Title of Motion: Request from the College of Health Solutions; College of Liberal Arts and Sciences – for the change in an Academic Unit – Department of Speech and Hearing Science – from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to College of Health Solutions

Action Requested: The Curriculum and Academic Programs Committee recommends University Senate approval of a proposal submitted by the College of Health Solutions; College of Liberal Arts and Sciences for the change in an academic unit – Department of Speech and Hearing Solutions – from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to the College of Health Solutions

Rationale: The Department of Speech and Hearing Science will become an academic unit of the College of Health Solutions rather than an academic unit of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

The College of Health Solutions was created to coordinate all activities and initiatives at ASU related to improving health outcomes for our communities.  The programs and activities of the Department of Speech and Hearing Science are in complete alignment with that mission.  This new home is expected to advance intellectual and programmatic connections for the faculty and students in the Department of Speech and Hearing Science.  Becoming an academic unit of the College of Health Solutions will offer advantages for the department in fullfilling its mission in speech and hearing science.
