  1. Notes from Deborah Haddad
    1. Departments should consider creating upper level GECs and explore the idea of dual status such as Social Science and Diversity
  2. Thanks to James Pampush – student representative, graduating this quarter
    1. Committee will need a new undergrad rep, consider an Econ or Poli Sci major

 

  1. Committee representative term limits – consider how departments handle these

 

  1. McHale
    1. Gene passed out “equivalencies of proposals” information -  add back vs. drop a GEC
    2. Should it be “courses outside major” or “add back across 2 categories”?
    3. “courses outside major” may be confusing for majors with no clear Breadth area home
