Dear Karren,

 

Printed below is the required verification from Philosophy that we needed in order to move UGS 0145 forward to Coordinating. Please therefore attach this message to the proposal and put UGS 0145 onto the next Coordinating Committee agenda.

 

Thank you Fred, Jessica, and Monika for answering these clarifying questions from UGS.

Have a great day!

Fred (the other)

Jessica (et al),

Sorry for causing a delay. I had thought from the original email that I was merely being informed of this change. I did not realize I was being asked whether Philosophy had any objection. But, in answer to that question: we do not. So I am happy to support it.

Best,

Fred Schueler
Chair, Philosophy
