Reinstatement of Field of Concentration in Latin American Studies, Urbana (14) The Urbana-Champaign Senate recommends the reinstatement of the program in Latin American Studies and the updating of the old major-minor to the current field of concentration format. On July 23, 1969, the Board of Trustees approved the discontinuance of the undergraduate major in Latin American Studies. The request for discontinuance at that time was based on the opinion of the executive committee of the Center for Latin-American Studies that undergraduate students should major in a disciplinary department and be encouraged to take an interdisciplinary minor. Reinstatement is now requested because of changes in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences' organization of undergraduate specializations and because of increasing interest in Latin America on this campus and across the state and nation. Since the Latin American Studies program was discontinued, more than thirtynew courses on Latin America have been added to departmental offerings, and some forty Latin Americanists work in seven colleges and thirteen departments across the campus. T h e field of concentration in Latin American Studies will consist of a minimum of 42 semester hours of course work, and the student must complete all requirements of the University and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences for graduation. T h e chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus and the vice president for aeademic affairs concur in this recommendation. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no further senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval. O n motion of Mr. Velasquez, this recommendation was approved.
