This proposal is also likely
This proposal is also likely to result in attracting future faculty, support staff and graduate students that support the University of Arizona's commitment to interdisciplinary instruction.
Another great thing about
Another great thing about this proposal is that it recognizes the already ideal model provided by the English Department as an interdisciplinary entity. Considering the strength and diversity of the English Department, an alliance with other units within a large College of Liberal Arts would be a great way to solidify and strengthen this University's commitment to language, literacy, and critical analysis.
The UA President’s Hispanic
The UA President’s Hispanic Advisory Council (HAC) is pleased to provide its evaluation of this White Paper/Proposal, with the specific goal of relating it to the joint UA/HAC goals concerning diversity and inclusion, recruitment, retention and graduation of Hispanic students and faculty, and on meeting the UA goal of becoming a Hispanic Serving Institution by 2012. Additional criteria used when reviewing this proposal include the following: UA’s land grant institution status and thus its location in the southwest and the changing demographics of this area; innovative program design, including instruction methodologies; and whether the proposal realistically addresses the UA’s business needs. HAC’s mission it to strengthen relationships between the UA and the diverse communities within the State of Arizona by serving as a communications conduit and developing mutually beneficial partnerships.
HAC has reviewed this proposal and rates this as:
An Excellent Model - this proposal could be used as a model for meeting the Hispanic Advisory Council criteria. We recommend that the proposal be moved forward and expanded.
