I forgot (hey, I'm old) the 3 s.h. business law course that is offered
by the Accounting Dept. It is taught by an adjunct with a J.D. is taken
almost exclusively by students sitting for the C.P.A.
From....let me think, oh yeah, Nancy

At Richard Stockton College of NJ, all of our courses are 4-credit. We
have a required LEgal Environment course in our undergrad business
major, 4-credits, taught by three full-time tenured faculty (me and two
others)--usually several sections a semester; when we need more, we
hired adjuncts. We also offer a 4-credit Business Law Course which we
recommend for Accounting Majors only, as better prerequisite to our
"advanced" Business Law Courses (two of them, each two-credits)--we
offer them less frequently.


At MBA level, there are no required PLAW courses, although we have been
trying to offer an elective (3 credit, as our grad courses are all
3-credit)--unfortunately, so far we've not had sufficient enrollment for
course to go.

        Fresno State's "legal environment" course is 4 units for the
semester.
        We don't have an undergraduate business ethics course, but the
MBA
        course has been taught by JDs, tho I understand that a
management PhD
        taught a section in one of the MBA programs last semester (we
have at
        least 2 MBA programs, maybe 3). We incorporate some business
ethics into
        the 4-unit undergraduate course.

        The support for your position might include an analysis of your
business
        curriculum for legal aspects that should be covered. If your
dean or
        faculty want to cut back from 3 units to 2, you could present
your list
        of legal aspects to all departments and ask each which should be
        deleted.  Yours, JDR.
