  3. Old Business: None
  4. New Business:
    All program change proposals were approved without opposition. The program changes are listed on the CIM Program Report created by CourseLeaf.
    1. Proposed undergraduate program change for College of Education and Health Professions, Department of Curriculum and Instruction – EDSTBS, Educational Studies was presented by Rhett Hutchins. Realignment of the required coursework for the EDSTBS degree and providing specifications for the 55 elective hours required (Table One).
    2. Proposed undergraduate program change for College of Education and Health Professions, Department of Health, Human Performance and Recreation – RESM-M, Recreation & Sport Management Minor presented by Susan Mayes. RESM would like to eliminate the RESM-M minor. The RESM major has grown to more than 275 students (from about 75 in 2008). We can no longer justify offering a minor with our current resources as students in the minor occasionally block our majors from enrolling in required courses (Table One).
    3. Proposed graduate program change for the Department of Health, Human Performance and Recreation – ATTRMA, Athletic Training by Susan Mayes. Deleting PBHL 1103 Personal Health and Safety as a prerequisite to the program of study in Athletic Training (masters); this class is no longer needed for students to get licensed in Athletic Training (Table Two).
    4. Proposed graduate program change for the Department of Health, Human Performance and Recreation – CHLPMS, Community Health Promotion by Susan Mayes. CHLP faculty believe that students who graduate in the CHLPMS should possess above average (B or better) grade in the required research component and required courses component content areas. CHLP 5613 Epidemiology (graduate class) is replacing the formerly duel taught CHLP 4613 Epidemiology. Course is in the finalization of approval process (Table Two).
    5. Annual Course Review – A motion was made by Paul Cronan and seconded by Kathy Smith to accept all the recommended actions by the Office of the Registrar with two exceptions to item 4.e.iii., LAWW 778V and EXSC 2393. The motion passed unanimously.
      1. UCPC Courses Inactive More Than 3 Years-Courses to be Deleted Fall 2014
      2. UCPC Courses Inactive More Than 3 Years—Courses to Remain Inactive Fall 2014
      3. UCPC Courses with No Enrollment in Last 5 Years-Courses to be Inactivated Fall 2014
      4. UCPC Courses with No Enrollment in Last 5 Years-Courses to Remain Active Fall 2014

      After a lengthy discussion regarding the course review process, Norm Dennis and Pat Koski agreed to draft a proposal to further clarify course maintenance. The item is scheduled to be considered at the next UCPC meeting.
  5. Other Items for Consideration:
  6. Next meeting: February 27, 2015 at 2:30 p.m. (Agenda deadline February 13)
