The University Core Council has expressed concerns over the interdisciplinary focus of the MNGT 452 course. Remedies include evidence of faculty expertise in natural sciences, social sciences, or humanities, and readings by professionals in these fields. Course materials must be revised and resubmitted by Fall 2006 for further consideration. Options include revising the current course, developing a new course, or seeking LIBA 497 assistance.
