1. The minutes of January 28 were approved (with a spelling correction).
2. The straw ballot on the calendar was approved and it was decided to
distribute it as soon as possible.
3. Andy Markowski presented a request from the Student Forum that
reading time be created before final exams begin. This could be done, they suggest, by
moving more finals to the end of the exam period. Dean Cool will discuss this with the
Registrar.
4. Andy Markowski also presented the concern of students with the WAC
credits. The most significant is the inconsistency among classes. Steve Leavitt pointed
out that the WAC 1 requirements are a minimum. A second concern is the absence of WAC 3
credits in some departments. Dean Lewis will bring the concerns to the Writing Board.
