| Name: | PCC Proposal to Rename the College of Computer, Mathematical and Physical Sciences to the College of Computer, Mathematical and Natural Sciences |
| Proposed: | 08/24/2010 |
| Sponsor: | PCC Committee |
| Proposal: | This proposal is associated with the proposal to reassign the units and programs of the College of Chemical and Life Sciences (CLFS) to the College of Computer, Mathematical, and Physical Sciences (CMPS). The next step in this process is to rename CMPS to something that more appropriately reflects the full range of disciplines now encompassed by the integrated college. This proposal outlines the process to adopt a new name for the college, and the final selection proposed by the Provost. The process for renaming the college has already involved a series of actions. The first step was an initial call to faculty, staff, and students in both colleges to submit candidate names to a website. The ten department chairs of both colleges were then asked to evaluate the names and submit a ranked list of top choices to Dean Steve Halperin for review. Dean Halperin then submitted a list of finalists to the Provost, which was available for the Senate PCC committee. Faculty, staff and students expressed preferences among the finalists via a website. The four finalist names were: College of Natural Science (NSCI) College of Science (CSCI) College of Sciences (CSCI) College of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences (CMNS) Using the votes from the two colleges, as well as input from alumni, campus deans, and the Senate PCC and Executive committees, the Provost proposes the following name: College of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences (CMNS) |
