This proposal removes the "writing" and "diversity" requirements from the CMPT lower-division.
The spirit of the CMPT diversity requirements is now satisfied by the University-wide WQB requirements. The WQB requirements are not identical to the CMPT requirements being removed, but they are quite close. This will eliminate confusion among students as to what the "breadth" requirements are.
