Statement of Faculty Senate Action:

 

 

APC Document  11:                              Delete ENVR 321 and its cross-listed course, BIOL 321;

Delete ENVR 350;

Editorial changes resulting from deletions

                                                           

Effective Date: Fall 2009

 

 

1a.  Delete:       On page 141, entry for ENVR 321:

 

321             Limnology (BIOL 321) (4)

Study of the physical, biological and especially chemical processes in fresh waters.

(Includes laboratory and fieldwork.) Prerequisites: CHEM 145, 236; ENVR 241. See

department chair.

 

 

1b.  Delete:       On page 89, the entry for BIOL 321:

 

                              321             Limnology (ENVR 321) (4)

Introduction to biology of major fresh water habitats. Involves determination of primary floral and faunal elements and physiochemical properties of these habitats. Prerequisite: BIOL 115. Even years Fall.

 

 

2.  Delete:         On page 143, the entry for ENVR 350:

 

350             Dendrology (4)

Identification, ecological and taxonomic relationship, and geographic distributions of

important woody plants of North America, concentrating on native species of the

Southeast. Prerequisite: ENVR 130. Even years Fall.

 

 

Impact:  Minimal

 

Rationale: 

Both Limnology and Dendrology were taught by professors no longer on the Environmental Studies faculty. Significant content of those courses will be covered in Stream Ecology (currently being proposed) and Woody Plants (will be taught as a special topics course in spring 2009) by current faculty.

 

 

 

3.  Delete:         On page 87, under concentration in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology:

 

three courses from BIOL 321, 331-337, 340 or 348, 342, 350, 351, 356, 360, 365, or

ENVR 341, 350, 360, 384;

 

      Add:           On page 87, in place of deleted entry:

 

three courses from BIOL 331-337, 340 or 348, 342, 350, 351, 356, 360, 365, or ENVR 341, 343, 360, 384;

 

 

Impact: 

Minimal. BIOL 321 and ENVR 350 are being removed as options. ENVR 343, Stream Ecology is being added.

 

Rationale:

Editorial to reflect curricular changes.
