This will be done next time, this still needs work done on it, the course that they are reducing hours is not a course that can stand to have hours reduced.  Dr. Cronan will pull the syllabus and work on it.  Dawn Florea will be here at the March meeting to explain changes.  Discussion was held about people to watch over program and it was suggested to ask Bill Horne to do this.  Jon Davidson also volunteered to help Dawn.  Changes need to be done by spring quarter.

Tabled – Dr. Cronan wants to put them in one at a time, it still needs work.

 

D.                 Discussion was held for information purposes about the Pre-entrance exam for          A D N students.  They are going to accept a composite score on the psychology Corp. exam of the 50th percentile instead of requiring a 50th percentile on each individual area.  Concern was voiced that the change made into the catalog that will come out in the next year.
