Motion Introduced by:  Curriculum and Academic Programs Committee

Date of First Reading:  August 29, 2022

Date of Second Reading:  October 3, 2022

Title of Motion: Request from Watts College of Public Service and Community Solutions – School of Community Resources and Development – for the disestablishment of a graduate degree – MPS in Community Development Practice

Action Requested: This curricular proposal has received all college, school, unit and university administrative approvals, and is being presented to the Senate for review and voting decision.   

Rationale: Since the program had been established in 2020 we have had zero students enrolled despite marketing efforts. There can always be a stronger campaign for everything we do but the cost benefit analysis has to be accounted for. It was best to use limited resources to build up current/thriving programs than to dedicate resources to an unestablished program.
