>Dr. Worthey explained the rationale for the change. There was discussion

>
>By friendly amendment, the proposal was revised. The new wording proposed
>the creation of a General Science Teaching Major with a Concentration in
>Physics. This major/concentration will combine the requirements of the
>General Science Major and Physics Teaching Minor, with the addition of
>WI-PHYS 317, and will be cross-referenced in the new catalog.

>Discussion of the role of the Ed. Policy Committee:
>
>As per the Faculty Handbook (II.2.2.5) and as its name suggests, the
>committee addresses issues that actually affect educational policy. As
>such, matters that do not significantly do so (e.g., numbering issues not
>calling for a change of or exception to curricular policy) need not be
>submitted to the committee.
>
>>Motion to adjourn. Passed.
>
>Next meeting will be scheduled for January 30.

>Respectfully submitted, Carl Herzig.
