Subject: Proposed Minor in Public Health

Hello Michael and Kathy,

The University Faculty Senate's Undergraduate Studies Committee and Coordinating Committee on Education have approved the Public Health Minor.  The Executive Committee of the University Faculty Senate in reviewing the proposed minor noted that there were three new HLPR/UAPP courses (HLPR/UAPP21, HLPR/UAPP222, and HLPR/UAPP233) that were being proposed for the minor and would like to have it confirmed that the your Colleges are willing to commit the resources to have these courses taught.  The concern of the Executive Committee centered on the faculty resource issue that was raised in the proposal's implementation plan that stated "the introductory courses will be taught pending faculty hires which are being pursued by Deans Matt and Gamel-McCormick".
The web link to the proposal is:

Could you please send a note/memo that confirms that your College has the faculty resources to commit to this proposed minor?

Thanks - and please let me know if you have any questions concerning this request.
