Subject: UCLA's Graduate Council Review
Dear Folks,
It's official! UCLA's Graduate Council has approved our merger with
Education and has approved both the MLS (to be renamed MLIS, to better reflect
current content of the degree) and the PhD programs. So now we have
substantial support from both the UCLA administration and the Academic Senate.
As noted in earlier messages, the UC system attaches great importance to
shared governance between administration and faculty. The Graduate Council
is a faculty committee. There are still some relatively small matters to be
sorted out with Grad Council and administration, then a vote early in the New
Year by the Legislative Assembly, which represents the full faculty.
One more hurdle crossed!--on our march to become the Graduate School of
Education and Information Studies. Keep sending those good vibes and letters.
Thanks, Marcia Bates
Professor and Chair, LIS
