1. Ed Adelson introducing CCI resolutions at ASC Faculty Senate meeting Wednesday
2. Bill to provide dissenters view

                                                               i.      Add back 2 dilutes GEC – decreases program by one course

                                                             ii.      “choose” factor is spread over Natural Science, Social Science, Arts & Humanities, Historical Study and Capsone without restrictions

                                                            iii.      Minor/2^nd major should remain part of option

                                                           iv.      Diversity, moral reasoning etc. embedded, not check-off – goals to be included on syllabi; is this too opaque for students?

                                                             v.      Professional Colleges need topics to be more obvious for accreditation

                                                           vi.      Bill abstained because HUM will come out ok with this proposal, but there is a possibility of losing 1,000 students from BIO who will likely take Nat. Sci courses as pre-reqs to major

3. Reduction to 181 also being proposed to Senate

 

3. Chair elections will take place 1^st meeting of fall

 

4. Curricular workshop – proposed move to September 19 (Tuesday) from 9-11am
