Allow faculty, student and administrator input on administrators. Departments that have resources to begin new programs, with accountability, should develop programs that improve the educational opportunities for all students. Proliferation of courses throughout the different departments that are essentially the same in nature is not cost effective - these type courses can and should be interdisciplinary and thus save resources for other pursuits. This affects morale of that important academic body of the University. Realistic evaluations help the faculty and administrators develop effectively in their respective roles.
Poor evaluations can maintain the status quo and improvement is minimal.
To empower students the committee recommends that the Oracle be encouraged to publish the minutes of the Student Government Association and the Faculty Senate in order to keep students better informed. Input from students can be obtained in this manner. Develop a model for assigning interested students to University committees. Make the University catalog a recruiting tool by making it attractive and inviting. Encourage each unit to implement policies and procedures that would meet student needs.
