Department of African American Studies The proposal to revise the program was Tabled
Unanimously so that the current program description and statement on impacts can be included. The current program includes
restricted electives from History and Literature, requiring input from those units, and the proposal does not indicate how the current
electives in ANTH, CTAR, ECON, GEOG, HIST, PLSC, and PSY will fit into the proposed new program. A memo on the
department name change should be sent to the Dean.
