| Whereas | The Psychology Department provided perfect model of how to comply with this resolution with their memo dated April 21st, 1992 to W.A. Baker, then Vice President of Academic Affairs; and |
| Whereas | This memo listed each course offered by the department, indicating if the course was offered in the fall, the spring or irregularly; and |
