The Chairman reported that within the past week the secretary in the office
of the Senate Council had been verbally attacked for Council business, that
neither he nor the Senate Council appreciated such tactics and that in the future
the faculty should restrain themselves and if they disagreed in any way with
Senate Council actions they were to vent their disagreements with him, as
Chairman, not the office secretary.

The Chairman stated that the primary item of business would be the degree
proposals from the College of Arts and Sciences; that it had been determined
as a matter of courtesy to forward any action on the College's proposals, if
amended by the Senate, back to the College for its concurrence. He stated
further that the College had requested that the two proposals — the proposal
creating a new degree which involves a recommendation on the part of the
Senate to the Board of Trustees — and the changes for the Bachelor of Arts and
Bachelor of Science degrees on which final action is taken by the Senate —
be lumped together in one total package for voting purposes. He reported that
this would need a waiver of the Rules, concurred in by the Parliamentarian.

By the required two—thirds vote the Senate voted to approve a waiver of the
Rules in order to consider the Bachelor of General Studies and the Bachelor
of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees in one package. The vote was 81 to 17.

The official position of the Senate Council on the proposal from the College
of Arts and Sciences to establish the new degree and to change the existing
degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science was handed to the Senators
as they entered the meeting. This document is dated April 7, 1972.

3328 Minutes of the University Senate, April 10, 1972 — cont

The Chairman then called on the Secretary, Senate Council, who presented

a motion on the behalf of the Senate Council to approve the Arts and
Sciences proposal for the degree of Bachelor of General Studies, Bachelor
of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees contingent upon the inclusion

of the University's English and General Studies requirements in each de—
gree program, with the following two recommendations (which are applicable
to the Bachelor of General Studies only):

(1) that the 2.3 requirement for admission into the experimental
program, BGS, be specifically evaluated in terms of its merits;

(2) that it be recommended to the administration of the College of
Arts and Sciences that the BGS program receive as much careful ad—
vising as possible.

‘The Chairman announced that the proposals would be considered in order —
first, the Bachelor of General Studies degree, followed by the Bachelor
of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees.

Motion was made to amend the motion to strike the phrase ”. . .con—
tingent upon the inclusion of the University's English and General Studies
requirements in each degree program . . .". A Senator offered a friendly
amendment to the amendment to strike the ”University's . . . General
Studies requirement” and to retain the English requirement. The proposer
and seconder of the amendment were agreeable to this change and it then
became the amendment on the floor.

Motion was then made to divide the proposed amendment and vote first
on whether or not to include the General Studies requirement in the Bachelor
of General Studies degree, to be followed by a vote on whether or not to
include the General Studies requirement in the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor
of Science degrees. The Chairman accepted this proposed division of the
amendment subject to Senate approval which was given tacitly. The Senate
then approved the motion for division.

Following debate the Senate approved a vote for cloture. The Senate then
voted to eliminate the University's requirement of five of the eight
General Studies in the Bachelor of General Studies degree.

After some additional remarks from the floor the Senate voted to retain the
University's General Studies requirement of five of the eight areas for the
Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees. The vote was 60 to 40.

Motion was made to delete the 2.3 requirement from the Bachelor of
General Studies degree. In discussion which followed tacit agreement was
reached to substitute "in good standing" meaning not on probation. The
Senate then approved the motion to delete the 2.3 requirement from that

degree and to substitute "in good standing (not on probation)". The vote
was 80 to 36.

As the result of extended discussion on the floor relative to advising
in the proposed BGS program motion was made that the statement circulated
under the Undergraduate Council's report contained in the proposal dated

March 30, 1972, be approved for inclusion in the Bachelor of General Studies
degree program. This statement reads as follows:

Motion was made to amend the original proposal, as amended, to delete
the mathematics and language requirements from the Bachelor of Arts and
Bachelor of Science degree proposals. Attention was called to the fact
that these were two separate requirements in the BASIC SKILLS portion of
the proposed degree program and should be considered separately. The
Chairman ruled for separate consideration. The ruling by the Chair was
appealed and the Senate voted to uphold the ruling by the Chair.

The first consideration was the foreign language requirement.

Following lengthy debate the Senate voted to retain paragraph b. (the

foreign language requirement) in the BASIC SKILLS portion of the Bachelor
of Arts and Bachelor of Science degree proposals.

The second consideration was the mathematics requirement.

Requirements for the degree

The Bachelor of General Studies is to be an experimental program
of the College of Arts and Sciences. Students who qualify may elect
to participate in this program until June 1, 1980, but no one may
enter the experimental program after that date.

A student may enter the Bachelor of General Studies program upon
the completion of at least thirty credits in good standing (not on 2 ;
probation). In order to receive the Bachelor of General Studies degree I ,
the student must complete at least 30 hours of credit after officially
entering the Bachelor of General Studies degree program. The
University requirements for English Composition must be satisfied.
Each student in this program shall file a program of study with his

}

In the final semester of the degree program, at a time and mode
mutually agreeable to the student and his advisor, the student will
communicate to his advisor the results, benefits, and values of his
work in a way that demonstrates the cohesive character of his indivi—
dual program. Since these communications constitute an integral por—
tion of the data output of this program, they must be made in some
durable medium (e.g. the written word, photographs, magnetic tape).

‘ The degree is awarded upon the completion of at least 120 credits ;
I or equivalents, 45 of which must be in courses at or above the 300 3
‘ level, and 90 of which must be in the College of Arts and Sciences. “3

To facilitate the innovative features of this program, and
acknowledging the opportunity for general studies so afforded, the
University requirements for General Studies are waived.

7 In the fall of 1978 the Dean of the College will appoint a
committee to evaluate the program and report its recommendations
by January 1980. The Faculty will then decide whether the Bachelor

of General Studies should become a permanent offering of the College.

It is recommended to the administration of the College of Arts and Sciences
that the BGS program receive as much careful advising as possible.
