Meeting called to order at 1:05pm

1. The minutes from the 3 December, 2003 meeting were reviewed and
approved with no changes.

2. Ed Coffman will discuss with Tracy Green ways to implement the
policy with respect to documentation for a retroactive withdrawl.

3. The following meeting times were established: 1:00-3:00pm on 12
February, 4 March, 8 April, and 6 May, 2004.

4. Deb Cowles distributed a model format for the minor programs in the
School of Business. It was moved, seconded and unanimously approved
that responsible faculty shall provide draft documents for all minor
programs to Deb Cowles prior to the February, 2004 meeting. She is to
consolidate all of the draft documents and present them to the
Committee.

5. A discussion took place with respect to item number 4 of the 3
December, 2003 minutes as to the number of required courses for the
minor programs. Questions have arisen at the University level why only
three courses for the minor programs outside the School. It was agreed
to allow Tracy Green to proceed with her response. At a subsequent
meeting, it will be decided whether all minor programs within the School
should consist of four courses.

6. A proposal was received from the Ph.D. Committee of the Department
of Information Systems to do away with all of the foundation courses in
that program. Motion was made and seconded to accept the IS proposal.
Motion failed by a three to three tie. The IS representative was
encouraged to convey to his colleagues that the issue be studied further
and then bring it to the attention of this Committee.

7. Meeting adjourned at 3:10pm.
