The Curricular Policy Committee has reviewed the proposals for the minors listed below and found them to comply with Senate Proposal 16-97. We recommend that the Senate approve these proposals as they have been edited by the Curricular Policy Committee in consultation with the sponsoring departments as of this date. None of the proposed minors would appear to require new resources from the University as all utilize existing courses. A possible exception to this is the Interdisciplinary Minor in Remote Sensing. The proposal calls for any additional costs to be paid by the Remote Sensing Program. The proposals are available for review by contacting the Senate Office.
In interpreting Proposal 16-97, the Committee has made the following operative rules:
