d. Administrative Changes

(1) PE*005A – Fitness: Stress Reduction Through Exercise & Physical Fitness – 3.0 Units
Chris explained the situation is that when this course was first presented to CRC, Daniel Guich had a lot of questions as to whether this course was primarily a PE course or a cross between a PE course and a Sociology course. In his opinion, there are enough objectives to consider this course in Sociology. Originally this course was not supposed to be passed through curriculum until these concerns were addressed. The course did go through the CRC process and is an approved course. Daniel Guich believes this course should not be taught by someone with only a degree in physical education area. The simple solution would be to make Sports Psychology as a discipline but this is not on our list of disciplines. Daniel would like CRC to figure out a way to correct this error so that if Scott Buss leaves, we can make sure the person teaching this course has the appropriate degree. Dianne stated that we need to put down the disciplines that are needed to teach this course and a person needs to meet the minimum qualifications to teach a course in such disciplines. Betty has contacted both Daniel and Scott but neither could attend today’s meetings. Dianne believes that one department should not take ownership of an area if there is not a comparable course already being offered in that department (then that is course overlap). What is the focus of the course—is it theoretical? The course at San Jose State should also be reviewed. The recommendation from CRC is for Daniel Guich and Scott Buss to meet and discuss with each other and their respective CRC representatives, if necessary, to resolve any differences.

Review of the course overlap policy will be added under Future Agenda items.

Jennifer will check with Jim Burrell about the time he was allotted for the CRC meetings on the Compressed Calendar schedule. {According to Jim Burrell, the CRC meetings will be held on Mondays from 2:05 pm to 4:10 pm beginning Fall 2003.}

b. Report from Appeals Committee
Yolanda met with Chris Moyers and Hoan Pham to discuss appeals. They discussed ensuring the timelines and a brief description of the process be distributed to All MC Users. If a course is in process and there is a paperwork issue, which makes the course miss the deadline, the proposer would be allowed to attend a CRC meeting and make an appeal. CRC (including Hoan Pham) would hear the appeal and at the conclusion of the presentation, the proposer would leave and the committee would vote on the appeal. The deadlines and descriptions of the process need to be published and distributed to everyone. Kara has been thinking more about the idea of a website and she believes this would help. If we have the deadlines, CRC manual, forms, etc. available on the website faculty would be able to access the information needed to propose items to CRC. Anna stated that her grant pays for Sallie’s assistant and if all the documents are compiled, the PA should be able to create the webpage before the end of June.
