Status Report
Discussion of Ideas for Offering
DASA/CARR/SAVE Workshops
 Eliminate offering of SAVE as part of HLH classes
 Students are charged for these workshops even though they are
part of class time.
 Would allow for bundling of workshops (see below).
 Offer DASA Workshop as hybrid: 3 hours “face to face”
workshop; 3 hours on-line prior to workshop (NYSED
requires a minimum of 3 hours “face to face”)
 Offer CARR and SAVE Workshops at same price ($35)
 Offer DASA Workshop at $105
 Offer package price: 3 workshops for $150 to be taken all
on a Saturday.
Discussion of the Elimination of the
TEC Curriculum Committee
 Do we need a TEC Curriculum
Committee?
 If so, what should its purpose be?
 If not, how should it be eliminated from
the college curriculum process?
