A discussion followed. Central in this discussion were the issues of inclusion in the

contact Emily Johnson to gauge her impression on the former issue and to obtain an
overview of the current “climate” regarding new Gen. Ed. offerings.

Applied Emphasis). Bruce Riley, Chair of the Mathematics Department, will
attend the next meeting of the Committee to discuss these proposals and answer
questions of its members.
