Conversations
with Chancellor Shepard: Public and Environmental Affairs December 14, 2001 |

We are in the undergraduate and graduate programs. We are cross listed with the same syllabi. Thesis committees. Graduate program more research is needed than in undergraduate program. We support economics and geography, disciplinary fields we offer many courses and, of course, need more resources. More administrative argument for disciplinary rather than interdisciplinary. Surveyors have 4 year program do we? NWTC has a two-year course (in next 12-18 months, something will happen). There is a huge demand for GIS (but not here). Four or five groups are needed for software, software applications, surveying, technical, NWTC students, GIS, professional already degreed. We are pro-growth. We need better support for more undergrad and grad programs. Resource issue needs to be answered to allow us to grow. Additional resources needed so 23-1 ratio can go down to 17-1. Our department has a hardship during sabbatical leaves we are stretching our resources very thin. Gender equity issues do not seem to be a problem in our area. Strike out the word ad hoc. Retention is an important issue we need to support new faculty. Everyone is so busy; no time to talk about teaching, so a network is needed. There is no institutional process in place to help this. Graduate programs concentrate on scholarship only need teaching experience also. No gender problem in this department. Need teaching help and support for new faculty. Faculty development program is needed besides teaching; remind them of how important scholarship is. The public doesn’t understand about our free outreach programs. |
