Why must IMOI (Interdisciplinary Modes of Inquiry) Courses include material and/or faculty from all three divisions?
Two reasons: First, our goal was to foster interdisciplinary teaching and so requested the broadest range of integration. Second, as optional courses, they would substitute for a regular distribution course. If they did not contain material from all three substantive areas, they would satisfy distribution hours in only one or two of the three areas. Determining which area(s) each IMOI course fit into would be difficult precisely because the course material is, by definition, an integration of traditional academic disciplines. So, to have these courses count, it made sense to require all three components. Give an example of an IMOI course. Consider a course on Environmental Pollution that would include (1) biologically and chemically-based measures, estimates, coverage, etc.; (2) economics of pollution health costs and clean-up; (3) ethical and value issues associated with environmental public policies.
