    My concern with the nursing proposal is that Nursing has (somewhat on a regular basis) had to pay for extra sections of NUTR 120 already. My budget will not allow for us to fund an extra section that this proposal would require. I have contacted Nursing but have not received a firm “yes” as to whether they can fund another section on an ongoing basis. In fact, I was told that their funds are getting tighter. This speaks to the same issue as to why we tabled the DET proposal. All Department chairs should be consulted when their departments are going to be impacted significantly before proposals are passed. If I were not on the UUAC, this proposal might have passed without my knowledge but then would cause more strain on my budget, or I would have to ask Nursing to pay for it (which I would do but is really out of my comfort zone). All that being said, nurses do need some nutrition knowledge that 1 course of nutrition would provide. I would really like to get an answer from Nursing first. I am OK with the DET proposal if Cheryl is.
