  5. A general discussion took place regarding the revision of the 海角社区 Degree Program (long form), that has been sent out to the 海角社区 AVP's for input. Steve circulated the revisions and asked for input. He highlighted the increased resource requests on the form, and asked the committee to be mindful of this when considering new programs.

     

  6. Social Justice Studies 鈥 presented by Julia Balen. In attendance as support were: Renny Christopher, Harley Baker, Beth Hartung, and Frank Barajas. Julia reviewed her new short form which was considerably expanded from her original proposal. She remains focused on using the title 鈥淔reedom and Justice Studies鈥 and noted the support she has gotten when introducing this course of study at various conferences she's attended. After the presentation, the committee discussed the merits of the program. In concept, the program was approved but the committee does not agree that the title would attract students or adequately describe the course of study. It therefore approved the course with the existing title: Social Justice Studies. Steve agreed to write the presenter and share the committee's concern and share some title options.
