Urban Studies
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. Hartman '57, assistant professor of City Planning, and repeated calls for the ouster of GSD Dean Maurice D. Kilbridge.
Now that things have quieted down, the council thinks the Faculty should again grant the degree.
