FLGI met every other week, starting in September 2007; what follows is our report to the Faculty Senate. Original Requirement and Charge to FLGI The original requirement, as approved by Faculty Senate is 1. The Faculty Senate recommends either a foreign language or a global issues requirement be instituted for all students. 2. The requirement in motion #1 will be imposed as a graduation requirement. 3. Each department (or supervisory body for majors outside of departments) will institute the foreign language/global issues requirement for its majors under guidelines that will be approved by Faculty Senate. 4. Departments (or supervisory bodies for majors outside of departments) can specify how the foreign language/global issues requirement will be met from among the following options: a. Successful completion of an intermediate foreign language requirement or demonstration of equivalent proficiency. b. Take a General Education course that is designated as GI. Appropriate courses will be determined by the Council on General Education with input from the Council for International Education. c. Take a (300-level or higher) course in the major, or in another department, that is designated and approved as GI by a council or committee delegated to do so by Faculty Senate. d. Participation in a study abroad program of sufficient length and breadth as approved by Faculty Senate. The charge of FLGI is to determine the definition of global issues, develop timelines for implementation of the FLGI requirement, operationalize 4.a., b., and c. of the requirement and make recommendations for 4.d., develop procedures for implementation of the requirement through coordination with CGE, CIE, the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures, and the Center for International Studies, and create criteria for approval of departmental implementation plans. Global Issues Through the courses in Global Issues, students will understand how the actions of groups and individuals have an impact on other groups and individuals. The goals of a Global Issues course will be threefold: 1) understand that the world is a system of interconnected countries and cultures; 2) understand that our actions impact other regions of the world; and 3) develop an appreciation of global diversity and a critically informed perspective of the points of view of others. Courses in Global Issues will enable students to Discover how different forces (political, geographical, and historical) have shaped the development of different cultures. Compare and contrast different countries/cultures/societies. Recognize the interdependence of countries/cultures/societies. Understand ones self and ones own culture through contact with ideas from other countries/cultures/societies. Gain new proficiencies and skills to navigate unfamiliar cultures and situations. Appreciate diversity within relationships, organizations, and societies. Standing Committee/Council Recommendation FLGI recommends the assignment of the following responsibilities be made to a standing committee. This committee/council may be a newly created one, or may be one already in existence. The Council on International Education (CIE) has volunteered to take on these responsibilities and it is the recommendation of FLGI that they be given that assignment. Hereafter, CIE will be used when the standing committee/council must be referred to. Operationalization of the Foreign Language option A Foreign Language is defined as any natural language different from an individuals native language. Operationally, this will be defined as any language taught or recognized by the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures. An intermediate foreign language requirement [i.e. proficiency] or demonstration of equivalent proficiency will be determined as follows: By completion of 3 years of high school language study with an average grade of C or better. By passing an appropriate test to be acquired or developed by the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures at ϲʷ¼. By completion, with an average grade of C or better, of three semesters of university-level courses in a single language starting at beginner level (e.g. SPAN121, SPAN122, SPAN223) at ϲʷ¼, or its equivalent through another university, college, high school, placement, or any combination thereof. An international student whose native language is not English and who has been admitted to ϲʷ¼ will be deemed to have satisfied the language requirement by satisfying ϲʷ¼s admission requirements for English language proficiency. In cases not covered by the above or in cases of dispute or disagreement, the issue will be resolved by CIE. Operationalization of the General Education Option The General Education option allows a department or program to permit their students to meet the FLGI requirement by taking a designated course in General Education. To do this, courses must first be approved by the Council on Curricular Programs and Instruction (CCPI) and also be accepted as part of General Education by the Council on General Education (CGE). Departments wishing to have one of their General Education courses designated as a FLGI course must fill out the appropriate form (see Section XII) and submit it to CIE. For the purposes of approval or denial of such courses, we recommend that CIE follow the same general approval process as CGE follows for approving courses for General Education. Operationalization of the Major course option The Major course option allows a department or program to specify a 300-level or higher course in the major as satisfying the FLGI requirement. To do this, courses must first be approved by CCPI or already be in existence. Department Chairs or Program Directors must fill out the appropriate form (see Section XII) and submit it to CIE. For the purposes of approval or denial of such courses, we recommend that CIE follow the same general approval process as CGE follows for approving courses for General Education. Recommendations for the Study Abroad option Study Abroad programs are available in two different ways: those that are for credit, and those that are not. For those programs that are for credit, the credit awarded upon successful completion of the program must be equivalent to one course. We recommend this be interpreted as at least 3 credit hours. We also recommend the minimum duration of such programs be four weeks. All programs meeting these minimum requirements shall be approved and not need re-approval in succeeding years. Programs of lesser credit or a shorter duration may apply to CIE for an exception. For non-credit programs, we recommend that such programs must receive prior approval from CIE before being permitted to meet the FLGI requirement. Department or Program Responsibilities Each department or program will be required to decide on which (or which combination) of the four alternatives best fits its program(s); it must then make this choice known to CIE. If the department or program chooses the Major Course option, this course must be approved as a Global Issues course by CIE. If the department or program chooses the Study Abroad option only, it must demonstrate that this option provides sufficient opportunities to meet the needs of all of its majors. If the department or program chooses the Foreign Language or General Education option, no further action is required. Timelines We recommend the following timelines for the implementation of this requirement: Fall 2008 Semester CIE given the task of notifying department chairs and program directors of the policies and procedures involving the FLGI requirement. Departments and programs decide which option(s) best fit their majors. Departments apply for FLGI designation for their General Education course(s) as well as their upper division in-the-major courses. Department chairs and program directors may begin applying to CIE for which options will be available for their students. Spring 2009 Departments and programs continue the process of selecting courses and options for their students. CIE sends out reminders to all departments and programs not yet selecting options. Fall 2009 The FLGI requirement goes into effect as a Graduation Requirement for all students. Should a department or program fail to formally select an option for its students by Fall 2009, all options shall be available to those students. CIE should ensure there is an ample offering of FLGI-designated courses to meet the demand before the requirement is enforced. Resource Implications Once implemented, these requirements may place a burden on certain bodies to monitor and enforce them. We recommend that the University make available appropriate financial and other resources to the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures and other relevant University bodies to enable this requirement when required.
