Jane presented and discussed the possible changes to graduation requirements (Information Competency, Cultural Pluralism, Oral Communication, English 1A). Jane stated there will be a discussion during the Spring 2003 Flex Days at the all faculty forum with a pro and con microphone to discuss each of the four topics. Jane distributed an email presenting these topics and asking for volunteers to serve on a task force.
Jane also mentioned that she hopes in the Spring, CRC can devote some blocks of time to review curriculum and the logistics of how to tackle the huge task in front of us.
