- Program or Course Revisions:
BA Music/Composition Track and BA Music/General Studies Track - Florez/Tomlinson motion to approve the liberal studies portion of the proposal. Passed: Unanimous.
BFA Music Performance Su/Florez motion to approve with minor revisions (correct total Liberal Studies hours from 47 to 48-50) the liberal studies portion of the proposal. Passed: Unanimous.
Discussion:
- The committee discussed the results of the Senate's approval of the compromise curriculum.
- The committee then discussed implementation issues.
- three year phase in of revised and new courses seems best.
- guidelines for each year of the phase in were discussed.
- thoughts on implementing course revisions.
- coverage area - more than one area.
- number of courses offered by a department.
- how often the course is offered.
- enrollment - larger done earlier in process?.
- thoughts on departmental curriculum revisions.
- work with council of chairs.
- The LS office will make a spreadsheet with all of the LS courses and how often they have been offered in the past five years to serve as a base for future discussions.
- Social Science criteria - Hildebrandt/Wacker motion to change the wording back to “no course prefix may be used more than once”. Reasoning - the compromise curriculum has liberal studies electives which the previous “new” curriculum did not. The language of allowing more than one prefix was based on a department needing to count a prefix more than once if there were no liberal studies electives. That reason no longer exists.
- We will discuss the Technological Literacy criteria at next week's meeting.
Motion to Adjourn: Tomlinson/Florez/. Passed: Unanimous. The meeting adjourned at 4:33 pm.
