Committee approves systemwide placement measures for English Composition I
Summary
The Board Academic Affairs Standing Committee approved systemwide placement measures for English Composition I (no co‑requisite developmental support), moving the recommendation on to the board; the measures were developed by a discipline committee following prior math placement work.
Sam, introduced by the committee chair, presented recommended systemwide placement measures for students placed into English Composition I without prerequisite support. He said the English placement committee met five times over the summer and recommended the measures now before the committee as part of the board’s earlier gateway placement and developmental‑education policy work.
Chair Mendoza called for a motion; a committee member moved and another seconded, and members signified approval by saying “aye.” A committee member later thanked the English course placement committee for volunteering extensive time to produce the measures that will move forward to the full board.
The committee’s action forwards the recommended placement measures to the board for consideration; the presenter described this as a parallel process to the committee’s earlier math placement measures, and noted that a discipline‑specific committee advised the measures. The transcript does not include the specific measure language (the presenter referenced the measures on page 6 of the meeting agenda).
