded the motion. The motion
carried with 8 in favor, one against, and one abstention.
BEHAVIORAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCES PROPOSALS:
J. Young informed Dean Miranda she would have 15 minutes to present the division’s
proposals.
G. Miranda introduced T. Glenn, representing the Economics faculty, and E. Shadish,
representing the Philosophy Department, before asking the CCC to begin its review with
Economics 5. The dean advised the committee of minor corrections to Sections II and V
of the outline then T. Glenn agreed to L. Beckett-Lemus’s suggested revisions for the
course objectives and for Section III of the outline. Next, the CCC was informed of a
minor edit to Section II of the course outline of record for Philosophy 2 and E. Shadish
agreed with additional wording for the assignment in Section IV. G. Miranda concluded
the division’s presentation with the proposal for Political Science 10. After revisions to
Sections II and IV of the course outline were agreed upon, L. Beckett-Lemus moved, and
CCC MINUTES 03/9/04

W. Killingsworth seconded, that Economics 5, Philosophy 2, and Political Science 10 be
approved as revised. The motion carried. B. Perez moved that the conditions of
enrollment for the courses be approved. C. Somin seconded the motion, which carried.
FINE ARTS PROPOSALS:
Before the division’s presentation began, Chair Young stated that a 30 minute timeframe
was being established for discussion of the Fine Arts proposals. T. Lew then introduced
R. Scarlata of the Theatre Department and advised the committee that C. Fitzsimons was
the Art Department’s representative. The dean then began the review with the Art 29ab
proposal. He informed the committee of revisions to the catalog description and Sections
III and V of the course outline. As there were no questions, the dean proceeded with Art
31abcd. Revisions to the catalog description and to Sections II, III, and IV of the outline
were agreed upon before the CCC turned to the proposal for Art 81ab. T. Lew outlined the
revisions to the catalog description and to Sections III, IV, and V of the outline then asked
the committee to turn to Theatre 70abcd. The dean explained that the proposal form for
this course and for Theatre 72ab should have indicated that the attendant corequisite “L”
courses were being removed. Continuing, T. Lew provided a correction to the discipline
and a catalog description change for Theatre 70abcd. Revisions were also noted for
Sections III, IV, and VIII of the course outline. During the discussion of Theatre 70abcd,
R. Scarlata agreed to the committee’s suggested revision for one of the critical thinking
assignments in Section V of the course outline. Revisions to Theatre 72ab, which included
the discipline, the catalog description, and Sections III, IV, and VIII of the outline, were
also accepted. The division’s review concluded with Theatre 75abcd. After T. Lew
provided revisions for the discipline and Sections II, III, and V of the outline, C. Somin
moved that the Fine Arts proposals be approved. P. Gebert seconded the motion, which
carried. C. Somin then moved, and C. Striepe seconded, that the conditions of enrollment
be approved. The motion carried.
HEALTH SCIENCES AND ATHLETICS PROPOSALS:
J. Young advised the division it would have 30 minutes for its presentation then
D. Shannon introduced M. Lipe, Adapted Physical Education Department faculty member,
and L. Olsen, support staff.
M. Lipe began the review with Physical Education 401abcd and explained the revisions to
the proposal form as well as to the catalog description and Section VII of the outline. The
committee then turned to the proposal for Physical Education 404abcd. M. Lipe provided
revisions for the proposal form, the catalog description, and Sections IV, V, and VII of the
course outline. As there were no questions, D. Shannon directed the CCC to the Physical
Education 130ab proposal. After a minor correction to Section III of the outline was noted,
discussion was held on Physical Education 131abc. Only a minor change, in Section II of
the outline, was necessary for this course proposal. After revisions to the catalog
description and Sections II, IV, and V of the course outline were agreed upon for Physical
Education 126abc, S. Dowden moved, and C. Somin seconded, that the Health Sciences
and Athletics proposals be approved as revised. The motion carried. C. Somin then
moved that the conditions of enrollment for the courses be approved. P. Gebert seconded
the motion, which carried.

NATURAL SCIENCES PROPOSALS:
After J. Young notified B. Perez she would have 30 minutes to present the division’s
proposals, the committee briefly discussed Anatomy 30. B. Perez provided minor
revisions to the catalog description and to Sections II, V, and VI of the outline. The
committee then turned to the proposal for Anatomy 32. S. Dowden and L. Beckett-Lemus
both voiced objection to the term, fast-paced, in the catalog description. It was stated that
students should expect all college courses to be conducted at a quick pace and that the use
of this term was a disservice to other courses. Dean Perez explained that faculty wanted
students, especially those with no science background, to understand that this was a
demanding course. J. Young said that it was inappropriate to use the catalog description to
cull students and if students needed some background knowledge before entering the
course then perhaps consideration should be given to establishing a prerequisite. B. Perez
said that content review would support a prerequisite but that a prerequisite had a negative
effect on some programs. At this time, A. Collette stated that, as the Curriculum Advisor,
she must recommend the proposal be tabled because the dean’s statement conflicted with
the content review documentation submitted by the Anatomy Department. This
documentation indicated students did not need any specific knowledge prior to enrollment
in order to succeed in the course. Chair Young then tabled the proposal so that the
Anatomy Department could re-evaluate the conclusions of the content review it had
conducted. C. Fitzsimons asked what programs would be affected by the inclusion of a
prerequisite and B. Perez responded that the Nursing program, which requires Anatomy
32, is limited by its accrediting board to a specific number of units the program requires
students to take. If Nursing students were required to take a prerequisite course prior to
enrolling in Anatomy 32, then the set number of units allowed would be exceeded. The
CCC asked if nursing students could take another course instead of Anatomy 32 and B.
Perez replied they could take Anatomy 30. However, Anatomy 30 does not meet the
requirements for the Bachelor of Science in nursing so most students opt to take Anatomy
32 which does. Chair Young then stopped the discussion and asked that curriculum review
be resumed for the division’s remaining proposals.
B. Perez directed the committee’s attention to Biology 16. After revisions to Sections II,
III, IV, VI, and VII of the course outline were agreed to, W. Killingsworth provided a
further revision to Section VII that more clearly outlined the required materials for the
course. Next, the committee reviewed Horticulture 44. B. Perez notified members that the
laboratory hours for this course were arranged then revisions to the catalog description and
Sections II, IV, and V of the outline were agreed to. At the conclusion of the discussion,
C. Somin moved, and P. Gebert seconded, that Anatomy 30, Biology 16, and Horticulture
44 be approved as revised. The motion carried. C. Somin then moved that the conditions
of enrollment be approved. L. Beckett-Lemus seconded the motion, which carried.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
J. Young welcomed back L. Mukogawa from her maternity leave.
At 4:15 p.m., P. Gebert moved, and C. Somin seconded, that the meeting be adjourned.
The motion carried.
