  7. Other Business
    1. The Committee agreed to add an automatic consent item to the agenda - request for blanket approval of prerequisite changes to English courses affected by the elimination of the GER requirement that students complete English competency before they can attain junior standing. The only changes to the courses are the addition of "satisfaction of the GER English Composition competency req" and, for some, a clarification that "upper-division" refers to courses at the 300-level or above. There were no objections to these changes for the courses listed below; they are recommended to the dean for approval. The Committee noted that English 350-400 is jointly-offered with Linguistics. Approval is contingent upon submission of an equivalent change for Linguis 550-400.

      Add "satisfaction of GER English Composition competency req" to the prerequisites.
