2. #As per standing duty 1b of the Bylaws, continue to work with departments to bring courses into compliance with SUNY General Education (GER) requirement designations.
3. #Update the CWCC procedure manual.
4. #The Academic Senate Executive Committee recognizes that NCC 101 has the potential to become a strong retention tool. In light of a recent proposal to add NCC 101 as a required course to the GLA degrees presented by the Reading Department during the last CWCC meeting, and realizing that currently there is no written procedure to make changes to the GLA degrees, the ASEC recommends the following charges to the CWCC:
   1. To create a detailed procedure for making changes to the GLA degrees. This procedure will be included in the CWCC manual.
   2. To form a subcommittee to work in collaboration with the NCC 101 course committee that will engage in the syllabus/course outline revision and possible re-design of NCC 101 with a goal of adequately serving our diverse student population –different levels of academic achievement, college readiness, major, age, needs, etc.
