The University Committee reviewed a memo dated May 25, 1993 from the University Committee chair to the chancellor and the director of the Institute for Environmental Studies related to the governance structure of IES (UC document 130401).  The 1993 memo recommends that the University Academic Planning Council review the proposed governance structure of a department with school/college-like features.  Based on this precedent, the UC will recommend that the proposed governance structure of the Arts Institute be reviewed by the UAPC.
