FACULTY PASSES NEW SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
At yesterday’s meeting, the Faculty approved the proposal to establish the new Department of Human Evolutionary Biology to replace the present biological anthropology wing of the anthropology department.
The new department, which will be effective July 1, will administer the concentration in human evolutionary biology and the biological anthropology track of the concentration in anthropology.
Moreover, the formation of the new department will condense four administrative bodies into two—effectively reducing costs in a fiscal climate where the formation of a new department could be seen as extravagant, Lieberman said.
Currently, the anthropology department offers concentrations in human evolutionary biology and anthropology. Within the latter, concentrators can specialize in one of the three wings: archaeology, biological anthropology, and social anthropology.
