Kyle presented his report in writing. There was a vigorous discussion of the status of our evaluation system and it was generally agreed that the evaluation subcommittee had done an excellent job in developing this plan. Drs. Davidson and Normann both congratulated the committee and stated that there was much greater clarity at this point as to what was expected of course directors.
