Her perspective is that it is her responsibility to provide administrative support to the faculty to be able to carry out their programs and services. There are several topics she would like to discuss and ask the Senate to consider. Matriculation - Regina is willing to make a regular report on Matriculation, if the Academic Senate has concerns regarding matriculation and is interested in the matriculation plan and budget. Student success matters are clearly an academic and professional matter, and she would like to follow through and keep the Senate apprised of matriculation matters. She wants to ensure an Academic Senate tie-in and connection to matriculation.
Matriculation is the ultimate academic and professional matter in an institution of higher learning.
The various components of matriculation are all matters that affect student preparation and success. She asked that the Academic Senate identify to what extent it wishes to be involved, either through representatives or regular matriculation update reports to the Academic Senate. Prerequisites - She expressed her concerns relative to prerequisites, indicating that there are apparent discrepancies between the two colleges relative to prerequisites for some courses. There is a position, recently vacated by DeeDee Bicocca, that is responsible for the schedule of the validation process. The position is allocated .5 release time, and Regina asked the Senate to appoint a faculty member to this position by whatever process the Senate uses.
