Statement of Faculty Senate Action:

 

 

APC Document 44:                                                          Add new course, SOC 380, to curriculum

 

Effective Date:   Fall 2010

 

 

1.  Add:                 On page 260, new course SOC 380, Feminist Theory:

 

380                 Feminist Theory (3)

                                                An investigation of selected feminist theorists on a variety of topics that are

                                current in the literature. With permission of department chair, course may be

repeated as content varies for a total of 6 hours credit. Even years Fall.

               

Impact Statement:

This course has been offered 3 times as a special topics, serving as an elective for Sociology majors and a requirement (interchangeable with WMST (WGSS) and PHIL 365) for the WMST (WGSS) major and minor. The only change, therefore, is listing this course as a permanent offering.  As such, no impact is anticipated unless there is unforeseen substantial growth in demand in Sociology or WMST (WGSS).

 

Rationale: 

This proposal is simply following university policy that requires a special topics course that has been offered three times be assigned a permanent course number and listing in the catalog.
