  Meeting Minutes of May 9, 2017:
  "Dr. Miller reported that there were no Academic Program Reviews (APR) presented at the May meeting, however, the Department of Mathematics and Statistics did provide a brief update to their last APR which had been previously reviewed, but not endorsed, by the Graduate Council. The Graduate Council had noted that the external reviewer recommended that the department eliminate a current practice requiring additional courses for their qualifying Ph.D. students. She indicated that they determined that they could not endorse it at that time because when the Graduate Council originally reviewed the APR, the external reviewers recommended that the practice would require graduate students that were completing their qualifying requirements for their PhD would be eliminated. The department disagreed with this."
