MEMORANDUM

TO:				Professor Donald Eidam Faculty Senate Chairperson
FROM:				Francine G. McNairy Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
DATE:				October 28, 1996
SUBJECT:				APPROVAL OF FACULTY SENATE CURRICULAR RECOMMENDATIONS

As the President's designee, I am informing you of the approval of the following Faculty Senate Curricular actions:

1. Faculty Senate actions at July 11, 1996, meeting.
--African American Studies minor
Approved. The proposal must now be submitted to the SSHE for preliminary review. After the Vice Chancellor for Academic and Student Affairs responds, the proposal will be revised and submitted to Millersville University's Council of Trustees. Subsequent to Council of Trustees approval, the proposal must be resubmitted to SSHE for final approval. The estimated timeline for final approval is at least a minimum of two semesters with the possibility of three semesters
--M.E.D. Degrees in Athletic Management and Athletic Coaching (36 credits each).
Approved. Because this is a new degree program, the SSHE Board of Governors policy requires an external consultant. After the consultant has reviewed the proposal, the materials will be submitted to the Chancellor's Office for preliminary review. After the Vice Chancellor for Academic and Student Programs responds, the proposals will be revised and submitted to the Council of Trustees for approval. Subsequent to Council of Trustees approval, the proposal is then resubmitted to the SSHE Board of Governors for final approval. The estimated timeline for final approval of this new degree is at least 18 months. However, the individual new courses may be offered effective with the 1997 Spring Semester.
--Proposed new courses for M.E.D. degrees in Athletic Management and Athletic Coaching: HPED551, 581, 582, 601, 602, 603, 604, 605, 610, 611, 615, 616, 617, 618; BUAD 551, 612
Approved.
--HUMN302 Confession, Apology, Memoir: Autobiographical Writings in the Greco-Roman World (3 s.h., Perspectives, effective SP97).
Approved

2. Moratorium on general education courses.
You may recall that the President announced during his fall convocation address that he was considering lifting the moratorium on general education courses. Consultations have occurred with APSCUF, Faculty Senate leadership, numerous faculty, Deans' Council, and myself, and no comments opposing the lifting of the moratorium were received.
Therefore, the moratorium on general education courses is lifted effective immediately.
