VIII. Updates from Admin | |
• VIII-A-2-b. Advising Report | CCSPA Motion: We would like to remind administration that the IFO and MSUAASF have different contracts, and members of the IFO are professors, not advisors. The Metro State Advising Expectations document appears only to apply to MSUAASF advisors, despite stating that it is a shared expectation for IFO. (Seconded. Motion Carries). Rationale: Faculty have five criteria and advising is only a portion of one of the five criteria (IFO Contract, Appendix G). We would like to see that this language (dual reference to IFO and MSUAASF), in the document titled Advisor Expectations, be removed. |
Adjournment | CCSPA meeting adjourned at 12:32pm |
