Section I

1.1 Whereas, the OSBHE policy on “Categories of Instruction, Implementation of Board Policies” (beginning on page 57 of the OSBHE Board Policies document [and listed in incorrect alphabetic order in the document table of contents]) consists of two parts:

1.1.1 The first part being a list of definitions of “liberal arts,” “professional,” “pre-professional,” and
“technical education” programs

1.1.2 The second part being a history of the development and allotment of these four types of
programs across the OUS system; and

1.2 Whereas, these definitions do not apply in this particular four-part categorization schema to instructional and research programs at the University of Oregon; and

1.3 Whereas, these definitions are not needed to meet the University of Oregon mission or fulfill our teaching, research, and service obligations; and

1.4 Whereas these policies are clearly of historical interest and should be preserved for this interest in a University archive rather than in an active policy library;
