Sciences and Trinity College with respect to: Arts and Sciences priorities;
faculty development; support and policy for faculty research, teaching, and
administrative facilities; organization of depar- tments and units within the
Arts and Sciences faculty; areas of interaction between graduate and undergraduate
programs such as teaching assistantships, instructional budgets, and teacher
training; and any other matters of particular concern to the Arts and Sciences
