The Humanities Curriculum Committee approved with suggestions and reservations. 1 dissenting vote.
- Include more examples of constructions that students can make and how the program can be structured.
- Include a sample program that shows the major can be constructed historically (e.g., with a focus on "Contemporary World Literature," or [if possible] "18th and 19th-century World Literature," etc.).
- AAAS 367 needs to be removed from the course list for "Africa". By definition, 367s are U.S. social diversity-based and could therefore count only for the "North America/Europe" region.
- Turkish 641 - this course appears to consist of outside perspectives talking about Turkey. It was suggested that this course be reconsidered.
- It was suggested that, in order to assure that this is a genuine Humanities major and not simply a de facto Comp. Studies track, the oversight committee should include 1 member from Comparative Studies and 1 member from English (as a literature department with the highest number of courses included).
