2011-11-15 00:00:00 | Lake Charles, LA | Staff |  | Q12.1 | Web | 1)  Have plans to abate all asbestos on campus within the next  7 years.  Budget for a systematic removal of all ACM known in all facilities on and off campus. 2)  When technology is mentioned most people think of computers and associated hardware/software.  An area that is overlooked and very much in need of improvement is mass com.  This area is very much behind the times as far as equipment and associated technology.  I have had needs to develop training programs for university personnel but do not have the capabilities nor funding to do so.  And, mass com has not been able to assist due to inadequate funding and equipment. | M45--This is a very admirable suggestion but 7 years may be a very difficult goal to achieve and extremely expensive. Often asbestos is in concealed areas and requires other componens of a building to be removed/replaced to accomplish removal, this is why asbestos abatement is generally done only in association with a renovation or when it is an immenient hazard. The mass comm issue should be addressed by another department. | M16--1) We agree;  2) This issue has been addressed with funding from TASC

More students will be willing to buy meal plan if they can also use the credits around restuarants close to campus. Increase research and degree programs that can utilize the swamp environment of this area. The pool facility is not being used very well.  Allow after school programs or swim classes to make use of the pool. | M28--This was proposed by a vendor when dining services went out for RFP in 2007 and would have resulted in an immediate 20% price increase to student dining plans, which resulted in that vendor not being selected. | M3--This is an option that should be considered when the current meal provider agreement ends.

2011-09-20 00:00:00 | BBC 121 | Faculty | BBC Bdg | Q4.263 | CC | Make graduate and alumni records available to colleges and encourage each college to build this community alliance | M11--The Alumni Office devotes a large portion of their time and resources to updating and maintaining the alumni list, which is then made available for college and departmental mailings for university approved purposes. | M56--If privacy issues allow, have departments form alumni networks, which may assist with the internship suggestion. Have this idea reviewed bythe MSU Alumni Association and academic departments.

2011-11-16 00:00:00 | Lake Charles, LA | Alumni | parent of current student | Q4.265 | Web | Make it harder to enroll.  Too many students aren't prepared for even the easy classes at McNeese.  Out of state students look upon this campus as a high school. Still have too many elevator breakdowns, requiring hardship on students who need assistance to navigate stairs. Still need safer intersection at McNeese/Common.  Crossing signals are not big enough!  Took way too long to even get this.  Need more laundry facilities on campus, if there is going to continue to be a cost added to campus housing bills. What is the point of "free" laundry, if you can never access it.  No food for students living in dorms, many are international or at least out of state...during many holidays, breaks. | M30--Minimum admission standards are set by the Board of Regents; however, the institution does review admission standards and makes changes as needed, keeping in mind both the need for qualified students and the need to serve the regional area by providing access to higher education. | M45--The construction of a new 900 space parking garage was started on June 11, 2012 and estimated to be completed in early spring 2013; it will have the capacity to add another level for approximately 300 additional spaces should there be a need and funding is available. With the completion of the parking garage and modifications to the parking regulations it should almost eliminate the need for commuter students to park off site of the main campus. But also the University has been and will continue to work with local community leaders and state DOTD officials to make improvements to the surrounding State and city streets in an effort to provide safe pedestrian passageway to the campus proper; with regard to the elevator the University is in the planning stages of a campus-wide elevator repair project which should help eleviate many of the chronic elevator problems on campus. | M26--Elevators are scheduled to be overhauled and maintenance should be completed soon. Students requiring accommodations due to not be able to use stairs should be referred to the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities. | M27--Enrollment is increasingly difficult with enhanced admission standards, and satisfactory academic progress requirements increase accountability among students for academic and financial aid issues; Out of state student perceptions should be studied by enrollment management, insititutional research, and marketing personnel to adjust message and methods of communicating collegiate culture and image; elevator issues, and other physical plant concerns related to persons with disability, are included in a multi-year project funding effort to improve and bring the campus into compliance and better condition; University officials continue to lobby city and state officials for improved traffic and pedestrian crossing instrastructure and are addressing the matter by increasing interior campus parking capacity; laundry capacity in residence halls is appropriate to the number of resident students and style of residential buildings offered;  providing dining options to students who reside on campus between breaks is a issue that merits discussion, and Chartwells has indicated interest in providing special fee-based services for students in this situation if volume permits doing so in a cost-effective manner. | M1--Several important observations here.

Lack of room limits degree programs, growth, attractiveness to other than local students, makes McNeese resemble a "community college" and not a university. Inability to attract and retain qualified engineering professors.  Not enough course classes offered to allow students to graduate per course catalog.  Limited choices for electives due to lack of teaching staff. Get rid of the SPUR program and stop subsidizing foreign students.

Moving the Colleges of Engineering and Mortuary Science to Chennault AFB during the 70's didn't work out very well. There is not sufficient housing for students, campus buildings continue to decay, and the teaching staff not of the same caliber as at Texas A&M, LSU, Auburn, or any other tier 2 school. | M45--Some of the comparisons made in this statement are based on opinions as the University is in the running often for well sought after faculty and have nationally and internationally recognized individuals in varying fields of study. Housing is at a sufficient level and with the addition of 150 beds at Burton Dorm it is more than enough to satisfy the demand. We have a large list of deferred maintenance however our current list of capital improvement projects will make great strides in addressing many of those items. | M2--consider comments in view of long range plans and State of Louisiana master plan for higher education | M27--Campus housing occupancy rates fluctuate between 92 and 95 percent occupied by mid term each fall and spring; adding 150 beds in the reconstructed Burton Hall should help address this issue; widespread availability of local apartment and rental house properties within a one mile radius of campus requires the University to proceed cautiously with expansion of student housing since such enterprises must be financiall self-supporting.

In CA, high schools had several fast-food counters in dining area. We can't even get one on a college campus? | M28--This is a great idea, but would require significant investment in capital improvements and brand/franchise fees by the University and is probably cost-prohibitive at this time.

2011-11-03 00:00:00 | Lake Charles, LA | Students |  | Q5.201 | Web | I think they should seize the opportunity to upgrade equipment.

2011-10-13 00:00:00 | Lake Charles, LA | Faculty |  | Q5.202 | Web | I think we may have a dangerous "opportunity" addiction.  We seem to be flying off into so many new and exciting directions (without a commensurate increase in manpower) that we seem to be pulling away from our core mission and responsibilities.  So, my suggestion here would be to take a breather from new opportunities until we take the time to decide which ones are REALLY going to make us a better institution (not looking only at revenue streams or enrollment numbers) and then ante up the investment in time and resources to make sure we do it right. | M1--We need to determine what things we do best and concentrate on those.
2011-11-01 00:00:00 | [NAME], Louisiana | Alumni,CommK12,Donor |  | Q5.203 | Web | I'm not sure about what opportunities exist that McNeese should seize.

Many times the students are given erroneous information! | M61--Holistic student advising (not just academic advising) should continue to be emphasized, and when funds permit, consideration should be given to establishing an advising center for all students, staffed with full-time professional advisors and committed faculty, and obtaining a robust advising system, such as DegreeWorks; The University should continue to offer advising workshops, perhaps with rotating themes, and General and Basic Studies and the  Faculty Advising Committee should continue to collaborate with faculty and staff to develop these workshops. | M33--We will continue attending college fairs at high schools and work to increase private visits.

2012-01-03 00:00:00 | Lake Charles, LA | Faculty |  | Q7.163 | Web | I think we need to look at issues of quality control.  As we move to hybrid and web courses we need to ensure that students are getting the same high quality of instruction.  Furthermore,  with the 40 students in web courses policy (even in hybrid) you are seriously overworking the web professor and either convincing them to NOT do web courses or to have to reduce the number of written assignments in order to grade everything for the double sized class.  It is a policy that needs to be rethought.  I think that courses that have more objective measures (test based courses) could have more students, but subjectively graded materials are very work intensive and doubling the size of a course that has over 15 written/project assignments is NOT a policy that will keep the quality where it needs to be. | M22--I really think that we have trained our instructors well in online learning and that the majority of the instructors do a great job in teaching. Just like in the f2f courses, there may be instructors that do a lesser job than others, but we try to keep our eyes and ears open and keep ourselves aware of these situations. | M2--the strategic plan for online education will include appropriate policy for enrollment; learning objectives must foster positive learning objectives

It is inexplicable to understand why a student from Pakistan, India, China, the UAE, etc. be afforded Louisiana resident tuition. 2) Concentrate on hiring better qualified professors.  Having a new Phd from China with no industrial experience teach engineering students what is expected of them in today's refining, petrochemical, etc. manufacturing environments is doing a disservice to the students.  I understand why Exxon, Chevron, Shell, Conoco, DOW, BASF, Marathon, etc. do not consider hiring McNeese graduates. 3) Recruit more local students or expand the campus so other than local students will have a place to live if they attend McNeese. | M67--Reconsider and assess requirements for scholarships and fee waivers for international students (the International Student Affairs Office supports the recruitment of highly qualified international students and corresponding international student scholarships). | M22--We have worked to increase the online programs.

[NAME] student 'types' (sociologically, psychologically, economically)  that are more inclined to drop out and those inclined to finish on-time (4 years) and develop programs for them, accordingly.   Many students are impressively 'poor' and cannot afford textbooks, for example; attack this economic weight in a proactive manner with specific solutions (I"m sure many have been offered).  [NAME]  the Greek "rush" experience to the second semester; I realize the sororities and fraternities are good at academics, but my focus is on those left out of this system, those excluded.  I have worked in this field on campus.  The experience of immediate acceptance into a society, or group, is as positive to those guys as is the negative experience of those being excluded; the student told they are not xyz "material" is powerful and saddening.  Each of those students must create, over time, a society or group to belong to.  They must experience exclusion within the 1st two months of their college experience.  I urge you to give this thought, and to turn to Tulane and other universities for their reasoning in moving 'rush' to 2nd semester. | M2--Refer to external communication committee; and to retention group | M61--A Retention Working Group has been established and will be reviewing retention data as well as strategic planning ideas to make recommendations. | M42--Careful and thoughtful assessments are an important part of developing a vision for success.

2011-10-06 00:00:00 | Lake Charles, LA | Faculty,Alumni |  | Q9.491 | Web | Service to community so that future students see that involvement and remember it. Close ties to the freshman students we do have which means the adviser student ratio should be decreased by placing students immediately with advisers in their majors. Students waiting a month to get in to see their adviser or hours in line during late registration is unacceptable. Students are simply not going to wait and go somewhere else or quit college all together. | M70--Service learning as a means of retention was added to the professional development session for faculty on 8/8/2012. | M30--Lessening the student-to-advisor ratio in General and Basic Studies would be ideal; however, that would require additional advisors. General and Basic Studies provides consistent service to advisees, while the advising provided by academic departments varies depending on the department and sometimes on the individual advisor. Transfer students are placed directly in the academic departments, and we get many complaints that students cannot connect with the advisors. We get relatively few of those complaints from the freshmen because we have full-time, 12-month advisors in place. | M71--Aids retention and the student's conncetion to the university. |  |  |  |  | M2
