On behalf of the Liberal Studies Revision Steering
Committee, I thank the University Senate for voting to endorse the committee's
work to date on the proposal for the LS Curriculum Framework.
The most recent version of the proposal was emailed to the university community
last week. If you have not reviewed the document, please consider doing this
before you depart for the semester break. If you did not receive the information
and wish to have a copy, please direct your request to the LS office (110
Gordon, X 7-5715).
As a work in progress, we ask that any additional feedback on the LS Curriculum
Framework proposal be submitted to me by 1 p.m. on January 15th. For your
