Please summarize the intent of the proposed changes.

In order to enable German majors to complete and round out the major in their chosen field, the German discipline is accepting several courses in history toward the German major and minor. Students do some of the readings in those history courses in German and write papers for those courses in German.

What are the financial or staffing implications of this proposal for the Discipline?

Lack of complete staffing in German has necessitated drawing on the resources of another discipline to enable students in German to complete their chosen major program.

What are the financial or staffing implications of this proposal for other Disciplines?

none. German students are taking history courses for history credit.
