Internal Review - Federation of the Colleges of the Arts and Sciences

As a part of the university's official review of the Federation of the Colleges of the Arts and Sciences (as mandated by the White Paper establishing the Federation), the offices that report directly to the Office of the Executive Dean (OED) completed a self-study (internal review) process during winter and spring quarters. The report is the result of that review and was submitted in June 2007 to the President and the Provost.
