Bartiromo began the review of Educational Development 14 by explaining corrections to the proposal form and a revision to the catalog description.
B. Perez questioned the validity of the existing recommended preparation, “verified eligibility for services through the Special Resource Center,” inasmuch as this was not knowledge or a skill that would enhance student success.

Bartiromo explained the purpose of the statement, and, after considerable discussion, it was decided that the information the department needed to convey to students would be included as a catalog note.
