Liaison List

Most curricular proposals require liaison with other academic units. The purpose of contacting faculty in other departments is to gather feedback about the quality of the proposed changes.

A minimum of three Academic Liaisons is required for all proposals.

  • For new and change program proposals, a minimum of two Academic Liaisons must be from outside the college associated with the Originating Academic Unit; the remaining liaisons can be from within the college but must be outside the Originating Academic Unit.
  • For new and change course proposals, a minimum of one Academic Liaison must be from outside the college associated with the Originating Academic Unit; the remaining liaisons can be from within the college but must be outside the Originating Academic Unit.

For more information, see OSU's liaison policy.

The tables below list which OSU faculty and staff are assigned as liaisons for each department. Liaisons are determined by the college or academic unit.
