  4. NEW BUSINESS
    An extended discussion occurred about the GS Program involving students at UNK. Several points were made including: (a) the GS Program seems disconnected and as a list of classes that students must take, (b) the main concern is to educate students about why the GS Program is important, as it is useful in determining a major for students who are undecided, and (c) that this committee intends to help students get information and data about the GS Program.
  5. MISCELLANEOUS
    1. A Student Assessment Survey was created and revised following the AACU General Education Survey that will be sent to students in the following week.
