Subject: UCC Informational Item for Email Review
Dear Committee members,
At this current time I do not have any items for a UCC agenda, however I have one item that the Registrar would like the committee to review as an informational item. At a previous UCC meeting the committee approved a terminology change for the university’s “Core” to “General Education.” Pursuant to that change the Registrar’s Office requested UCGE to consider renaming General Core Studies to remove the word core. General Core Studies is the header name for the J-3-d requirements which includes Integrated Studies, Humanities, Diversity, etc. On March 7th UCGE proposed renaming General Core Studies to Integral Studies. Attached is a document showing that change. There are no other changes to this regulation (J-3-d) being requested at this time.
Bahman Shafii, Chair of UCC has agreed to allow this item to be send around to the committee via email for committee members to comment and discuss before this proposed name change is sent onto Faculty Senate for their opportunity to review and comment.
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask Bahman and myself.
Thank you,
Charles Tibbals
