Statement
of Faculty Senate Action:
APC Document 2: Delete LANG 351,
Writing for Business and the Professions
Delete
LIT 351, Beginning Old English
Effective
Date: Fall 2009
1. Delete: On page 185, the entry for LANG 351:
351 Writing
for Business and Professions (3)
Application of the writing process to the special
needs of business and professional contexts. Prerequisite: freshman composition
requirement: See department chair.
2. Delete: On page
187, the entry for LIT 351:
351 Beginning
Old English (3)
An introductory study of Old English prose and poetic
texts with relevant cultural and historical background. No prior familiarity
with Old English required. See department chair.
Impact Statement:
There
should be no impact on the resources and staffing of the Literature and
Language Department or other departments on campus with the deletion of these
two courses. The Management Department has not required LANG 351 for a number
of years and neither course has been taught in the last five years. There are
sufficient electives in the Literature and Language Department for students to
be able to satisfy requirements without these courses.
Rationale:
The
last time LANG 351 was taught was in Spring 2002 with only seven students
enrolled. The last time LIT 351 was taught was in Fall 1998 with nine students
enrolled. With little or no student interest and with the belief that neither
course is integral to the department’s curriculum, the Literature and Language
Department faculty proposes both courses be deleted from the Catalog.
