...about the task. University Hall bureaucrats busily churned out memos, the Committee on Houses and Undergraduate Life (CHUL) copiously collected information on study abroad programs offered by 25 other colleges, the Eductaional Resources Group (ERG) debated and produced its ideal foreign study format, the Committee on Undergraduate Education (CUE) analyzed ERG's plan and others for more than a year. Finally, last spring, CUE sent the Faculty Council its thoughtfully constructed, long-in-the drafting study abroad proposal--aimed at relaxing the rules on study abroad to make it possible for more students to gain credit for foreign studies.

James Henderson '80, another CUE student member, says the Council vote took CUE by surprise. He says they were led to believe the Council would support their effort to make the existing study abroad plan more flexible. But Henderson says he realizes now the Council "has pulled...

Some CUE members advocating limiting the number of courses one faculty member could approve, while others suggested allowing only teaching faculty and not administrators to approve the courses...
