Memo from Annette Chappell to Elaine Hedges, 1992

Date: May 8, 1992 Towson State University College of Liberal Arts To: Elaine Hedges, Coordinator, women'S Studies From: Annette Chappell, Dean, College of Liberal Arts Subject: action on the major proposal The Secretary of Higher Education has denied approval of the WMST major, on the grounds that "there is insufficient evidence to indicate a compelling regional or statewide need for this proposed program." We are initiating an appeal of the decision. You need do nothing at this time, though the Provost or I may later call on you for information to incorporate in the appeal. I'm sorry Secretary Aery was not able to see the importance of the program, but I remain optimistic about its conversion from IDIS concentration to full major status. M\HDGMHEC A. .27
