WHEREAS, in recent years, there have been instances of miscommunication involving proposals to create or change interdisciplinary programs involving fields of study from more than one college;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED

by the Faculty Senate that the following general principle be adopted. Any new academic program or change in an existing program (major, minor, or cognate) that involves disciplines of more than one college should be reviewed by and have a signature of recommendation or non-recommendation of all appropriate curriculum committees of the colleges involved and the Faculty Senate Undergraduate Curriculum Committee prior to offering any such program.
