Professor Segal called the meeting to order at 9:35. The minutes of October 21 and 28 were approved as circulated. The minutes of the meeting of November 4 were corrected to read that the prerequisite of FREN 320 was added to FREN 321 AND 322, and that HIST 583/WMST 531: Women in the Twentieth Century in Europe and the U.S. was approved as a new course and for WR credit. The committee scheduled its meetings for the spring 98 semester for Tuesdays, 11:00-12:30. The committee discussed with Professor Wise the potential effect on Art and Art History majors of the Humanities Division's proposal to remove 500-level Humanities courses from the list of approved GER courses in the HUM area. It was agreed that if there was concern that this change would result in Art and Art History majors fulfilling their general education humanities requirements without having a course outside Art History and Theatre Arts, the department should specify that a course in English, Humanities, or Philosophy must be included in the degree's Division of Humanities requirements. Professor Adams and the committee discussed the concerns of faculty in the Department of History about the interpretation of the criteria for cross-cultural GER courses. The committee agreed that the intent of the present policy should be further clarified. It determined to take a review of the intent of the policy and the definition of the course criteria to the Faculty Assembly early in the spring semester. Pending that action, it tabled all pending requests for cross-cultural course designations. (The history courses approved for cross-cultural credit at the meeting of 10/28/97 are not affected by this action.) The committee approved a proposal from the Department of History to double-list courses for area requirements in the major and minor in history. The following courses are approved for application to more than one area; however, a single course will not fulfill both area requirements for an individual student. HIST 313: American area OR Asia, Africa, Latin American area HIST 323: European-Modern area OR American area HIST 324: European-Modern area OR American area HIST 359: Asia, Africa, Latin American area OR European-Modern area HIST 361: European-Modern area OR American area HIST 362: Asia, Africa, Latin American area OR American area HIST 367: European-Modern area OR Asia, Africa, Latin American area HIST 377: Asia, Africa, Latin American area OR European-Modern area HIST 378: Asia, Africa, Latin American area OR European-Modern area HIST 504: European-Modern area OR American area HIST 583: American area OR European-Modern area HIST 593: American area OR Asia, Africa, Latin American area The Committee approved the proposal to treat courses earned by A&S; students participating in the National Student Exchange according to the Metroversity model. The courses will apply to resident credit and will be entered on the UofL transcript, with a notation as to the institution at which they were taken.
