Matt, I finally got around to reading the document. Outstanding concept, and about time we triggered it at Oregon State University. I know personally of some students who would jump on this, as a value added opportunity.
I had a few thoughts, in addition to Cary and Larry's.
I do not know if this is the case, but I suggest that since Steven Strauss is the primary instructor, the course BI 435 GENES AND CHEMICALS IN AGRICULTURE: VALUE AND RISK (3) be shown as FS 435 and that it's crosslisted as BI 435 and TOX 435.
Also, in the course catalog I cannot find BI 430H BIOTECHNOLOGIES: AGRICULTURE, FOOD AND RESOURCE ISSUES (3). I have looked high and low. So, either you have the wrong course number or an incorrect entry. (I know Steven teaches a course on Biotechnology -- I have copied in Steven so he can chime in.)
Finally, does it make sense to include Range courses and Horticulture courses in the 16 credits of electives?

Preeminence. Purpose. Impact.

Matt and Sonny: I agree with Larry and think this represents a valuable opportunity for students. I want to point out that Kate Lajtha and BPP are now in the College of Agricultural Sciences. I suggest that the proposal reflect this change.
Thanks.

Hello Sonny and Matt
After going through the proposal “lightly” I find nothing of concern to me. Previous liaison responses more than adequately address any questions that came into my mind as I went through it. The concept of the double degree appeals to me since the students gain disciplinary technical competence to support the sustainability expertise.

Greetings Dean Ramaswamy,
I write to you somewhat embarrassed given the late date, but a group of faculty have been working on a Category I proposal for a double-degree program in sustainability for over two years now. Several AREC faculty were involved from start to finish, including Susan Capalbo, but we somehow neglected to submit a formal liaison request to your office (or have not yet received a reply to early requests). At this time the Faculty Senate Executive Committee would like to see liaison with AgSci on the double- degree. I would greatly appreciate your review of this attached proposal and any comments or questions you might have.
Cheers, ms
