Text of March 26, 2008 E-mail from Arun Mukherjee, Director of Scheduling and Space Management, on implementation of University Senate's October 2006 recommendations on Availability of Syllabi During Add/Drop:

 
“I am pleased to inform you that based on University Senate's recommendations on the availability of syllabi during add/drop, we will be rolling out a new web based system soon that departments could use to update the link for the course synopsis pages. Once the link is entered, all courses offered by the department in the online schedule of classes will be updated with a value of "Y" to indicate that synopsis page exists. Once you click on the "Y" it will take you to the course synopsis page of the department. With this system individual faculty members will no longer be required to go through OIT to establish course synopsis page for his/her course.

 “We will provide the URL for the course synopsis system to departments in early April 2008.”
