If the competency changed significantly, the old competency and the new competency were listed individually (e.g. "Mathematical Skills" is listed separately from "Empirical and Quantitative Skills").
** Beside Area Represented | Designates that the department and division titles have changed over time; the title used now may not be the same as the title used at the point the committee was initially formed. Also designates that the area may be divided by division or by the type of area (i.e. designations given by SACSCOC).
** Beside Title | Designates that titles and faculty/staff responsibilities change over time. The title either was historically or is currently accurate.
