Academic issues group formed
By DAVID WHITE
Students now may voice their concerns about academic issues directly to the vice chancellor for academic affairs during informal meetings.
Del Brinkman, vice chancellor for academic affairs, and seven undergraduates are the first members of the newly formed Undergraduate Academic Advisory Board.
"It will help me to understand what things might not be working in the views of students, and it will provide me with information that might not reach me through other channels." Brinkman said recently.
Students met with Brinkman on Nov. 13 for the first time. Ruth Lichtwardt, Lawrence junior, said the group discussed some problems students were facing, including problems with the University advising system and the lack of enough place on campus for students to study.
“It’s a chance to just talk about what’s bothering students,” Brinkman said.
Tony Arnold, Wichita senior, developed the idea for forming the group from his experience in both student and administrative groups, such as the Student Senate and the Search Committee for Academic Affairs.
"I noticed a lack of student input in the proposed core curriculum," Arnold said. "I brought this to the attention
of the Student Senate. We then had hearings concerning it and discussed it with administrators. After all agreed, we passed a resolution to create more student input in other areas as well as in the proposed core curriculum."
Lichtwardt, a member of the Academic Policy and Procedures Committee, said the group members wanted to
Any student may join the group, which will meet occasionally
Arnold, who is a member of the Chancellor's Honor Scholarship Committee, said that the group was more flexible and not as structured as University government organizations.
"We have never really gathered student leaders who deal with academic issues for a meeting of this kind before." Arnold said.
The group consists of the head of the Student Senate Academic Affairs Subcommittee, the co-chairs of the KU Honor Scholar Association, a representative from the Chancellor's Honor Scholarship Committee and three students from the Academic Policy and Procedures Committee of the University Council.
The group is similar to the Presidents' Round Table, also an informal group, in which the leaders of various student organizations meet to discuss concerns. The Presidents Roundtable meets with the vice chancellor for student affairs, David Ambler.
