NEW CORE CURRICULUM UPDATE AND AMENDMENT TO UFLE REPORT Dr. Leon Geyer briefly updated the commission on the core curriculum and offered an amendment to the membership of the core curriculum com- mittee.

Following much discussion on how the membership of the committee would be selected as well as the terms of office and whether CUS would be given the opportunity to comment on the membership, a motion was made to table the amendment until further dis- cussion in the fall. The vote of the commission was split, 9 - 9, with the Chair casting the deciding vote to table the amendment. 7. OTHER BUSINESS G.
