Baccalaureate Core Committee
February 7, 2000
Minutes
Members Present: John Lee, Kurt Peters, Satish Reddy, Michael Scanlan, and Bonnie Avery
1. Minutes of 1/24/00 meeting were approved.
2. Scanlan will meet with the Head Advisors to gather input concerning HHP 231. Some things to
check on are student attitude toward the course, the desirability of choice in satisfying the health
requirement, and the method of testing out of the course. Basically the idea is just to see what
opinions and information the Head Advisors may have for us.
3. Scanlan will begin a draft of a report on HHP 231.
4. AIHM 481 approved for WIC
5. GEOG 105 from Chemeketa CC. Committee requested more information via Leslie Burns.
6. GEOG 106 and 107 not approved for baccalaureate core credit as Cultural Diversity.
7. DPD Task Force Report - Lee reported on the progress of the task force and provided draft versions
of the proposed criteria and narrative. It was tentatively agreed that the committee would endorse the
new criteria and narrative.
8. CSS 205 was approved as satisfying the biological science requirement of the baccalaureate core.
CSS 205 was already approved as satisfying the physical sciences requirement. It was noted in the
discussion that, although most courses are approved for only one area, the criteria for the perspectives
area in science do not preclude that a course may be appropriate for both areas. In particular, it was
noted that there are no separate criteria for physical and biological science categories. The intent of
the criteria seems to be that a student get a range of science exposure. The dual character of CSS
205 seems to meet that intent.
10. Next meeting will be Mon. 2/21/00.
