standards.
Veterinary Medical Technology (A45780)
Central Carolina Community College requested the addition of 3 lab hours to
VET 126 (Veterinary Disease II), in order to cover the material adequately. This
addition of 3 lab hours will result in an increase of credit hours for VET 126
from one semester hour credit to two semester hour credits. The major core hours
required changes from 49 to 50. Gaston College is the only other college in the system offering this program and they are in agreement.
Archaeological & Historical Preservation Technology (A35110)
Randolph Community College has discovered a low demand for an AAS degree in
archaeology. Many of the students must pursue a four-year degree in archaeology because
entry-level jobs require a bachelor's degree. After reviewing job markets and talking with the
advisory committee, the college has decided to reconsider the program and concentrate on historic
preservation, and wishes to change the name of the program from Archaeological
and Historic Preservation Technology (A35110) to Historical Preservation
Technology (A35110) and drop the Archaeological Technician (A3511A)
concentration. Randolph is the only college approved to offer this program.

All transfer requests approved during the month of June shall be reported to the Finance and Capital Needs Committee at it next regular meeting.
For Action
A. Two Percent Transfer
Attachment FC-8 in Folder 4-00
On a motion by Mr. Watkins, seconded by Mr. Sansom, the Board approved the
appeal from
Tri-County Community College to transfer in excess of two percent. Approximately
one year ago, Dr. Norman Oglesby, president of Tri-County, met with then
Executive Vice-President Dr. Barry Russell and Vice President for Business and
Finance Kennon Briggs to discuss a plant closing by the Levi Strauss Corporation
in the Tri-County service area. Dr. Oglesby noted that his college was being
called upon to meet the short and long term training needs of adult learners
displaced by the plant closing. Levi Strauss was providing, as part of a
severance package to former employees, the opportunity to attend classes paid
for by the company. Based upon an analysis of enrollment patterns at Tri-County
for fiscal year 1999-2000, the demand for instruction materialized and
curriculum enrollment for Tri-County is up 176 FTE, an increase of 26%. This
kind of enrollment precipitates the need for "other cost" monies, such
as supplies and materials, computer software, and other items necessary for
instruction.
