OU Undergraduate Student Congress passes bill to gauge interest in potential new academic minors

Undergraduate Student Congress

Representatives Emily Mee and Daniel Pham talk about "A Concurring Resolution Addressing Vandalism and Hate Speech" Nov. 1.

 A bill that would send students a survey to determine interest in adding 13 new academic minors to OU's curricula was passed in the Undergraduate Student Congress meeting Nov. 1. 

The bill, written by international security studies senior David Monlux, includes Brazilian, Mexican or Italian studies, Buddhist, Hindu, Christian and Islamic studies, third parties/election history, conservative studies, world justice systems, conspiracy theories, rock and roll and Oklahoma studies. 

Monlux said the classes required for the new minors are already offered at OU and that the cost to the university would only come from academic upkeep. 

The bill will be seen in the Graduate Student Senate Nov. 6 and, if it passes, the survey will be sent to students in accordance with the SGA elections Nov. 8 and 9, Monlux said.
