Adding approval for LALS-M as an online/web based delivery.

Several SPAN and HIST courses that are part of this minor are already approved for online delivery. So, this program only needed the development of one to two additional courses to be available online.

Online delivery will open this minor up to be available to more students and gives more variety of options for the already existing IDSTBA (4a_lals-m_report_03152024).

Meeting adjourned at 2:36 p.m.
