NOTE: The department’s request to add a cross-list of AMST 456 is being handled administratively. The
course is already cross-listed with COMM as COMM-466.
 APPROVED, with the following comments:
1.
The syllabus should make clearer how this course examines “how abuse of power can lead to conflict.”
2.
The second dimension of diversity (class, gender, etc.) should be more explicitly dealt with in the syllabus.
3.
The proposal will be sent to absent DRC members for their feedback.
