Joint Report of the Curricular Affairs Committee and the Academic Standards and Calendar Committee on Section 8.22.20 of the University Manual.

At the November 2, 2000 meeting of the Academic Standards and Calendar Committee and the December 11, 2000 of the Curricular Affairs Committee the following action was taken and is now presented to the Faculty Senate for confirmation.

Amend section 8.22.20 of the University Manual to read as follows :

8.22.20 Any student who has met the requirements for two different bachelors degrees will be granted both degrees and will be issued two diplomas.

This amendment deletes the requirement of an additional 30 hours of credit beyond the credits required for one degree.

Background

The possibility of deleting the extra 30-credit requirement was introduced to the Curricular Affairs Committee during the 1999-00 academic year. At that time members of the CAC were encouraged to discuss this possible change with their colleagues.

This fall, the Enrollment Services Advisory Committee recommended to the Faculty Senate Executive Committee that section 8.22.20 be amended. This recommendation was forwarded to both the Academic Standards and Calendar Committee and the Curricular Affairs Committee.

The Academic Standards and Calendar Committee unanimously approved the amendment to 8.22.20 at their November 2, 2000 meeting. On November 15, 2000, the faculty of the College of Business Administration, and on November 30, 2000, the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences, also voted to approve the amendment. The Curricular Affairs Committee considered the proposal on December 11, 2000 and voted to bring the recommendation forward to the Faculty Senate for approval.
