IX.              The Chair presented the annual report. He noted that the Academic Standards Committee’s recommendation that MATH/MATE 1067 not receive General Education credit had not been placed on this agenda because it appears as a specified General Education cognate requirement for two degrees, that those units had not been contacted, and that in its last meeting the UCC voted not to entertain business involving changes to degree requirements at its 4-10-03 meeting. He asked whether the UCC wished him to list the item under “Business Held Over”. It was the consensus of the committee that this matter was part of its recommendation to the Senate approved as FS resolution 03-##; ergo, the course would continue to receive General Education credit. Smith moved approval of the annual report, Skalko seconded. It was approved unanimously.
