1. Call to Order - The chair, Jeffrey Oxford called the meeting to order at 9:01 a.m. in HLT 241. Committee members introduced themselves to the new student member, Daniel Carpenter II.

   It was moved, seconded, and approved to suspend the agenda to accommodate guests.

   V.C.1.

   It was moved and seconded to recommend to the Dean approval of the following course: Wmns 302   Gendered Bodies: (Subtitle) (new) -- salmon Kathy Miller-Dillon and Gwynne Kennedy responded to questions. The motion was approved.

   V.A.1.

   It was moved and seconded to recommend to the Dean approval of the proposed changes to the Microbiology Major. Mark McBride was available to answer questions. The motion was approved.

   V.B.1.

   It was moved and seconded to recommend to the Dean approval of the following course: Russian 310   Advanced Russian Reading and Conversation: (Subtitle) (new) Joe Peschio was available to answer questions. The motion was approved with the following two contingencies: 1) the syllabus should indicate that the last exam is turned in during the scheduled final exam time and 2) the section of the syllabus where discussion of the grading break-down occurs needs to be corrected so that it matches the percentages that are listed above it.

   It was moved and seconded to recommend to the Dean approval of the following course: Russian 311   Contemporary Russian Language: (Subtitle) (new) The motion was approved.

   V.B.3.

   It was moved and seconded to recommend to the Dean approval of the following courses for international status: Philos 355   Political Philosophy Philos 435   Existentialism Margaret Atherton responded to questions. The motion was approved for both courses, the first, unanimously, the second, on a vote of 6-2 (6 in favor, 2 opposed).

   V.B.1.

   It was moved and seconded to recommend to the Dean approval of the following course: Celtic 350 Advanced Topics in Celtic Studies: (Subtitle) (new) John Gleeson responded to questions. It was pointed out that the first syllabus currently says there are two textbooks, but three are listed. This inconsistency needs to be corrected. On the second syllabus, the syllabus needs to be cleaned up a bit before it is given to students. For example, the section called "Place of Course in Department's Curriculum" should be removed. Also, the required research paper should be reflected somewhere in the grading section. With these friendly suggestions, the motion was approved.

   V.C.1.

   It was moved and seconded to recommend to the Dean approval of the following course: Ethnic 275   Queer Migrations (new, GER-HU, CD) Rachel Buff responded to questions. The motion was approved.

   Jeff Smith attended the meeting to respond to questions. Committee member David Pritchard also provided additional information when needed. JMC 111 Gender and the Media (new, GER-HU) Tom O'Bryan questioned whether this course should be considered a repeat of 460. Is it essentially the same course? Is the same syllabus being used? The same textbook? Jeff Smith and David Pritchard replied that they could not answer these questions about 460 because they only had the syllabus for the new JMC 111 course. They thought the course should be judged on the syllabus provided for 111. After considerable discussion, the motion was approved.
