Hans Zorn, Acting Chair of the Institutional Purpose Committee, met with the committee to describe the work of the Purpose Committee and to present proposed revisions in Institutional Standing Goals and Curriculum Goals. Members of the Steering Committee endorsed the proposed changed in Institutional Standing Goals and asked Hans to forward a copy to Mac Johnson, Chair of the Resources and Planning Council. RPC will consider the Goals, forward to FAC, who will seek faculty endorsement at the 4/18 faculty meeting.

The Steering Committee also liked very much the proposed revisions in the Curriculum Goals and worked with Hans on the precise language used for some of the goals in the third (personal development) section. A distinction was made between institutional goals and curriculum goals and the focus was on the latter. Greg will deliver a copy to Paul Hanstedt, Chair of the Curriculum Committee, which will seek faculty endorsement at the 4/18 meeting.

The committee will meet again tomorrow at 8:30 a.m.

The meeting ended at 4:15 p.m.
