2.Welcome New Members
Steve welcomed the new members to the Committee. After some discussion it was determined that the Committee would entertain student recommendations from Committee members. It has been very difficult to enlist students to participate on this committee. Steve also announced that Therese Eyermann would be retiring from the Committee due to other priorities in the President’s Office. After some debate, it was recommended that Debra Wylie or designee from OPC participate on the Committee, thus giving awareness of resource issues concerning upcoming degrees. Steve Lefevre agreed to take this matter up with the Provost.
A few minutes were given to explain the difference between “state-side” funding vs. “Extended Education” funding by Gary Berg.
