and to change the nomenclature of the Two Specializations Involved from

WHEREAS these changes will more accurately reflect the program offerings; and

WHEREAS the changes will enhance recruitment and retention efforts as well as bring the program name in line with changes that are occurring across the nation in institutions much like SIUC; and

WHEREAS there has been an overwhelmingly positive reaction to these changes on the part of program faculty, administration, staff, students; and alumni; and

WHEREAS implementation of this undergraduate minor program will not require additional equipment, facilities, faculty assignment, or budget;

BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED that the Faculty Senate approve and recommend to the appropriate administrative bodies this College's request to change the Name of the B.S. in Clothing and Textiles to the B.S. in Fashion Design and Merchandising, and to change the nomenclature of the two specializations involved from Apparel Design to Fashion Design, and Retailing to Fashion Merchandising; and that the 2002-2003 SIUC Undergraduate Catalog be edited in all instances appropriate to reflect this change: effective Spring semester 2002.
