Dr. Harvey moved to recommend approval of a new course ECON 3315 Labor Economics. Dr. Horton seconded the motion. Discussion followed. The following concerns were raised regarding the new course:
1. The proposal was not submitted according to the new course proposal format.
2. The proposal does not explain how or why it will replace ECON 3300.
3. The library holdings seem outdated and there are questions regarding a plan to upgrade the librarys holding in Labor Economics.
4. The assignments section mentions quizzes and presentation but does not further discuss these assignments as it does the other types of assignments.
After further discussion, Dr. Harvey and Dr. Horton withdrew their motion and second to approve ECON 3315 Labor Economics. The council decided to send the new course proposal back to the department to be resubmitted after addressing the above concerns.

7. Chair Roden asked the council to review all programs with admission requirements to be further discussed at the first meeting of the next academic year.
8. Dr. Benson moved to recommend approval of the following statement. Dr. David Harvey seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously.
The Undergraduate Council asks that the Council of Deans give serious consideration to the proliferation of interdisciplinary programs and the strain this causes on various departments and faculty resources. As any given course comes to serve various different student constituencies it becomes increasingly important that those courses are offered on a regularly scheduled basis. However, without adequate increases in faculty, departments that serve these programs become increasingly less able to offer these courses in a timely manner and at the same time meet their obligations to their majors, minors, general education and service courses.
9. Meeting adjourned at 2:30 p.m.
Submitted on behalf of the Undergraduate Council.
