Discussion Items

The committee reviewed its previous discussion on allowing library faculty to provide the GC2Y fourth hour. The committee recommended that this be presented as one of many possible options; in other words, GC2Y faculty may decide whether this option is appropriate for their class or not. The primary instructor and the library instructor would need to collaborate on the additional course content for the fourth hour, and it would need to be fully integrated into the course content. It could not be a “using the library” course.

The committee continued planning for the forums on GC2Y course. The committee decided to hold two forums, one during the common meeting time and one during another, non-MWF time period in the week. Kay Anderson will schedule the classrooms. The committee will reach out to faculty whose GC2Y courses have been approved to discuss their plans for the fourth hour during the forum. The library faculty will also be invited to discuss their proposal for the fourth hour. Invitations will be sent to GC2Y instructors, department chairs, and to the general campus community.

The committee reviewed a list of proposals that were still pending revision or review by the committee. They are:

• GC2Y 2000 Crossroads: Connections and Separations in the 20^th Century World for Area B (Pending Revision)
• GC2Y 2000 Hip Hop Culture and Interdisciplinary Studies Methodology for Area B (Pending Revision)
• GC2Y 2000 Colonialism and Post Colonialism in the Golden Age for GC2Y Area B (Pending Revision)
• MKTG 3180 International Marketing Environment for the Global Overlay (Pending Revision)
• SOCI 4920 Senior Seminar in Sociology for the Writing Overlay (Pending University Senate Decision on Proposal Regarding Change in Overlay Requirements)
• GC2Y 2000 Issues in International Business for Area B (Pending Revision)

The committee discussed the need to replace the Provost’s appointee to the committee. John Swinton will follow-up with the Provost.
