OFFICE OF THE SENIOR VICE CHANCELLOR-
ACADEMIC AFFAIRS
February 4, 1999
ALL FACULTY AT UCSD
SUBJECT: SIXTH COLLEGE PLANNING COMMITTEE
I am very pleased to announce that the following individuals have agreed
to serve as members of the Sixth College Planning Committee:
FRANCINE D. BERMAN, Department of Computer Science & Engineering (CSE)
JAMES G. BRANSON, Department of Physics
ANN L. CRAIG, Provost, Eleanor Roosevelt College
DAVID G. GUTIERREZ, Department of History
WILLIAM B. KRISTAN, Department of Biology
DAVID R. MILLER (Chair), Associate Vice Chancellor-Academic Planning
& Programs
LAURA SCHREIBMAN, Department of Psychology
RAND STEIGER, Department of Music
JEFFREY STEINDORF (Executive Secretary), Assistant Vice Chancellor-
Campus Planning
JOSEPH WATSON, Vice Chancellor-Student Affairs
In accordance with Academic Senate policies regarding academic planning
for new colleges, this is a joint Administrative-Senate Committee,
consisting of six Academic Senate members and three members from the
Central Administration. Associate Vice Chancellor Miller will serve as
Chair of this committee, and Assistant Vice Chancellor Steindorf will
serve as the Executive Secretary.
The charge to the Committee is to formulate a preliminary academic or
thematic plan, which should be a broad sketch of the major objectives and
primary directions for the proposed Sixth College. In addition, the
Committee is requested to formulate a physical plan of the College in the
context of the overall campus building program. The blueprint put forth
by the Sixth College Planning Committee in this important initial stage of
planning will guide the following two stages in the academic planning
process -- the search for and appointment of a founding Provost and the
development of a detailed academic plan and the college curriculum.
We envision the new College accepting its first students during the Fall
of 2001 and opening in Fall 2002. I have requested that the Committee plan
to submit its report by the end of May, so that review by Academic Senate
committees can be initiated shortly thereafter.
Planning Committee Chair Miller will soon be in touch with you to solicit
your ideas and comments.
Marsha A. Chandler
Senior Vice Chancellor
