LBST Curriculum Approval Subcommittee (LCAS)
proposal for discussion

• The LCAS will be a temporary subcommittee of the
  Liberal Studies Committee and will consist of
  members from the College Academic Affairs
  Committees, the University Academic Affairs
  Committee, and the Liberal Studies Committee.
  The LCAS will review and approve the items listed
  below on behalf of the Liberal Studies Committee
  (thus freeing the larger Committee for other
  work). Once the LCAS has approved these items,
  they will then go to the appropriate College
  Academic Affairs Committee, then to the
  University Academic Affairs Committee for
  approval. It is hoped that this procedure will
  expedite the approval process, since members of
  the various academic affairs committees can
  facilitate discussion of proposals in their
  respective committees.
