• Jewish Studies Minor 

• Motion to Abolish the A&S Honors Committee                                                                               Motion: The A&S Nominating Committee proposes the abolition of the Arts and Sciences Honors Committee.  In its place, we propose that student applications for department honors be vetted solely at the departmental level, and that proposals for modifications to existing honors programs, or the creation of new ones, follow the existing procedures for changes to majors or minors, or the creation of new majors or minors. In place of the Arts and Sciences Honors Committee, a representative from the dean's office will collect names of students accepted into the Honors program by the various department coordinators, verify the accuracy of the list, and forward that information to the Registrar.
