268 B O A R D OF T R U S T E E S [June 11 I concur, pending further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. On motion of Ms. Reese, this recommendation was approved. Discontinue the Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts and Sciences with a Major in Judaic Studies Degree Program, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Chicago (11) The chancellor at Chicago, with the advice of the Chicago Senate and the dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, recommends the discontinuance of the Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts and Sciences with a major in Judaic Studies degree program. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, effective September 1990, terminated an agreement with Spertus College of Judaica under which UIC paid Spertus to provide the courses and faculty to offer the B.A. in Judaic Studies at UIC.
