Senate Bill 16-17-36
| Bill ID: | 16-17-36 |
| Name: | University Expectations for Limited Enrollment Programs |
| Proposed: | 05/15/2017 |
| Sponsor: | Senate Executive Committee |
| Proposal: | In 1990, the University Senate voted to accept the recommendations of a Report on Admissions and Advising (Senate Doc. No. 89-90-113A). This report called for the creation of "Limited Enrollment Programs" (LEPs) to aid in maintaining a balance between enrollments and resources within certain academic majors. Since that time, programs with LEP status have been reviewed and revised several times, and new LEPs established, as the University’s enrollments and student interests have evolved. The process by which they are reviewed has also evolved several times since 1990. The Senate Executive Committee voted to charge the Educational Affairs Committee with a broad review of Limited Enrollment Programs. |
