Subject Re: Comparative Literature

Dear Mary,

I will share your letter with the L&S Academic Planning Council when it reconvenes in the Fall and get its advice on how to respond. It was the APC that advised me to ask you to close the department voluntarily. The College will not authorize any searches in Comparative Literature in 06-07.

Sincerely,

Gary
