The African American
The African American Advisory Council would want to insure that Transformations processes including consolidations and workforce reductions would not erode The University of Arizona's efforts to recruit and retain diverse faculty, students, and staff.
There are a few questions
There are a few questions that this proposal raises that need to be addressed before it moves forward:
1) Would those Creative Writing Graduate Students who teach for the Writing Program still teach first-year writing?
2) If not, how would they get funded?
3) Would this move focus the CW program on Poetry?
4) Do we want to focus our efforts on producing poets?
5) What happens to those CW students who write fiction or creative non-fiction?
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 gradution 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 instructional methodologies; and whether the proposal realistically addresses the UA's business needs. HAC's mission is 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 parnerships.
HAC has reviewed this proposal and rates it as:
A Quality Proposal- should move forward and be further developed with the above UA Hispanic Advisory Council criteria in mind.
