III. Additions to the Agenda

CJC Code Changes

Kathleen Rourke explained that the CJC has decided on a new definition of harassment and is presenting it to the UA. They addressed this issue because of a request by the Council’s Office.

Mary Beth Grant said they wanted to have a clearer definition of what constitutes harassment, so the campus has more notice on what is considered proper behavior.

S. Beemer remarked that, because they did not have quorum for this meeting, that they would have to postpone the vote on this issue until the next meeting.

IV. Approval of Minutes

The vote on the minutes was postponed because attendance did not reach quorum.

V. Business of the Day

Program Document Discussion

S. Beemer announced that all four program documents would be presented at the April meeting, with each expected to take a half-hour.
