WAC Meeting Minutes
11/10/08

The meeting began at 1:00. Minutes from the October 14th meeting were approved after correcting the misspelling of Chris Renaud’s name.

Temple Burling’s Heritage II Writing Intensive Course renewal was approved.

Rick Matthews will contact Temple Burling to reiterate the agreement between the WAC Committee and the Heritage Program regarding writing intensive expectations for all Heritage courses in exchange for blanket approval of these courses as Writing Intensive.

W.I. waivers were granted for the following students:

Heather Johnson
Jennifer Newell
Eric Carson
Elliot Kist
Melissa Chabkian

The W.I. requirement was not waived for Beth Robbins. The committee determined there is time for the Business Department to put the necessary courses in place for Ms. Robbins to complete in time for graduation. Ryan Ringhand will communicate the decision to the student. Rick Matthews will speak with Tom Groleau and Mike West to encourage both the Business Department and Adult Education to address the issue of Writing Intensive courses as soon as possible.

Rick Matthews will also speak with Admissions to insure that correct information is being given to incoming students, particularly transfer students.

The meeting adjourned at 2:00 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Jean Preston
