Outcome: The motion passed unanimously contingent upon the justification for CS 2740 changing to CS 3040 is rewritten prior to the January 23 Faculty Senate meeting.

PROGRAM EMPHASES 
The Executive Committee discussed students seeking double majors such as Physics and Applied Physics. These two majors over lap many of the same courses. The English Department has several emphases available to students but many of their courses overlap. Is this a problem? Can more than one emphases be listed on the transcript? The double major or completing more than one emphasis in a program differ from students who desire a second bachelor degree. A second bachelor requires an additional thirty or more credit hours.

MOTION 
Michelle Heward: Moved to discuss with Winslow Hurst and forward to the ASSA Committee to see if under the new system departments are able to have each emphasis completed by a student listed on the transcript.
Second: Diane Kawamura
Outcome: The motion passed unanimously.
