Which Matrix for AGEC Changes :  
Record of Voting : All the above indicated changes (editorial or not) were discussed by all attending members and representatives of the affected institutions. No objections were presented to the adoption of these changes. It was clearly understood that there was unanimous consensus. Therefore, there was no need to vote.  
Effective Date for AGEC Change :  
AGEC Information : None of the three state universities in Arizona reported changes to their general education requirements.

 
Issues Raised : A representative from ASU (Main), Marilyn L. Hart, inquired about the status of the "Issues to bring to APASC" recorded in last-year meeting's minutes.

In point 10 of those minutes (Issues to bring to APASC), it was indicated that "The Introduction to engineering class has an articulation document which should be downloadable from the link on the Common Course Matrix. This would allow any school thinking about offering such a course direct access to the course defining document."

Apparently, such document is not available yet for download from the link on the Common Course Matrix.

The ATAC Facilitator attending this meeting, Randy Skinner, indicated that he will be contacting Amy Fountain or Gretchen Schmidt regarding this issue. He also pointed out that it might be the case that this issue may need to be brought to APASC again.
