   2. Committee members discussed the relationship between the requests for Milwaukee Idea II proposals and DINs. There is a great deal of confusion about how these two are linked. Members asked the Chair to request clarification from Dean Goodman.
      
   3. The proposal for a School of Journalism and Media Studies was discussed. Committee members agreed that they were satisfied with the proposal regarding its academic aspects, but they feel they cannot make a recommendation without clarification of the following items:
      
      • budgetary implications of a school within a college;
        
      • a working definition of a school within a college.
        
      The chair will contact Dean Goodman regarding these questions.
