Items of Business
Degree Audit
- Several AAC members felt that the campus is not ready to go live with the audit process and would like to encourage Administration to hold off another quarter
- Transfer classes still not represented correctly.
- OAR to send out 3 emails to notify students of contact info. and extended hours of OAR
Streamlining Graduation Task Force
Shannon Stephens is to represent the Senate and Kris McKinlay will represent the AAC
Diversity
A majority of AAC members agreed that we should embrace the “crops house incident” as a teachable moment and educate the entire campus in issues of diversity. Suggestions included:
- Training for Faculty and Staff
- Make Administrations actions and ideas on the subject more transparent to students
- More substantial website devoted to issues of diversity
The AAC will develop a list of actions items and ideas should be emailed to Matt and/or Susan.
