Painters and sculptors need ventilated space. At present, there are 3 spaces for graduate students, which are not adequately ventilated for solvent use. While not required to start the MFA program, these upgrades are highly desirable. Graduate students need to continue their use of periodicals and access to media facilities. If the current periodicals continue to be supported it will provide part of the need for library resources.
Graduate students use studio facilities more than undergraduates.
They will be taught maintenance as part of their program and this will offset their greater use of the facilities. Their maintenance activities will not serve to replace equipment that is completely worn out. The UAF Faculty Senate moves that post-baccalaureate teacher licensure programs be subject to graduate policy and regulations and that students in the licensure programs be considered graduate students. UAF Graduate School Admission Standards apply to the post-baccalaureate licensure programs. Students in the post-baccalaureate certification programs are counted as UAF graduate students.
