Senate Paper S.73-125 provides that any course not offered within a six semester period be
deleted from the Calendar unless adequate justification for retaining the course is
presented, with SCUS charged with reviewing those courses under this ruling and making
recommendations to Senate.
The Registrar advised Faculty Deans of those courses which fell under the above provisions
and requested a response to the notice of intention to delete the courses. The responses
were considered by SCUS at its meeting on December 10,
1985. SCUS
approved the
department/faculty recommendations for deletion. In a number of other cases, SCUS agreed
that there was adequate justification to retain the course for the present; summary is
attached.
