Discussion: There was concern from Mary Gallagher regarding writing an objective. Bill Gasper read a note from Ms. Gallagher stating to “write an objective to address a trend”.

It was agreed that the DDL will report to the VP of Academic Affairs and this will be updated in the matrix.
  3. A question related to single discipline departments, do they need to complete a department level program review? The committee agreed that they only complete one program review at the discipline level.
