The Liberal Arts and Sciences Council

The Liberal Arts and Sciences Council is a body appointed by the All College Committee and charged by the administration to research, plan and implement alterations to the Liberal Arts and Sciences program. While it has no authority to authorize policy, it recommends policy to the ACC. As part of the course approval process, the LA&S Council makes recommendations concerning LA&S requests for courses—whether a course should receive cluster approval or broad LA&S approval. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the ACC Curriculum Committee and of the ACC itself to approve LA&S course requests. It is also part of the Council's responsibilities to plan and implement the assessment process for the LA&S core program. The members of the Council during this year are Jennifer Berg‎, Diane Caggiano‎, Jennifer Fielding‎, Elizabeth S. Gordon, Meg Hoey‎, Michael Zachary Lee‎, Frank Mabee, Joe Moser (Chair), Benjamin Railton, Jessica Robey‎‎ and Daniel Sarefield.
