DISCUSSION
The Committee continued discussion of mathematics requirements, looking at a revised summary of CUE discussions so far. The Committee agreed to amend the proposal to exclude MATH K300 and K305 from satisfying the Mathematics Fundamentals ("Step One") part of the requirement. The Committee further agreed to send the amended draft to Dan Maki, David Hoff, and Linda McKinley in Math with an invitation to the next CUE meeting for discussion. The subcommittee on courses for Formal Reasoning will provide an updated list of appropriate courses. To allow for faculty discussion and a faculty vote, Dean Smith said that the earliest time to expect a change in the requirement (if approved by the faculty) would be the Fall of 2004.
The Committee discussed the proposal for a B.S. in Biotechnology, and voted to approve the proposal with comments. The Biotechnology committee will be asked to address the following issues before the College will forward the proposal to the Campus Curriculum Committee: 1) How is this proposal related to programs in the School of Informatics? and, 2) What is the role of the study of ethics in the undergraduate Biotechnology curriculum?
The Committee discussed the Report of the Task Force for the World Village: Living-Learning Center. As an informational item, the Committee was informed that the second College-sponsored distance education course is now available: first-year Uzbek is being offered by the Central Eurasian Studies Department to students at Ohio State (through a cooperative program of the CIC).
The next meeting is scheduled for February 18, 2003 in Wylie 225.
