ESTABLISHMENT OF DEPARTMENT OF CLASSICS, CHICAGO CIRCLE (6) T h e College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Chicago Circle, with the concurrence of the Chicago Circle Senate, recommends that a Department of Classics be established within the College and that existing undergraduate degree programs in these fields (now offered through the Department of English) be placed within the purview of the new department, effective September 1, 1969. This proposal would involve the restructuring of the College to include a Department of Classics. Faculty members who now teach classics would constitute the faculty of the new department. Additional funds will be provided in the 1969-71 biennium. The programs for undergraduate majors in the fields of Classics would be administered by the new department, and the degree of Bachelor of Arts would be awarded. Courses in Classics required in other curricula of the College and elective courses for undergraduate students outside of the College will continue to be provided. The Senate Coordinating Council advises that no further Senate jurisdiction is involved. This proposal has been approved by the Chancellor at the Chicago Circle Campus and by the Executive Vice-President and Provost. I recommend approval subject to further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. On motion of Mr. Jones, this recommendation was approved. 1 Mr. Rabb was unable to attend the Commencement Exercises; thus the degree was not conferred.
