COMMUNICATION ITEM
BUSINESS ITEMS

The Follow-up items appended were approved. The language exemption request for
Parks, Tourism and Recreation Management was not approved. It did not meet the
credit requirement. The Committee briefly discussed the program modifications for
PTRM and RSCN. These were made to allow students the option of the exemption
by adding additional course work. ASCRC delayed action on the forms until after the
General Education Committee voted on the language exemptions.

The Assessment Subcommittee met before the break with 7 natural science or
mathematics faculty who have volunteered to participate in the pilot this semester.
There will be another meeting early February to review assessment plans which will
likely involve questions on the mid-term or final exam.

The revised General Education Review Form will be sent again for feedback.

The revised general education language exemption section (appended) was briefly
reviewed as well. It will go to ASCRC and the Senate as information.
ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned at 5:00 p.m.
