Berglund presented proposals to inactivate courses within Family Studies
curriculum.

Proposal to Inactivate a Course – FS 310 Survey

The course is a holdover
from the Family and Human Development program and has not been offered since
Family Studies replaced FHD in 2000. The course also does not address any of
the current CFLE content areas.
-
Proposal to Inactivate a Course – FS 311
Communicating Family Studies
The material in the course
has not been updated and is now covered in FS 425 Program Planning and
Evaluation.
-
Proposal to Inactivate a Course – FS 342 Issues
in Consumerism
The course is a holdover
from the old FHD program and has not been offered since 1999, when the FHD
program became Family Studies. The course also does not address any of the
current CFLE content areas.
-
Proposal to Inactivate a Course – FS 418
Administration of Human Services Programs
The material in FS 311 has been updated and is now covered in FS 425. The course is also not required for the CFLE program.

Proposal to Modify an Existing Course
o
Change from CA 399 – Nutrition for
Culinary Professionals
o
to CA 325 – Nutrition for Culinary
Professionals
This proposal was removed
from consideration by the Culinary Arts Institute. The proposal was replaced
with a Proposal to Offer a New Course, FN 326 Nutrition for Culinary
Professionals.
-
Proposal to Offer a New Course – FN 326
Nutrition for Culinary Professionals
The prerequisite requirement should be changed to “students must have earned 8 hours of lab based natural science prior to taking this course.” FN 326 is currently being offered as CA 399. It was originally placed under CA 399 as a trial course and is now a full course which is mandatory for all Culinary Arts majors.
Cay Lollar made a motion with a second from Rex Bruington, to accept the proposal with changes and the motion was approved.
