1. Agenda and October 15, 2001 minutes -approved unanimously. A change in order of the agenda was approved. Acting Provost Dan Rich spoke to the Executive Committee of the upcoming change in the location of ELI. Currently the English Language Institute falls under the auspices of International Programs and Public Policy. ELI faculty and directors (19 in all) have unanimously agreed to become a new unit in the College of Human Resources, Education, and Public Policy. Discussion arose concerning the placement in CHEP rather than the College of Arts of Science.
