Presentation transcript:

.. each department [PGA, Biological and Environmental Sciences and Chemistry], taken individually is already using fewer resources in faculty to teach than the university as a whole. Biological and Environmental Sciences is already the largest department in the College of Arts and Sciences with about 1000 majors. It does not make sense to increase it further. It would be essential to add administrative assistants to handle the extra workload in Biological and Environmental Sciences and Chemistry so there would be no cost savings.... linking Astronomy with Biological and Environmental Sciences when Astronomy is recognized as a part of Physics, has courses taught by Physics faculty and scheduled by Physics faculty creates a bizarre divide. There would be a resultant loss in stature of UTC and loss in identity and stature for Geology and Physics majors and faculty. There could be a consequent lost in majors. This plan does not save funds and does not benefit the sciences at UTC. We ask that dissolving PGA be removed from consideration.. John C. TuckerTom RyboltHabte Churnet Head, Biological &HeadHead, Physics, Environmental SciencesChemistryGeology & Astronomy Don’t dissolve PGA and place parts of it into two UTC sciences.
