Whee! Language unit abolished
Whee! Language unit abolished
No foreign language requirement is necessary to be admitted to the degree of Bachelor of Arts.
A motion to this effect was passed by the University Council on Monday. Yesterday the Joint Committee recommended that this come into effect on February 1, 1970, and be retrospective. This means that any student who does not have a language requirement, but has completed the rest of the course can be admitted to the B.A. degree after that date.
The recommendation must be passed by the Curriculum Committee before it is entered in the calendar, but it is not expected to meet with any opposition.
