  4. I’ll paste my email here for reference.

    Good afternoon, Council –

    Thank you for your generous offer to hear a revised DET proposal this week. I have heard from both Brad and Cheryl, and they are ready for you to consider it. A few points to note:

    1. Cheryl asked that we be sure to note that she and Brad “agreed that this is a one-year fix for the Film & Production emphasis in order for the changes to move forward. I realize the catalog will not indicate it’s a one-year fix. But in the fall, the DET/JMC faculty will need to re-visit this plan and consider capacity issues in JMC classes for the future.”

    2. You will also notice a couple of information items from Nursing. These are pre-requisite and co-requisite clarifications.

    3. Also, you will see one action item from Nursing. If it is the will of the Council, Becky et al., would appreciate your consideration. If not, I understand and we can table it until the fall.

    4. If you choose to consider it, Nursing is proposing to remove CHEM 114 from a menu in their degree, so that it will include only nutrition courses. Nutrition is the intended the purpose of the menu. They have included a letter from Kim Pamplin in the proposal.

    5. We are going to attempt to do this electronically as several of you have requested. Please interact using the comments section of the blog, so that we have a good record of each person’s comments.

  5. Regarding the CHEM 114 question, in a conversation with Becky Hammack, dean of the School of Nursing, I learned that the outcomes for that particular supplement menu have to do with patient nutrition, rather than medication.
