Dean William Fisher of the School of Geosciences has filed with the secretary
of the Faculty Council proposed addition of a Jackson School of Geosciences chapter
in
The Undergraduate Catalog, 2006-2008. The text of the proposed chapter
combines relevant passages from the College of Natural Sciences chapter and new
text crafted by the School of Geosciences faculty. The faculty of the college
and the dean approved the proposed changes on November 23, 2005. The secretary

interest to a single college or school.
The edited proposal was received from the Office of Official Publications on
April 10, 2006, and was sent to the Committee on Undergraduate Degree Program
Review from the Office of the General Faculty on April 10, 2006. The committee
forwarded the proposed changes to the Office of the General Faculty on May 1,
2006, recommending approval. The authority to grant final approval on behalf
of the General Faculty resides with the Faculty Council.
If no objection is filed with the Office of the General Faculty by the date specified

presented to the Faculty Council at its next meeting. The objection, with reasons,
