We all introduced ourselves. George Buehler then brought up the current tendency of state legislatures to limit the number of hours required for four year degrees. Many parents have been complaining that their children are taking longer than four years to complete what have been advertised as a four year degrees.
Parents feel that too many hours are being required.
George feels that the Mississippi state legislature will be addressing this issue very soon and that we need to be anticipating their decision. Perhaps we can reduce some of the core requirements. Someone else suggested that we limit the number of hours a student can take before he or she has to declare a major. This brought up the issue of advising problems. George feels that many errors are made in advising students.
