General Education Committee members

At its meeting of November 21, 1996 the University Academic Planning Council (UAPC) assigned the overall academic administration of the campus-wide General Education Requirements to the College of Letters and Science to act as trustee on behalf of all schools and colleges. The College of Letters and Science formed a General Education Committee to serve as an advisory body for this purpose. Dr. Elaine M. Klein (elaine.klein@wisc.edu), L&S Associate Dean of Academic Planning, chairs this committee and coordinates General Education efforts for the campus.
The University General Education Committee has articulated the following operating procedures that facilitate its work on behalf of the University, in accordance with the authority delegated to it by the University Academic Planning Council.
