Statement of Faculty Senate Action:

 

APC Document  23:                  Renaming of Women’s Studies Distribution Category and

Resulting Editorial Changes

 

 

Effective Date:  Fall 2006

 

1.         Replace:          On pg. 222, the heading Gender, Sexuality, Race, and Class, with:

 

Related Courses

 

 

Impact:  None

Rationale:  Most courses that count towards Women’s Studies, no matter their placement, deal with gender sexuality, race, and class.  Category 3 courses were intended to be those related courses that do not explicitly treat women/gender as their main focus.  This change eliminates confusion about the placement of courses among the 3 categories.

 

 

2.         Delete:             On pg. 221, in the third line of II under Major in Women's Studies:

 

                                    6 hours of Gender, Sexuality, Race and Class courses.

 

            Add:                 On pg. 221, in place of deleted entry:

 

                                    6 hours of Related Courses.

 

 

            Impact: None.

            Rationale: Editorial

 

 

 

 

3.         Delete:             On pg. 222, in the third line under Minor in Women's Studies:

 

                                    3 hours of Gender, Sexuality, Race and Class courses.

 

            Add:                 On pg. 221, in place of deleted entry:

 

                                    3 hours of Related Courses.
