There are some strengths in
There are some strengths in this proposal, but it makes little sense not to include SWES in the grouping. They already have overlap with HWR and GEOS. Furthermore, (and my sincere apologies to SWES people who read this) the basic idea of having a second department that includes water as a prime part of its mission when there is a world-class #1 rated water department (HWR) in the university already is somewhat odd to begin with.
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:
Revamp – this proposal does not sufficiently address the Hispanic Advisory Council criteria and should be revamped
