(Course report deadlines are in bold; UO Catalog deadlines are italicized and indented.)

The body of this report consists of two major sections: Proposed Course Changes for Fall 2000 (unless stated otherwise) and Other Curricular Matters.

An Appendix of proposals that the committee received fall term 1999 or earlier–but did not approve–is provided as a courtesy. It is not part of the motion submitted to the University Senate.

Grading, repeatability, sequence. Unless indicated otherwise, courses may be taken either pass/no pass or for letter grades. "P/N only" or "Graded only" indicates that all students must take the course as specified in the bold print. Separate grading options for majors are bracketed in this report and appear in UO class-schedule notes; they are not printed in UO catalogs. "R" after course credits means that the course number may be repeated for credit. "Sequence" after the description means the courses must be taken in numerical order. Changes in course descriptions, instruction type, pre- and corequisites are not necessarily included here.

Group requirements. The committee recommended additions, changes, and deletions of courses approved for Group I (arts and letters), Group II (social science), or Group III (science) according to the criteria approved by the University Senate in May 1998. Changes affecting specific courses are listed in the main body of this report. Group requirements, group-requirement policies, and a summary of group-satisfying course changes appear under Other Curricular Matters.

Multicultural requirement. The committee followed the guidelines in the definitions of the three requirements. Changes affecting specific courses are listed in the main body of this report. The multicultural requirement, definitions of the three multicultural categories, and a summary of multicultural-course changes appear under Other Curricular Matters.

Courses not offered the past three years. As recommended by the curriculum committee in 1994—95, and subsequently endorsed by the Undergraduate Education and Policy Coordinating Council (now the Undergraduate Council), the Office of the Registrar sent each department, in April 1999, a report listing courses that have not been offered during the past three years. Departments were to respond with corrections, explanations for keeping courses, or plans to drop untaught courses in 2000—01.

At its May 1998 meeting, the University Senate agreed that the University Committee on Courses should include in its preliminary reports courses that should be dropped because (1) they have not been taught for three years and (2) the department has provided no reasonable explanation of why they have not been taught or whether they will be in the future.

*Courses marked with an asterisk in this report were dropped by direct request from the department to the Office of the Registrar. During winter term 2000, members of the University Committee on Courses will continue to pursue discussions with departments about courses not offered. If no reasonable explanation for keeping such courses is offered, the committee will recommend that they be dropped in its winter 2000 report. Departments are reminded that courses may be reinstated within three years of their drop dates.

Guidelines for Preparing Proposals for New Academic Programs. The committee recommends that this memorandum, dated November 17, 1999, from Provost John Moseley to Deans and Department Heads, be appended to this report under Other Curricular Matters.

The University Committee on Courses moves that Proposed Course Changes for Fall 2000 and Other Curricular Matters be approved. If approved, they take effect fall 2000 unless stated otherwise.

Bachelor’s degree candidates . . . must complete one course in two of the following three categories. A minimum of 6 credits in approved courses must be earned.

Category C: International Cultures. The goal is to study world cultures in critical perspective. Approved courses either treat an international culture in view of the issues raised in Categories A and B–namely, race and ethnicity, pluralism and monoculturalism, and/or prejudice and tolerance–or explicitly describe and analyze a world-view–i.e., a system of knowledge, feeling, and belief–that is substantially different from those prevalent in the 20^th-century United States.

On October 7, 1999, the Undergraduate Council approved a new undergraduate major in photography leading to a bachelor of fine arts (B.F.A.) degree. The Department of Fine and Applied Arts, in the School of Architecture and Allied Arts, oversees the program.

The Graduate School corrected the name of the graduate major in jazz studies; it should be music: jazz studies.

The College of Education’s Department of Applied Behavior and Communication Sciences requested that a former subject code be reinstated: COUN, for counseling courses.

President Dave Frohnmayer has granted Physical Activity and Recreation Services permission to change the name of the newly completed Student Recreation and Fitness Center to the Student Recreation Center.

J 495/595: Request to reduce the course number and level; change the title and description; increase credits; and add group-satisfying status is pending review by the College of Arts and Sciences Curriculum Committee.
