A. New Business

1. Motion from the Academic Policy Committee (Mr. Witt).

First reading.

THAT THE FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES BE AUTHORIZED TO REQUIRE 128 CREDITS FOR THE B.S. DEGREE IN HEALTH SCIENCES WITH MAJORS IN MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY, ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH TECHNOLOGY, MEDICAL PHYSICS AND THAT THE GENERAL EDUCATION COMPONENT OF THE HEALTH SCIENCES PROGRAMS BE NOT LESS THAN 24 CREDITS, OF WHICH NOT MORE THAN 8 CREDITS IN LEARNING SKILLS COURSES MAY BE PRESENTED.

Comment: The Assembly of the College of Arts and Sciences has approved programs in Medical Technology, 'Environmental Health Technology, and Medical Physics which require minimally 128 credits for the 3.3. degree of which 24 credits must be in General Education. The College is authorized to offer a B.S. degree,, but at 124 credits, with the same general education requirement as the B.A. degree. It is impossible to fit the Health Science programs within those limitations because of the professional nature of the programs and accreditation constraints. Hence, the present motion. Further, it is understood that the Assembly of Arts and Sciences approved these programs on a temporary basis, recognizing that at some time in the future it may be necessary to locate them in some. academic unit other than the College.

2. Resolution from the Academic Policy Committee (Mr. Witt).

BE IT RESOLVED: THAT THE UNIVERSITY SENATE HEREBY ENCOURAGE THE CONTINUED PLANNING OF A BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN NURSING PROGRAM WITH THE AIM OF IMPLEMENTATION IN THE 1974 FALL SEMESTER.

Comment: It is understood that the proposed program would not be implemented until the University Senate, having seen a five-year budget and an outline of the instructional program, has given its approval. Discussions are underway with Providence Hospital officials concerning use of their clinical facilities in the initial stages of the program. Officials of Providence Hospital are providing consultation in the preliminary planning.
