FINAL SPRING 2005 CURRICULUM REPORT
Passed, as amended, by the University Senate on May 11, 2005
OVERVIEW
The body of this report consists of two major sections: Course Proposals reviewed spring 2005 and Other Curricular Matters. Policies and definitions governing group and multicultural general-education requirements are under Other Curricular Matters.
Course proposals approved by both the University Committee on Courses (UOCC) and the University Senate are effective fall term 2005, unless a specific term is requested by an academic department and stated otherwise in this report.
The UOCC will consider new proposals during fall term and will submit a fall quarterly report to the University Senate in November 2005.
Routing of Minor Changes: The UOCC has confirmed that the following minor course changes may be made without review by the full committee: minor edits of course description, pre- or co-requisites, grading option, and conditions of repeatability. Changes may be submitted in writing directly to the Offices of the Registrar and Creative Publishing, (in care of Mike Jefferis (jefferis@uoregon.edu) and Scott Skelton (sskelton@darkwing.uoregon.edu). The memorandum should indicate the effective term for the change(s). Note: extensive changes may be referred to the UOCC for review.
Courses Not Taught Report: The UOCC proposes to change the policy of dropping courses not taught within the past three years from the fall curriculum report to the spring curriculum report. This would allow correct listing of courses in catalog for the following curricular year. The intention for this change is better curriculum planning and allows departments a chance to reply earlier and provide a better, more thoughtful response, while departments are involved in curricular planning and staffing for the next academic year and have a better perspective on which courses they are able to offer.

DROPPED COURSES
The University Senate agreed in 1998 that the report of the Committee on Courses should include those permanently numbered courses that are being dropped because (1) they have not been taught for three or more years, and (2) the department can provide no reasonable explanation why they have not been taught or whether they will be in the future. The faculty requires that general education–satisfying courses be offered each year. Other courses should be offered at least every other year to avoid misrepresentation of course offerings to prospective students, and ensure that required courses are readily available to current students.
Courses may be reinstated within a period of three years, conditional upon the following: (a) there has been no change made to the course, (b) the department provides the term the course will be taught, (c) the department provides the name of the faculty member who will be responsible for teaching, and (d) the department provides a course syllabus with information regarding undergraduate-graduate differential for demonstrating mastery if the course is numbered 4xx/5xx.
By action of the Committee on Courses, the following courses are removed from the curriculum:
