Council specifically the types of input needed and out put available for
submitting a course proposal to Graduate Council. There were questions
about the advantages of electronic submission and the limitations of the Omni

would create for departments; who will be responsible for keeping information
on the site updated; and where this site would be linked to. Kevi
provided hard copies of the site-to-date. After some discussion, B. Silky
motioned approval on a trial basis for the 2006-07 academic year; G. Klatsky
seconded. The motion was unanimously approved.

minutes of September 22 were approved as written.

routine review.
- Finally, there have been two people found to act as outside reviewers for
the MAT in English. This review will take place on early
November.
- Dr. King reminded all about the Graduate Fair Week: October 30 – November
3. All were encouraged to urge their department members and students to
attend.

faculty.
