SCHEDULE
CONFLICT
There was discussion regarding a possible scheduling conflict between BPC and
IEC meetings. After further discussion and review of the meeting dates it was determined that currently there is no conflict; however, the committees may need to re-evaluate schedules in the spring.
In preparation for the ACCJC visiting team Dr. Goswami suggested that committee members familiarize themselves with Standard III D and how it ties into the functions of the committee. He also stated that it’s important to understand the current and future budget situation.
Discussion continued regarding the ACCJC visit and appropriate responses to questions from the team were considered. In general committee members agreed that it’s best to keep responses positive and honest and if you don’t know the answer it’s OK to refer to someone who does.
