A Wismer/Price motion was passed without dissent to waive the two meeting rule for the approval of the CHEM 302 (Chemistry in Nanotechnology), B.S. in Industrial Technology - Addition of Nanofabrication Manufacturing Option and A.T. in Industrial Technology - Addition of Nanofabrication Manufacturing Option proposals.

Elections for two vacant seats on the General Education Task Force Committee took place. A Schaffer/Wismer motion passed without dissent to nominate Senator Tacka for the Humanities Seat.
