The Committee worked to coordinate uniformity of procedures with the
R/CA Committee and with the office of the VCAA. These discussions
should be continued in 1984-85 and such is an important carry over.

The new officers should discuss these matters with Vi Rosenfeld,
immediate past Chair of the Committee and should coordinate activities
in 1984~85 with the R/CA Committee. Some discussion of the criteria is
always in order, to see if improvements are called for. Close contact
with Dianna Morris (VCAA Office) is essential on all matters of

procedure and.some further attention to faculty notification is in
order.

Committee organization, subcommittees, activities:
Each committee member is responsible for reading and evaluating each
proposal received by the Committee and for carrying out related

activities. The Committee functions traditionally, in that each member
