discussion, the motion passed unanimously.
1. Actions from the Department of Economics

Curricular Actions from the College of Business and Economics
2. Actions from the Department of ITSCM
A motion was made to approve Curricular Actions from the Department of ITSCM by Stuart Glosser with a second by Robert Boostrom. After discussion and a vote taken, approval was unanimously denied for this course. There appear to be errors in listing the pre-requisite courses (e.g., check the Political Science course that’s listed—a member from Political Science suggested that this is not the course that should be listed as a pre-req.). Also, the list of pre-reqs is long and might severely limit enrollment in this course—please re-consider the list of pre-requisites.
2.1 New Course – ITSCM 315(approval denied)
“Accessibility in High Tech Products and Systems”
Proposal indicates that a Form 2 has already been completed to add ITSCM 315 to the
