A. ACTION ITEMS

  1. Curricular Proposals – Allen Thompson, Curriculum Council Co-chair 
    • Business Analytics #106038 – New Degree Program Proposal
    • Communication MA, MS #99706 – New Degree Program Proposal
    • Environmental Sciences #99417 – OSU-Cascades Campus – New Degree Program
    • Undergraduate Certificate in CyberSecurity #105390 – New Certificate Program Proposal
    • Russian Studies Undergraduate Certificate #100119 – Termination of an Academic Program Proposal
      • CPS Proposal  
      • PDF Proposal
        • Justification: This proposal would terminate the Russian Studies Certificate, which can no longer be earned by students at OSU because the required coursework has not been offered for over 5 years and cannot be offered with existing resources. This is a direct effect of the administrative decision not to hire new faculty into two tenure lines left vacant by retirement in the past decade.
