Statement of Faculty Senate Action:

APC Document 33: Catalog Changes in General Education and Health
and Fitness


Effective Date:  Fall 1996

Proposal: That students completing HF 155, Men's Health
(description below), be said to have fulfilled the one-hour HF 120
(The Physical Self) General Lecture Education Requirement.

Add: In Catalog 1995-96, on page 131, the following: 

155  Men's Health (3)
     The study of how men can understand, gain control over, and
     take responsibility for their bodies and their health.  Course
     offered every semester.

Delete: In Catalog 1995-96, on page 51, under Health and Wellness,
the following:

One course from HF 120 (1) or HF 154 (3)

Add: In place of the deleted entry, the following:

One course from HF 120 (1), HF 154 (3), or HF 155 (3)

Impact: No additional faculty, staff, or resources will be
necessary.  No major, minor, department, or program will be
affected.  The course provides students with an additional option
for the Health and Fitness General Education Lecture Requirement. 

Rationale: The three credit-hour Men's Health course presents all
the health information that is required in the one-hour HF 120
course.  It is essential that the students in Men's Health first
understand how to apply the concepts presented in HF 120 to their
own lives before they can incorporate adequately the more complex
ethical, moral, legal, and medical issues discussed in the three-
hour course.  The multi-disciplinary nature of Men's Health makes
it an excellent alternative for students to fulfill the HF 120
General Education Lecture Requirement.
