III. New Business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Stage Directing, Undergraduate Certificate<\/a> (PDF)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is a new certificate designed to fill a growing need. Previously, there was just one stand-alone class. The certificate utilizes existing courses and has crossover with other departments. The capstone, along with experiential courses, provides a continuation of the initial directing course. Students will be primarily Theatre majors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jonathan Wipplinger moved to approve the certificate. Ionel Popa seconded and the motion passed unanimously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Advanced Analytical Techniques for Linguistic Data, Undergraduate Certificate<\/a> (PDF)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There were no representatives from the program to present this certificate or answer questions from the committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt Knachel moved to approve the certificate and Gwyn Wallander seconded. The motion carried with one nay and one abstention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Astrophysics, Minor<\/a> (PDF)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The minor will replace the Astrophysics Emphasis for Physics majors. It will also be open to all students, increasing access to this popular field. The minor will use existing courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Boyland moved to approve the minor. Matt Petering seconded and the motion passed unanimously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Peer Support Specialist, Microcredential<\/a> (PDF)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The microcredential consists of three existing social work courses and will qualify students for the Wisconsin Certified Peer Specialist registered apprenticeship. The program contributes to a federally funded project that expands the number of certified peer specialists in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt Knachel moved to approve the microcredential and John Boyland seconded. The motion passed unanimously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Art History, BA\/MA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The committee had concerns about the plan of study and suggested creating guidelines for plans of study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Boyland moved to approve the program change. Jonathan Wipplinger seconded and the motion passed unanimously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. BME 102: Critical Thinking for Solving Problems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

John Boyland moved to approve the course without GER and Nathan Salowitz seconded. The motion carried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Communication and Literacy courses must be focused primarily on teaching speaking and writing. Though this course has strong components for speaking and writing, it isn\u2019t focused on TEACHING speaking and writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Boyland moved to approve the course for Communication and Literacy GER. Ionel Popa seconded and the motion failed with three abstentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Elect new Chair<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ionel Popa nominated Mike Newman to serve as chair. Dave Clark seconded. John Boyland moved to close nominations and Nathan seconded. Both motions passed unanimously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Authorize Chair to Act Over the Summer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dave Clark moved to authorize the chair to act over the summer. Jesse McLean seconded and the motion passed unanimously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IV. Announcements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

GER Exceptions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There is a lack of uniformity in applying GER exceptions across schools and colleges. Some schools and colleges refuse to make exceptions while others are quite liberal in granting exceptions. The current policy relegates student appeals to the schools and colleges with monitoring by APCC. The committee is considering whether there should be university-wide guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
