The Committee agreed to this strategy.
      2. Members were asked if they found it workable to look up proposed program changes on the web site. Some members said they would prefer to have paper copies at the meeting if the proposed changes needed discussion. Members agreed they would notify Connie Jo in advance of the meeting if they wanted to discuss a proposal at the meeting.
      3. Jeff Merrick reported that the APCC GER Sub-Committee would be discussing two possible changes to the GERs:
        1. separation of GER and cultural diversity credit;
        2. altering the definition of cultural diversity, perhaps to mulitculturalism.
