Approval of minutes from the November 2, 2010 meeting.
General Informational Items
Academic Council must approve any Fall 2011 catalog changes (including new courses, course number/title changes, or major/minor/concentration changes) no later than the February 15, 2011 meeting (and A&S Faculty at the February 21, 2011 meeting).
Consent Agenda
We will use the Consent Agenda to deal with routine business that requires Academic Council action and would not be expected to generate discussion. Any item can be moved from the Consent Agenda to the Discussion Agenda.

Proposed Change to Religion Major and Minor
(see catalog changes)
The religion department proposes to eliminate RELG 401 as a requirement for the religion major. The religion major would be composed of nine courses. RELG 400 would be the capstone experience, with the expectation that students will take the course in their junior year and only enroll in it as seniors with permission from the department.
We also propose to amend the religion minor to include RELG 400 instead of one of the 300-level electives.
