RE:		120-credit Chemistry curricula

In department meeting on Tuesday 11 March 2003, the Chemistry Department faculty unanimously requested that Faculty Senate take the following actions regarding the four chemistry curricula that have been presented to Senate and on which final action has been postponed.

1. The B.S in Chemistry curriculum be considered for passage.
2. The B.S. in Chemistry B Polymer Chemistry curriculum be considered for passage.
3. The B.S. in Chemistry B Environmental Chemistry curriculum be amended to include "Competency equivalent to Biology 100", and then be considered for passage.
4. The B.S. in Chemistry B Biochemistry curriculum be amended (1) to include "Competency equivalent to Biology 100" and (2) under Required Related, the wording be returned to "Select two additional courses from the following" from "Select one additional course from the following", and then be considered for passage.

If the amendments fail, the department would like to withdraw the proposals that revise the last two curricula (3 & 4), and have those 120-credit revision proposals returned to the department for further consideration.
