Review of Documents Related to Institutional Review
Goal: While we program review is operating (at various levels of effectiveness0 at the individual program level, we currently lack a plan and a structure for institution-level program review. Review and modify as needed the documents generated in consultation with our consultant, Marilee Bresciani, so that they will be understandable, effective for use, politically acceptable locally and effective in working with WASC.

Wrapping up –after the fire:
- Missing Sept. 15 reports: a PRC response (Com. Studies, Political Science, RS)
- Proposal for course reduction –a template
- New schedule for Program Review
  - 1) Am I missing anything and are there any inconsistencies?
  - 2) Is this any clearer than the previous schedule? -our last faculty meeting made it very clear to me that the schedule did not make sense to the faculty so this needs to be redrafted to be clearer
  - 3) We need to communicate this to the ENTIRE faculty (if there is to be any ownership). Where will this happen best? Should we ask for a bit of time at the next faculty meeting -something like an update on Hamlet.
  - 4) When would GE most helpfully be due to impress WASC?
