composition requirement; voice vote, J. Hindson abstained
· Starting this fall for new students, a minimum grade of “C”
is required in ENG 110 (or 112 for those who take that) to satisfy the
literacy requirement. (This is a change from the BC grade previously
required). Further, there is no composition requirement beyond ENG 110
or 112.

Review of spreadsheet breaking down SLOs by assessment level
(from “exemplary” to “fail”) & update of assessment returns for this
year
- slightly less participation than last year, and some results
awaiting the official dept. “submit-button pusher”
- some courses’ tool denied this time (80% compared to 93% last year);
various corrections to delinquent list needed for “exempt” courses
and course # changes; other causes mysterious
- GEC chair will inquire of dept. chair & “submit-button” pusher:
compliance is required
