Other Business
- At the moment a single course can satisfy more than one Global Context (i.e., PI can be coupled with any other Global Context), because the Academic Senate did not approve the decoupling. The committee decided to discuss this issue in more detail at the January Retreat.
- For January Retreat with UCC:
- Definition of PI
- The relationship between Areas and Contexts in PLAS.
- Percentage of course devoted to a context needed to “count.”
- Level of GenEd courses; Problem of science courses for major
