Task: Course Change or New Course Proposal
Section I:

- Impact on Students:
- Impact on University Resources:
- Impact on other Academic Units:
Section II:
- Subject: Change in designator from the current WOST (Women’s Studies) to WGSS (Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies)
- Justification: By changing this designator, we are aligning ourselves with the same program in W. Lafayette. This designator allows us to expand our offerings, adding courses to build a minor in WGSS. Also, this designator reflects a cultural shift which includes sexuality and gender as components of diversity and inclusion, thus broadening course offerings.
