New Business

Elissa Wagner and Michelle Merrill brought before an informational item reguarding an Ecoliteracy Requirement for graduation. Similar to a Multicultural requirement, a student would not be required to take any additional courses but be able to "double-dip". A concern was expressed that there should be enough courses available before making it a requirement.

Sally Dauphin brought before the committee a proposal to make Intermediate Algebra a requirement for the AS degree effective Fall 08.

Items from the floor

An informational item was brought up by Mary Ellen Sullivan reguarding possible problems with degrees awarded by Cabrillo College. We were all tired and she will bring more information at the next meeting
