Agenda of the Educational Policies Council (EPC)
DATE:

There will be no in-person meeting held for either graduate or undergraduate council in August.
There is, however, an agenda of information and lesser action items and list of course changes for
both councils. These items will be transmitted through the EPC e-mail listserv, and any questions,
concerns or comments will be recorded through the listserv and answered accordingly.
If an EPC member wishes to elevate any of the items listed on this agenda to an action or discussion
item, please notify Therese Tillett, by Monday, 24 August 2015, to ensure that the item is added to
the agenda for the next EPC meeting.
All items on this agenda will be approved administratively and implemented if there are no
objections from EPC members by 24 August 2015.
