USP requirements may change for fall 2009

By Jill Lester

liicoiiiilig freshmen iii 2009
would lime to complete a set of geri-
eral-educatioii requirements that is a
“radical departure" from the current
L'niversity Studies Program under a
proposal that will be released to the
public this week.

A draft proposal gi\eli to deans
Aug. in recommends requiring 30
credit hours of courses that. with few
exceptions. students will not be able
to rise pre~maior or mayor credits to
complete.

The main element of the proposed
freshman requirements is a series of
six one-credit hour courses. each from

quiry Students would take two cours
es from each of the three categories.

Instead of lasting the fill] seines
tei‘. each one-hour course would take
fiye weeks. and freshmen will register
for three each semester. Each course
would contain about 75 to I00 stuv
dents. according to the draft proposal.

The proposal stresses that Foun-
datloris of Inquiry courses should em-
phasi/e the research process rather
than specific facts.

"Simply put. it is time recogni/e

that knowing lion to ft‘tlI'H iiml think i

adding that “those numbers are really
soft at this point.”

The (‘ommunity of Learners re-
quirements would also include a two-

In previous years. the competition

Recycling only one can saves

“It's going to be preserving what‘s good about
UK 101 but adding more.“ Kraemer said.

The rest of the proposed freshman require
ments consist of a four-hour writing course and a
three-hour statistical reasoning course.

The Community of Citizens requirements.
which students would be able to complete anytime
before graduation. deal mostly with preparing stu-
dents to function in a global society.

"Students must be prepared for the responsibil-
ities of citizenship just as they are prepared for
professions.“ the proposal says.

Under the proposed requirements. students
would have to take three five-week. one-hour
courses dealing with ethical dilemmas.

“Our intention is not to offer a moral code for
our students: it is to help these students identify
ethical issues and think about them, not least by
seeing faculty members wrestle with them." the
proposal says.

In another part of the Community of Citizens
requirements. students would be required to com-
plete a capstone project. such as a research thesis,
performance or portfolio. before graduation. The
capstone would fulfill three credit hours.

The proposed requirements also contain a
three-hour course each on US. culture and global
perspectives. along with a three~hour advanced
writing course.

The proposed changes. which would not affect
current students. are far-reaching because the cur-
rent USP requirements are outdated. said Univer-
sity Senate Council Chairman Kaveh Tagavi.

“(The requirements have) not been worked on
in 20. 30 years." Tagavi said. “Certainly some—
thing that was perfect 20. 30 years ago would not
be perfect now."

The proposal will be posted on UK‘s Web site
sometime this week. Kraemer said. The only dif-
ferences between this week's version and the Aug.
to draft will be in wording. not substance. he said.

At the earliest, the Senate will vote on the pro—
posed requirements in December. after holding
public forums in October and debating the plan
within the Senate in November. Tagavi said. If the
proposal is approved in December. the Senate
would form committees to ready the new require-
ments by the start of the 2009-10 school year.

The proposal suggests offering some one-hour
Foundations of inquiry courses “on a pilot basis"
in fall 2008 that students can take to satisfy cur«
rent USP requirements.

More full-time faculty would teach general-
education courses under the proposed require-
ments. Kraemer said.

“We want faculty from across the university,"
he said. “it allows opportunities for everyone to
teach.“

The proposed requirements would provide a
coherent undergraduate program that immerses
students in the liberal arts. Kraemer said.

“We aren‘t a vocational school." he said,
“You've got to be trained. and you've got to be
educated."

UK will ask faculty for their opinions on the
current USP requirements and the draft proposal
at forums later this month. after the draft‘s public
release, Kraemer said.

Student Government will probably hold two
student forums in the Student Center. although
dates have not been decided yet. SG President
Nick Phelps said.

The University Senate meeting in November
will allow faculty members to discuss their con—
cerns or suggestions for the new USP courses.
Tagavi said the meeting would be mostly dedicat-
ed to discussing the new requirements.

“Certainly this is important. if not the most
important issue." he said.

meet these goals. You‘re
supposed to be a top-20 re-
search institution by
2020.’ " Beshear said. “But
with the other hand, state
government has pulled back
the financial support for the
university to meet those
goals. So the university has
done what it could with the
few areas where it can raise
money."

“That's why you've seen
the tuition and room and
board continue to ratchet
upward." he added.

Beshear promised to
raise higher-education fund-
ing if he is elected govemor.

“We‘re going to fund the
universities better. so they
can reach those goals and
start holding those tuition
rates down." he said.

Beshear's support for
the top—20 plan made a posi-
tive impression on Nick Di-
mengo. an English senior.

“It seems like he’s dedi-
cated to help out the univer-
sity and fund the university
as best as he can." Dimengo
said.

The issue of legalizing
gaming has been a hot topic
in the campaign. and

Beshear. who supports plac-
ing the issue on the ballot.
said gaming would raise an
extra $500 million in tax
dollars for the state. Ken-
tuckians currently spend $1
billion on gaming entertain~
ment in other states. Beshear
said.

“My argument is. if
Kentuckians are going to
spend that money anyway
on that kind of entertain-
ment. let's get them to spend
it here." Beshear said. "so
that we can use the money
to educate our children.
pave our roads and lower
our health-care costs."

Beshear said he will con-
sider putting a ban on any in-
crease in tuition if the gam—
ing amendment is passed.

Beshear was the only
speaker at the forum. as
Fletcher was unable to at-
tend because of scheduling
conflicts. a spokesman for
the governor said Sept. 26.

Fletcher‘s absence hurt
his image. said English and
political science senior
Meghan Arrell.

“He wasn't here four
years ago either. but at least
he sent a representative
then." she said. “I couldn‘t
believe that no one was here
from his party. I think it just
looks bad. It shows that he
doesn't care."

sues. including the humane handling
of animal agriculture.

Ruth Newberry. an animal sci-
ence professor at Washington State
University. will describe the treat-
ment of farm animals from the ani-
mals‘ perspective.

At 5 p.m.. following a round-
table discussion, students and faculty
can attend a reception held at Good
Barn across from Commonwealth
Stadium.

“The reception is a casual time
to interact with speakers." Harmon
said.

The event will continue tomor-
row at 8 am. with a student forum at
Good Barn moderated by Keith
Schillo. an associate professor in the
animal science department.

Candace Croney. an animal sci—
ence professor at Oregon State Uni—
versity. will speak following the fo-
rum at the auditorium in the Plant
Science Building. located on Farm
Road. Her presentation will illustrate
how animal welfare can be integrat-
ed into academic programs.

“Animal welfare has become
more and more of an academic pur-
suit.“ Harmon said.

The symposium will end with an
event at 10:30 am. tomorrow with
an open forum discussion that Har-
mon will moderate. The symposium
is free and open to the public.

 

 

if Mythoften dominates cancer 'kncWIedge'

By Judy Pere_s
Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — On the eve of
National Breast Cancer Aware-
ness Month. a new survey sug-
gests raising awareness of the
disease is a misplaced priority.

The vast majority of women
already consider themselves
quite knowledgeable about the
disease. But their “knowledge"
often includes more myth than
fact. the survey found.

“We‘re surrounded by pink
ribbons and other messages
about raising awareness." said
Fran Visco. president of the Na-
tional Breast Cancer Coalition.

which commissioned the survey.

Dr. David 6. Hunter

lst holder ofthe Cottrill—Rolfes Chair in Catholic Studies at
the University of Kentucky

Dr. Hunter will examine recent theories of the origins of priestiy
celibacy in the Catholic Church. He will discuss the views of those
scholars who claim that this tradition has apostolic origins, as well as

     
   
   
   
    
   
  
    
   

“But these popular efforts lull the
public into a false sense that ade—
quate progress is being made.

One “stunning" example.
she said. is that people still be-
lieve heredity is the cause of the
majority of breast cancer cases.
although in reality only 5 per-
cent to 10 percent of breast can-
ccr is caused by genetic muta-
tions that can be inherited.

“Women need to understand
that just because they don‘t have
a family history. that doesn‘t
mean they‘re not at risk.“ Visco
said.

The survey. which is being
released Monday. the first day of

Month. also found that 7 out of
10 women believe eating
enough fruits and vegetables can
help prevent breast cancer. In re—
ality. there‘s no good evidence
that is true.

The majority of all women
(and nearly two-thirds of those
age 18 to 24) believe breast can—
cer can be prevented. In reality.
there are only a few things
women can do to reduce (but
not eliminate) the risk of devel-
oping the discase. such as not
drinking alcohol and not taking
hormones. The biggest risk fac-
tors are being female and getting
older.

Hunter will then present his own interpretation of the origins and
development of the celibacy requirement in the Catholic Giurch.
