RESOLUTION
No. 2009-10-5 AUTHORED
BY: Iban Rodriguez, Professional
Studies Representative Nathan Rudberg, Natural Resources and
Sciences Representative REFERRED
TO: AS COUNCIL ACTION APPROVED: 10-19-09 SUBJECT: Resolution
in Support of the Implementation of a System of Notification to Inform Potential
Students and Current Students of Category IV Programs Evaluated
for Elimination. RESOLVED: The Associated Students of
Humboldt State University recommend, in conjunction with the Provost, that the Office
of Enrollment Management (OEM) notify prospective and current students that
programs in Category IV are being considered for elimination. Such a system
should utilize: the HSU website, e-mail, letters, and telephone calls to notify
prospective and current students affected. RESOLVED: That the Associated Students
of Humboldt State University require that the resolution shall be sent to the
following: CSU Chancellor, Charles B. Reed; Executive Vice Chancellor and Chief
Academic Officer, Jeronima “Jeri” Echeverria; CSSA President, Steve Dixon; HSU
President, Rollin Richmond; Provost and Academic Affairs VP, Robert Snyder; HSU
Academic Senate; and OEM. RATIONALE: There is a need for a system of notifying students of the
potential elimination of the program in which they are enrolled. It would be
unfair to prospective and current students interested in Category IV programs to
enroll students without properly informing them of possible program elimination.
Dina Haigounian, a student member of the Provost’s Council, reported to the
Associated Students that she voted in favor of closing enrollment to programs
in Category IV. She also suggested that students be notified if the program
they applied for may be eliminated. The AS Council has received comments from concerned
students regarding Category IV programs considered for elimination. They are concerned
about the quality and value of the degree if their program gets eliminated and they
are forced to take substitute courses. Iban Rodriguez met with the provost on
October 14, 2009 about this matter. The Provost expressed his concern over the
possible effect on uninformed students. Additionally he talked about his
direction to implement such a system under the OEM. * Original Signature are on file in
