Criteria for Athletic-Academic Awards - the committee discussed the draft that Carol S. had distributed at the September meeting. The major points of concern were a) perceived penalties for study- abroad and redshirting, b) semester by semester GPA vs. cumulative GPA, c) the difficulties that Carol faces in implementing various criteria. The AAC agreed to share suggestions by email. Carol will compile them for further review in December.

Revised Mission Statement for Athletics - discussion focussed on the most effective wording to convey goals in diversity and gender equity. Again the members agreed to share opinions via email, which Heather B. will compile for further review at the December meeting.
