Recommendation of the Committee on Committees to Revise the L&S Approval Matrix



Recommendation:

That the L&S Approval Matrix, adopted by the L&S Faculty on April 10, 2000, be revised as indicated below.

Rationale:

The original L&S Faculty approval matrix was designed in parallel with the university approval matrix. The University Senate has revised its matrix; the proposed changes in the L&S matrix will keep it parallel to the university matrix.
