Hi Keith, we were worried about getting flooded with students, as
apparently happened the last time a minor was offered. cris was just
in my office and we talked about asking the undergrad adviser to
monitor enrollment in the minor and cut it off at 25 per year, but
keep track of interest, and we could change or remove the cap later.
No portfolios, that sounds like a nightmare.

I think cris is meeting with Patrick about cap issues now.
