70 BOARD O F TRUSTEES [September 20 Revision of the Cooperative Education Program, College of Business Administration, Chicago T h e University Center Senate has approved a proposal by the College of Business Administration which calls for: (1) establishing a Business Administration rubric (BA) and two new required courses under the rubric — BA 289, Cooperative Business Education (off-campus) and BA 290, Cooperative Business Education (on-campus) ; and (2) dropping the current Cooperative Education course which is cross-listed as Accounting 289, Economics 289, Finance 289, Management 289, Marketing 289, and Quantitative Methods 289. T h e proposed revisions result in a structural change that permits more efficient administration of the Cooperative Education program and better monitoring of students enrolled in it. Revision of the Criteria for Graduation with Academic Honors, College of Education, Chicago T h e University Center Senate has approved a revision of the criteria for Graduation with Academic Honors and the establishment of a new award, Graduation with High Honors, proposed by the College of Education. The revision of Graduation with Academic Honors calls for the addition of two new criteria: a minimum grade-point average of 4.50 and inclusion on the Dean's List for three quarters before the quarter of graduation. These changes bring the college's policy closer to the requirements of other colleges and units within the University, and will ensure that students graduating with College Honors demonstrate a consistent pattern of academic excellence. The purpose of the new award, Graduation with High Honors, is to recognize students for outstanding academic achievement, as well as to encourage them to undertake independent research or service projects with College of Education faculty. The requirements for High Honors are consistent with those of other colleges and units of the University. Revision of the Minor in Judaic Studies, Chicago T h e University Center Senate has approved the following revisions in the Minor in Judaic Studies: (1) eliminating the language requirement (Hebrew 101106); (2) establishing a 12-hour Hebrew Language option for the minor; and (3) increasing the number of hours required for the minor from 27 to 32. T h e Judaic Studies Program considers as excessive the two-year Hebrew language requirement above and beyond the 27 hours needed for the minor. As a replacement, the program proposes a 12-hour option (Hebrew 101-103) that may be taken as part of the minor. T h e increase in hours for the minor is consistent with the elimination of the Hebrew language requirement and allows students to distribute their courses over the five areas of Hebraic study: the Bible, Jewish History, Jewish Thought, Rabbinic Literature, and Hebrew Literature. Revision of the Exercise Physiology Specialization, Master of Science in Physical Education, Chicago T h e University Center Senate has approved the following changes to the Exercise Physiology Specialization of the M.S. in Physical Education: (1) redesignating the specialization from Exercise Physiology to Exercise Science; and (2) establishing two options under this specialization, Exercise Physiology and Adult/Corporate Fitness. T h e purpose of the change in name to Exercise Science and the formation of the two options within the specialization is to clarify the two major thrusts of the program. The restructuring allows the Department of Physical Education to identify and accommodate two groups of students, those who are interested in theory and
