ESTABLISHMENT OF DEGREE PROGRAMS IN ITALIAN AND IN THE TEACHING OF ITALIAN, CHICAGO CIRCLE (15) The Chicago Circle Senate has recommended the establishment of undergraduate programs in Italian in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The degree programs in Italian will provide courses leading to a degree in the language and culture of a country whose role in the development of Western civilization is of major importance and which is represented by a very large ethnic and cultural group in the United States, particularly the Chicago area. The programs will contain a firm core of sound humanistic courses in language, literature, and culture which could serve as the basis for further social science courses directly related to the role of ethnic communities in the contemporary city. Since the course offerings in these programs are in large part already available to students at Chicago Circle on an elective basis, these new programs will require only a minor reallocation of existing resources within the budget of the Department of Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese.
