It was clarified by University Advising Director Michelle Yager that next summers SOAR (Summer Orientation and Registration) programs may be ending four hours earlier than in past years (running from Noon one day to Noon the next day, instead of from Noon one day to 4 p.m. the next day). Magdelyn Helwig also noted the incorrect spelling of her first name in the list of members present on the 18th. Motion: Cheryl Bailey moved approval of the amended October 18 Minutes; Magdelyn Helwig seconded the motion. The Minutes were unanimously approved as amended. Report from the Office of the Provost: Associate Provost Nancy Parsons reported that the proposed FYE changes have been unanimously approved by CCPI and have also been approved, in a 7-0-2 vote, by CAGAS. The Faculty Senate will consider the proposal at its next meeting, on Tuesday, November 6. University Advising Report: Michelle Yager reported that the proposed revised schedule for SOAR has still not been approved. Transfer Articulation Report: CGE Chair Pat McGinty reported that the Councils Transfer Articulation Subcommittees continued to function relatively smoothly, so he will continue funneling requests for articulation of Gen Ed courses to the appropriate CGE subcommittee. Reading in General Education Subcommittee: Subcommittee Chair Magdelyn Helwig reported that the subcommittees work is underway and that she will work with the UNIV 100 planning committee to include reading comprehension in that newly revised and required FYE course. Revisions to General Education Request for Inclusion Form The Council took up consideration of possible revisions to the existing Request for Inclusion in General Education form, last revised in 2010. The Council considered whether to specify inclusion of a syllabus with the form. The present form asks for a sample outline of course content. After some discussion, the consensus of the Council members present was that a full syllabus would be preferable to a mere outline of content. The Council discussed item f under Justification for Inclusion in Gen. Ed., which states, Where relevant, explain how this course incorporates multicultural perspectives (cultural pluralism) or pedagogy. Assoc. Provost Parsons pointed out that the state now expects each universitys General Education curriculum to address ways in which human relations may be improved, by addressing race, ethnicity, gender, and other issues related to human relations. After considerable discussion, it was determined that item f could be used to gather information to be used by WIU in documenting how it meets that state requirement, by rephrasing it to say If your course is outside of Category V (Multicultural Studies), does your course address multicultural human relations, including race, ethnicity, or gender, and if so, how? The matter of assessment of goals was also considered. The Council agreed that item a and item b were unnecessarily repetitive and could be combined by changing the second sentence in a by adding and be willing to assess after You must address in item a. Moreover, it was noted that while current item b states that All courses in the Multicultural Studies category must assess goal 5, the form includes no corresponding statement for Category VI courses, which are all expected to assess goal 6. It was also determined that at least two of the goals that courses in categories I through IV are prepared to assess should be selected from goals 1 through 4, to ensure adequate coverage of all General Education goals by the curriculum as a whole. Therefore, the Council recommends that a and b be combined to read as follows: Briefly describe which of the six General Education goals (listed under Philosophy and Goals of General Education in the undergraduate catalog) your course will address and how it will address them. You must address and be willing to assess a minimum of three goals. All courses in Categories I, II, III, and IV must propose at least three goals for assessment, at least two of which must be chosen from goals 1, 2, 3, and 4. All courses in the Multicultural Studies category must propose at least three goals for assessment, including goal 5. All courses in the Human Well-Being Category must propose at least three goals for assessment, including goal 6. It was also suggested that since item d is not directly related to the syllabus, it should be moved to the final item in the list. With the combination of items a and b into one item, that would mean that the question If this course will also be required for the major, how will these competing demands (i.e., general education goals and major goals) be accommodated? would become new item e. Chair McGinty volunteered to produce a draft copy of the Request for Inclusion Form that reflects the discussed changes and present it a future meeting. Good of the Order: Chair McGinty noted that the next CGE meeting would include the business of electing the Chair for 2013-2014 and that he is willing to discuss the roles of the position with persons that may be interested in serving as Chair of CGE. Walter Kirkland (SGA) noted that SGA will be holding a Faculty/Staff appreciation event in the near future, details are forthcoming. Motion: Magdelyn Helwig moved to adjourn at 4:40 pm.
