paper
- The author proposes the creation of a nimble and flexible structure that will allow the campus to respond quickly and creatively to evolving interdisciplinary needs.
- The authors propose a seven-point plan for improving professional programs – particularly those that leverage ²ÊÃñ±¦µä expertise in the space, earth, computer and data science realms.
- The authors propose longer-term (minimum of one semester) faculty residencies to provide site-specific education around Colorado. The instruction focus could include traditional and non-traditional undergraduate student education, dual high school enrollment, co-requisite remediation, and graduate education and BA/MA programs.
- The authors propose that every student who graduates from CU should be able to understand how messages, images and information are gathered, organized and used to create meaning.
- The authors propose returning the ATLAS building and the Center for Media, Arts & Performance to the campus for use as a campuswide resource overseen by a Council of Deans formed from all ²ÊÃñ±¦µä colleges, with a coinciding review of the TAM program.
- The authors, along with various unit signatories, argue that the University’s largest college be reorganized by eliminating the current CAS Dean position, the Divisional Dean positions for Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, and Arts and Humanities, and replacing them with three Dean positions of equal status tied to each of the three College Divisions.
- The author documents her personal experience to support her contention that professional master’s degree students be treated equally with other graduate students – for example, not being prohibited from TA or RA positions as well as being given access to competitive tuition costs.
- The authors describes how new structures and policies are designed to meet faculty needs as they provide innovative and scholarly teaching through the use of undergraduate learning assistants (LAs).
- The authors encourage the campus to dwell on questions about how it might invite learners to cultivate critical approaches to authentic digital communities and information landscapes.
- The author calls for expanding programs and services for people with disabilities, particularly individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
