The April 5, 2002 minutes were approved on a John Washbush/Jim Butchart motion.

Dick Telfer announced that Dan Edlebeck was not able to attend the meeting, but wished to address to concerns.

1. Item 9 of the agenda may require the Art department to do more curriculum proposals if the department/college will want the new courses to count in certain active majors/minors.,  and

2.  Students who are already in the Occupational Safety plan who want the new degree will want to process plan (major) changes with the college so that the new degree will show on their academic records.  Approving the change from BSE to BS does not automatically adjust the student records.
