I. Approval of Minutes from the October 4th, 2013 meeting.
II. Announcements
A. The Academic Affairs website is currently going through a transformation. The Webmaster is currently working on the UCC site. We have been asked how many years of information we would like to keep current on our site. Our site currently houses information back to 1997. Is five years of information suitable? We are currently looking into where we would archive prior years; on our Provost T Drive or maybe through University Archiving. UCC currently has no set guidelines on this matter.
