Motion to Remove the ‘Double-Dipping’ Restriction in the Intellectual Foundations Program
Introduced by the Instruction and Research Committee at the May 2008 Senate meeting:
WHEREAS, limitations on students’ ability to “double-dip” requirements between certain Intellectual Foundations categories and their majors present graduation difficulties for students in some majors; and
WHEREAS, the goal of breadth in students’ education can be substantively achieved with a less restrictive policy,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Intellectual Foundations resolution as amended be changed
From the current language: Each student may select one course from the Cognate Foundations or American History or Civilizations areas (up to 4 credits total) in her or his major to fulfill both a major requirement and an Intellectual Foundations requirement.
To: Each student may use courses to fulfill both major requirements and Intellectual Foundations requirements.
