Description
At this meeting, the recommendations of the Hairston Committee are discussed: leave the English requirement at 9 hours and establish a university-wide committee to address writing across the curriculum. The meeting features a lengthy indictment of the English writing program by Sledd, comments by Kinneavy and Hairston defending recent efforts to improve the writing program, and a failed vote on the Hairston Committee recommendation because no quorum was present.
