Objective
A set of criteria was developed to evaluate the various proposals and recommendations that were collected from the faculty. These were discussed and grouped into seven principal areas for further study. Task Force members were then appointed to one or more of the seven subgroups. The task before each subgroup was to define the most effective initiatives within the area, and these would come forth as recommendations to the Academic Council. A report would be written by each area and then blended into a single Task Force report by March 31, 2000.
