The agenda for the October 10 meeting of the College Senate is available online. The following item will be presented for action at the meeting:

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.
