by the student and that the written summary she gave the council did not
refer to the GI goals and objectives. She suggested the student try an
appeal for the World Religions course she took. Chandra expressed
concern that the work the student had done on the Bank of England did not
seem academic in nature. The council took a look at the assignments the
student submitted at the meeting. Emily also asked whether the Council
should consider her taking French in high school as the student presented;
there is also a World Religions course that she took. There was discussion
of whether the student meets the GI goals and objectives. New Council

program.

documented. Doug mentions that any travel will result in student learning.
