Honors - Course deletions for The Hero in a Thousand Places - Hnrs DV 3120, Human, Machine, and Natural Computation - Hnrs 3130, Senior Thesis/Project Research - Hnrs 4800; and the program change for Honors.

The Hero in a Thousand Places was offered two different semesters but was dropped because of lack of enrollment. Questions were raised about deleting the Senior Thesis/Project Research - Hnrs 4800. Dr. Mondi felt that students were receiving three hours of credit for coming up with a research topic, but not actually doing much work on the project. In many cases students are being awarded three hours of credit for very little work actually done. They propose replacing the 4800 course with a Directed Readings option during the fall semester to explore areas of interest in preparation for the writing of the thesis the following semester. Honors Senior Thesis/Project - Hnrs 4990 is still in place for students to receive credit for the research projects.

Motion: Moved to approve from Honors the course deletions for The Hero in a Thousand Places - Hnrs DV 3120, Human, Machine, and Natural Computation - Hnrs 3130, Senior Thesis/Project Research - Hnrs 4800; and the program change for Honors.

The Faculty Senate Constitution states:

In the March Faculty Senate meeting the revisions will be presented again with a motion to recommend the changes to the faculty. A general election will then be held by ballot, according to the above procedure in Article III, in which three-fifths of the faculty (3/5 of the faculty that vote) will need to approve the changes before they become effective.

6.  PRESIDENT THOMPSON

President Thompson was asked to comment on the University’s position regarding guns in the classroom. The presidents of the state institutions meet with members of the legislature. The law to allow guns on college campuses only deals with those who have a concealed weapon’s permit. Therefore, Weber State’s policy that states guns are not allowed on campus would remain in place as it relates to all other guns.

7.  ELECTIONS

Elections for the Executive Committee will be held on Tuesday, March 5 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. in the Smith Auditorium of the Wattis Business Building.

ADJOURN
