Greetings Dr. Peterson, Thank you for your email. The College leadership team and | have discussed your syllabus and the Provost office’s requirements for compliance with the new system rule 08.01. You have two options going forward: 1. You may mitigate your course content to remove the modules on race ideology and gender ideology, and the Plato readings that may include these. 2. You may be reassigned to teach PHIL 482 501-514. Lecture times for this course are T/Th 8:00 - 9:15. Please let us know by end of business tomorrow how you would like to proceed. Sincerely, Kristi
