V. General Education Course Substitution Requests

1. Melissa Stith - OR 100 Intro. To Higher Education (1 credit) from WSU for General Education credit. D. Hokanson/W. Lewis, M/S, to approve substitution. Motion rescinded. Due to notification by S. Smith, Nursing, that BIOL 211 and 212 should be listed in the catalog as Additional Requirements and, thus, be counted as general education courses, it was recommended that the student hold her request until appropriate change has been made. This change will eliminate the need for requested substitution.
2. Danielle Patti - PER 216 Modern Dance (2 credits) from WSU. R. Miller/C. Summa, M/S, to recommend that student refer back to department and see Gretchen Cohenour for a credit by exam to eliminate the need for substitution request. Motion to approve this recommendation passed.

VI. University Studies Subcommittee (USS) Report

K. Williams reported on the following points:

1. Two members' terms have expired. P. Schumacher/Y. Grover, M/S, to approve the following USS members: Paul Johnson, English and Dan Kaufman, Business, both three year terms. Motion passed.
2. Catalog year - Check on asterisked courses in your major and make sure that degree listings match the new USP guidelines. Note that Basic Skills, Unity & Diversity, and Flag courses may count in both major and USP, but Arts & Natural Sciences Core courses can not. Course proposals may still be submitted and are requested SOON!
3. Flagged courses - Approval process began at the last USS meeting, 9/12. publishing a list in this catalog revision seems pointless; referral to a reliable web site may be an option; USS recommends that a list of USP-approved courses should not appear in the new catalog, but reference to a frequently updated web site should be given. Motion passed.
4. University Studies Flag Course Approval - Can the USP recommend disapproval?
5. Deadlines/time line - Departments need to submit flag course proposals SOON.
6. Course syllabi should indicate the course meets USP requirements. Note that courses will be reviewed at some later time and this criterion will be taken into account.
7. Procedure? Proposal to USS, then to web and USP also looked new courses.

R. Miller moved that the A2C2 Chair receive USP and new courses proposals then distribute to subcommittee. Motion withdrawn.
