  1. Minutes. MSC to approve the Minutes of 10/15/2007.
  2. Agenda. MSC to Approve the Agenda as distributed.
  3. Communications and Announcements.
    Chair Jones announced that the information requested for SW 273 Sex
    Therapy (Item #47) and Chem 226 (Item #49) has been received and
    approved by L. Neal. All parties have been notified.
  4. Discussion.

    The subcommittee held discussions on MPA 245 Human Resources
    Management (Item #36) and FN 250 Food and Nutrition Resource
    Management (Item #38) since these two courses are closely related to the
    Human Resources course offered by the Craig School of Business.
    Feedback has been received from the Craig School of Business Graduate
    Coordinator regarding MPA 245 Human Resources Management and
    concerns have been voiced regarding FN 250 Food and Nutrition
    Resource Management.

    The subcommittee has the following questions and concerns regarding
    the offering of the Human Resources Management course by the School
    of Business:

    How many Human Resources Management courses will be offered?

    Will the Business Human Resources Management course meet the needs of non­-Business students?

    How accommodating is the Business Department to non­Business students who need to take the Human Resources Management course?

    Concerns were raised regarding the need to offer FN 250 during Spring
    2008. Also, an email request was received from Public Administration to
    withdraw the course deletion of GPA 241 Resources Management (Item
    #35) since the issue of offering the new course MPA 245 Human
    Resources Management (Item #36) has not been resolved. The committee
    approved the withdrawal of the course deletion of GPA 241 Resources
    Management (Item #35).

    An email will be sent to all parties – Craig School of Business, Public
    Administration, and Food and Nutritional Sciences regarding the
    subcommittee’s questions and concerns.
