In Progress
The Faculty Council decided this week to put on the docket for the next Faculty meeting a motion to reinstate the Ph.D. degree in Urban Studies, a Graduate School of Design program. The Faculty took away the Ph.D. program three years ago, when the planning department of the GSD was in the middle of a controversy that led to the firing of Chester W.

Now that things have quieted down, the council thinks the Faculty should again grant the degree.
