In addition, a new syllabus for a summer section of WSTU: Introduction to Women's Studies was approved. Dr. Schneller will be teaching this course if it makes. Also, Psychology 327: Acquiring Gender--Developmental Perspectives was approved as a Women's Studies course, pending course approval by the Undergraduate Course and Program Review Committee.

Carole Counihan was approved to continue serving as Acting Director through 2001. Dr. Weis' new responsibilities prohibit her from continuing in her term as Director. Applications for the position of Director of Women's Studies will be sought by March 2001 for the coming three year term, expiring in 2004.
