The faculty of Atmospheric Science voted earlier to withdraw from both programs. Several 3000- and 4000-level classes will remain on the Atmospheric Science. The interdisciplinary undergraduate ESS program started in 2005, with seven departments: Botany, Geology, Geography, Anthropology, Soil Science, Secondary Education, and Atmospheric Science. After continued low enrollment in ESS in all departments, Atmospheric Science voted to withdraw from the program in 2013. ESS itself was absorbed into the SENR program in 2014. Similarly, Atmospheric Science offered a concentration in Physics Plus starting in 1999, but also because of low enrollment decided to withdraw. Atmospheric Science remains active in undergraduate teaching, with strong enrollments in 2000 and 2100; 4010 and 4320 help meet course needs of other majors. Several other undergraduate courses are being considered. Action: Approve
