Members, Board of Trustees:


                        CHANGE IN DEGREE TITLE


Recommendation: that the Board of Trustees approve the change in the
degree title B.S. in Home Economics for the Restaurant Management
program option in Nutrition and Food Science to B.S. in Hospitality
Management.

Backgrouid; This change in title was approved by the University
Senate transmittal dated January 22, 1993. The degree title needs to
be updated as the present title reflects the former name of the
College of Human Environmental Sciences. The proposed name for the
degree more accurately describes program content. Employees and
graduates of the program have recommended the change to increase
graduate opportunity to compete favorably in the marketplace. Current
graduates report difficulty in the job market because the degree title
does not accurately reflect their expertise. Future plans for the
program include accreditation by CHRIE (Council on Hotel, Restaurant
and Institutional Education) which recognizes Hospitality Management
as a degree title.



Action taken:  Approved     v         Disapproved               Other

Date: March 2. 1993
