The guiding question for the committee is: How does the College deliver the best education for students in constrained circumstances?

Muriel Poston, Dean of Faculty, discussed strategies for future faculty hires.

Members of CEPP had questions and voiced some reservations about the purpose and audience for the document. Questions arose regarding whether there will be another document that will unpack these learning goals, how does this document represent ϳԹ as a unique college, and whether the ASC envisions the Student Learning Goals to be a bridge between the Strategic Plan and assessment. Members of the ASC asked for CEPPs endorsement of the Student Learning Goals document. CEPP will take up this matter at its next meeting. Meeting was adjourned at 10:00 AM.
