Comments: All aspects of placing the forensic anthropology-related courses (this course and all the other currently proposed courses) into the schedule and lab facilities needed for the lab-related courses will be part of the intentional design of rolling up the crime analysis programming that is serviced by the CJ and anthropology department. Timing of development will need to fit within LAS budgetary capacity. |
