- Status of the Academic Plan: Steve reported that the 海角社区CI academic plan will be on
the March agenda of the Board of Trustees in the form that we submitted it in January.

was a general discussion regarding the revision of our long form to include new elements

some deliberation, the following was agreed to:
- Modify the long form according to the new template and revise the signature page to
include sign off from Ted Lucas (approval 鈥 Steve will take this window to review
the program with Ted) and OPC (for their review/consultation).
- The Short form, after approval by the Senate, will be distributed as an information
item to: Information Technology, the Library, OPC and the Dean of Faculty.

Office - Meeting with Community Members: It was determined that several stakeholder meetings will take place over the next few months. It was agreed that two meetings should be held this spring, one with persons in health related fields and a second with persons in government and social services fields. It was agreed that our committee ought to focus its request for input in this fashion. Committee members were asked to consult faculty and other existing community contacts for referrals for these meetings. Steve will coordinate the meeting times. Other data needs to be collected such as transfer students, their curriculum, etc. We agreed not to have a separate meeting for community colleges, but include them selectively in the other meetings. Community meetings in other content areas may take place later, perhaps in summer.
