Our next meeting will be Tuesday, September 7, 2010, from 10:30-11:45 in the Tyler Haynes Commons, Room 305 (THC 305). Please review the agenda below and the cited materials in advance of the meeting.
The minutes of the August 31, 2010 meeting were approved.
General Informational Items
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. All course proposals are on the Arts & Sciences website at http://as.richmond.edu/resources/policies/academic-council.html
English
Substitute requirement for the Interdisciplinary Concentration in Comparative Literature for English Majors:
Effective Term: Spring 2011 or Fall 2011 (as soon as the Registrar’s Office can make the change)
Faculty Coordinator: Terryl Givens
Transition Plan: not necessary, currently no students have chosen this concentration
Change requested: Given the English faculty’s involvement in so many interdisciplinary programs, we cannot offer ENGL 391, “Methods and Themes in Comparative Literature” as often as we need to for students to elect this concentration. So we have created a more flexible way for students to be introduced to methods in comparative literary studies. We are replacing the specific course requirement of "ENGL 391 Methods and Themes in Comparative Literature,” with this requirement:
"One upper level English or Modern Literatures and Cultures course (approved by the Concentration Coordinator) which focuses on the comparative and/or interdisciplinary study of a particular genre, theme, or historical period."
Interdisciplinary Studies
New Course Proposal
IDST 395-396 Independent Study
.25-1 unit
Prerequisites (if any): Permission of the Instructor
Journalism
Change to Journalism Major
No sign-offs required. This change to the major is a matter of converting one elective to a required course, JOUR 203, Intro to Visual Journalism. NO changes in title or number.
