[The Policy] was submitted by Dean Carew…[and] was drafted by Dean Fred Schwarzbach in consultation with the FAS Dean’s office and the LS Steering Committee….” (Letter of April 23, 2015 from David McLaughlin to C-FSC and T-FSC Chairs)

The following will enumerate various questions, comments and recommendations to the submitted Policy. Some questions and recommendations, however, are related to the process of inclusion of Liberal Studies faculty in discussions on, ability to suggest amendments to, and to vote on the Policy. These questions will appear in some of the responses to specific items in the Policy. A fuller discussion of these questions appears in Appendix A at the end of the recommendations.
