ASEC Input Request

Academic Structure Exploratory Committee (ASEC)
Request for Input

Message forwarded from Brian Lofman, Co-Chair ASEC

The Academic Structure Exploratory Committee (ASEC) will be holding an open forum for faculty on Wednesday, January 21 from 10:30 to 12:30 in B-114. We are interested in perceived advantages and disadvantages of the current academic structure (Schools, convening groups, etc.) and related issues from faculty perspectives. The time available for speaking will depend partly on the number of faculty in attendance and the content (proposal, commentary, etc.).

Please let me know if you plan to attend on January 21 so that we can guage how many faculty will be in attendance. Additionally, let me know if you have a request as to how much time you will need if you plan to present a concrete idea or make substantial comments. The Committee and the larger community would greatly appreciate it if you could put your ideas in writing as some faculty have already done (http://phobos.ramapo.edu/facassem/asecpage.html). This will assist the Committee as we continue to deliberate.

Many additional opportunities for input and participation will be available during the Spring term, such as during In-Service Day activities, in Unit Council Meetings, and at Faculty Assembly Meetings. Some forums will allow
direct discussions with or presentations to the Committee or its representatives, such as the forum on January 21.

Sincerely,
Brian Lofman
ASEC CoChair
