- New Business
- Faculty Meeting (April 6) - The Committee affirmed the change in the Faculty meeting date with no objections.
- Faculty Meeting Agenda - The inclusion of a request for an entitlement to plan a Master of Arts in Spanish was questioned because the Faculty already had voted to approve an implementation plan for that new degree. Connie explained that the original entitlement had expired. In addition, she could find no record that the first entitlement request was sent to and approved by the Faculty. To ensure that all appropriate actions have been taken, the Faculty will be asked to vote on the recreated (and somewhat revised) entitlement request. The Faculty meeting agenda was approved unanimously.
- Adjournment - The meeting was adjourned at 3:08 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Connie Jo, Assistant Dean
