AAC Minutes Listed

October 19, 1998

1. The minutes of October 12, 1998 were approved.

2. Danette Slevinski discussed student concerns about the elimination of the dance program. Linda Cool explained that the half-time position was funded by an alumnus' gift, that the gift is not being continued, and that the dance program would return to the level at which it existed prior to the gift. Linda Stanhope reported that Hilary Tann wished to continue the half-time dance position.

3. The calendar discussion resumed. The question of whether or not the AAC should bring forward a semester proposal was debated further. There was a feeling on the part of some members that the AAC was committed to bring forward a proposal for a vote. There is great concern among a number of faculty that the five-course teaching load will not be implemented, and that this would undermine the benefits of a semester system.
