The African American Advisory
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.
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 20012. Additional criteria used when reviewing this proprosal 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 partnerships.
HAc has reviewed this proposaland rates it as:
Not sufficiently addressing the above UA Advisory Council criteria and the proposal should be revamped.
I would really like to see
I would really like to see this happen. I am currently a geosciences undergraduate (which I do like very much) because atmospheric science (my passion) is not available to me as an undergrad. I think it is a great idea, and not only does it make sense, but it will make previously unavailable programs available to many students. I think this will help with student retention.
