President's Report on Actions of the Senates Establishment of Additional Course Rubrics, College of Education, Chicago (8) The Chicago Senate approved the establishment of four additional course rubrics for 300- and 400-level courses in the College of Education. The four new rubrics are: (1) Curriculm, Instruction, and Evaluation ( C I E ) ; (2) Educational Psychology (EPsy); (3) Policy Studies ( P S ) ; and (4) Special Education (SpEd). When the College of Education was established in 1965, it offered only one degree, the Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education, with all of its courses listed under one rubric, Education (Ed). Since 1965 the college has expanded programmatically and now offers two baccalaureate degrees, a Master of Education degree with seven concentrations, and three Ph.D. degrees. This growth has exhausted all available course numbers under the Education (Ed) rubric. In order to alleviate this problem and to allow the college to develop additional 300- and 400-level courses, the four new rubrics are proposed. These more descriptive rubrics parallel the instructional content areas of the college and will benefit students by providing potential employers and state certifying agencies with a clearer and more informative coursework record. Revision of the Degree Requirements, Master of Science in Physical Education, Chicago The Chicago Senate has approved the following revisions to the degree requirements for the Master of Science in Physical Education: (1) N o credit is counted toward the degree if a student receives a grade of D in any physical 1 Fellows in the center are nominated by their department heads and selected on the recommendation of an advisory selection committee for one-semester appointments.
