Invitees: Nancy Lough
Other: Alice Corkill (Chair: Educational

Nancy presented the history of the
proposal and its timing
Discusses that diversity is woven
throughout the program and not just in a course
Question from Christine, is this
focused on coaches only?
Response:
no, it is an aspect only
Question from Doris: Why not include
a specific course on diversity
Response>
it was decided to not have a focus-only course and to do it throughout the
curriculum
Greg: Discussion from last mtg was
about whether faculty voted on this proposal as in curriculog, or something
else
Response:
it is slightly different, there are some changes that were done in working with
Gail to change ideas/phrasing for the board alone – no Curriculum changes
Christine:
Why not have a foundational course and also interweaven throughout
Response: Confused as to why this
committee is looking so specifically at the curriculum, that should be the
faculty teaching it
Christine:
this committee has reviewed proposals like this before
Greg:
concurring, this is the role of the committee
Response: Some amount of frustration
due to concerns being raised by a member of her dept that also sits on this
committee
Motion
passes with complete support: 15-0.
