Connie Jo announced that a proposal would be forthcoming from the Committee on Committees to merge the GPC with the Academic Policies and Appeals Committee and the Course and Curriculum Committee. For many years there have been too few Faculty members expressing a willingness to serve on L&S Committees to fill all the vacancies. The Committee on Committees hopes that combining committees will make it easier to staff those committees.
