- Reviewing proposals for Liberal Studies courses, and recommending to the Senate Undergraduate Curriculum Committee the inclusion of those which meet the criteria for Liberal Studies; recommending to the Senate Undergraduate Curriculum Committee the deletion of courses which no longer meet such criteria;
- Undertaking periodic reviews of each part of the Liberal Studies program, and recommending to the Senate Undergraduate Curriculum Committee such changes as may be necessary and;
- Making any other recommendations, either to the Senate Undergraduate Curriculum Committee or to other university bodies, which it believes will improve the Liberal Studies program at IUP.
The Liberal Studies Committee will not supercede, but will supplement and assist, the university governing bodies which are now established. All curricular proposals presented to the Liberal Studies Committee will be submitted to the Senate Undergraduate Curriculum Committee with the Liberal Studies Committee recommendation. If approved by UWUCC they will be passed on to the University Senate for appropriate action.
