1.       The year ahead     

It is going to be a busy year.  Lei is going to recruit some additional members to the committee.  Some of the items that the committee will address are:

• The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) emphasis Student Learning Outcomes by course.
• BBA in Entrepreneurship establishment

Old Business

1.       BA or BFA from ACM

The proposal is better.  Two areas of concern are:

• The faculty qualifications and degree to be awarded (BA) do not match.  Faculty appears more qualified for a BFA. 
• Student release of copyright appears onerous.

The committee will invite the Director, Thomas Brislin, and the VCAA to attend the next meeting.
