The 32-hour teacher-education minor would be identical to the regular minor except that instead of a 12-hour requirement in research (Black Studies 298) the teacher-education minor would require 8 hours of research and 4 hours of electives in black studies. The Chancellor at the Chicago Circle campus and the Executive Vice President and Provost concur in this recommendation. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no further Senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval subject to further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education.
