ANT 430 Advanced Archaeology 3

ISC 251 Foundations of Formal Systems Thinking 3

POL 369 Terrorism and Political Violence 3

The UCC spreadsheet on the web at http://www.oswego.edu/ucc has been updated. Please remind department chairs, department secretaries, and department curriculum committee chairs to use the new downloadable form and to submit course proposals electronically.

Sexual Harassment and Consensual Relationships Taskforce has met five times since the Faculty Assembly resolution on April 5th, 2004. The Taskforce spent most of their time on the first three charges that they were given, and they are very close to finalizing a document to bring back to FA. The group decided to separate the sexual harassment policy from the consensual relationship policy, so the Assembly will see two documents when the taskforce reports out. They will meet again on October 15.

The College Hour Task Force met September 27th, 2004 to get organized. They are working on creating a survey, which will allow all departments to express their concerns with the College Hour.
