General Education Sub Meet & Confer

January 17, 2007

Notes

 

Present:  Ron Nickerson, Gretta Handke, Brandon Cooke, Jim Rife, Kellian Clink, Harry Krampf, Dave Gjerde, Brenda Flannery, John Alessio, Kellian Clink

 

1/ We discussed the General Education Equivilents for pre-1998. Gretta Handke is owed a huge vote of gratitude for all her work on this. Everyone will please review to see if they can anticipate any problems with these.

 

2/ We discussed the diversity curriculum proposal. We discussed how international study could count for a diversity graduation requirement. We talked about the cross-over between Categories 7 & 8 in general education and the proposed diversity graduation requirement.  The language could be strengthened about the knowledge that students are expected to gain. When interested parties have agreed to the proposal, there are many aspects that will need discussion and firming up, including transferability and other registrar-related issues. The group that came up with the proposal is hopeful of having approval on the basic proposal and then can start to move on the procedures necessary to facilitate the proposed change of diversity  graduation requirement.

 

3/We agreed to study some pending policies by email and through the discussions between the two co-chairs of the Sub Meet: Ron Nickerson & Brenda Flannery.

 

Respectfully submitted,
