paperwork for courses identified for deletion or suspension. A list has been distributed to
the deans which include the name of the course and the date the course was approved or
any action recorded on the course outline. The deadline to submit the list to the Student
Learning Office is May 1. All courses identified for deletion or suspension will be put on
the agenda for the May 8 meeting for action.

Co-chair Jim Merrill asked the committee for their input on the current procedure of the

and we would continue with the electronic distribution. The only issue mentioned was
not adhering to the meeting deadlines for submittal of agenda items.

Comparison of Degrees Awarded and GE Certifications
Co-chair Ruth Hemming distributed a report on OC Comparison of Degrees Awarded
and GE Certifications from Spring 1997-Fall 2001. The report was presented for
information based on discussion of the AA/AS General Education Options at the March
20 meeting. Dr. Hemming reported certifications are difficult to extract, and there is no
ready way to discern how many students are double counted as both transfer-certified and
AA/AS degree recipients. She will be reviewing the report with the registrar.
