SUBJECT:

Sixth College Planning Committee

The Sixth College Planning Committee is beginning its work. The committee
is composed of six faculty members and three members of the Central
Administration appointed by the Senior Vice Chancellor-Academic Affairs.
We have been asked to make a recommendation by the end of May.

We invite you to contribute ideas and comments to the process of defining
the college. Please send your thoughts and suggestions to me, or to any
member of the planning committee, by Friday, March 19, if possible. Our
e-mail addresses and campus mail codes are listed below.

We will be happy to receive anything from detailed and well-considered
proposals to brief remarks pertinent to our task. The committee's charge
is to define the intellectual orientation of the college and to propose a
preliminary academic plan. The setting out of specific general education
courses and the details of graduation requirements will be done at a later
stage of the planning process by a different group of faculty.

The contributions of individual faculty members and of the departments and
colleges will serve as one of the principal bases for the committee's
deliberations. After we have considered the ideas and comments sent to us,
we may ask some faculty to meet with the committee. We will also solicit
ideas from department chairs, directors of interdisciplinary programs, the
college provosts, and the divisional deans. We look forward to hearing from you.
