DEAN’S FORUM 11.02.05

ISSUES PRESENTED BY STUDENTS:
Diversity in faculty and in ways of thought (and student voice in affecting this)
Graduate school course options; incentives for undergrads to stay for grad school
Enrollment size
Concern over having UTA grads as faculty candidates
What is the future of the history curriculum?
We requested a student seat on the selection committee for all new hires (Professor Wright is who to see about it)
Formalize the process of master's thesis for those interested
Lack of integration of structures into design studio
New structural technology curriculum (ARCH 4321, let's further this)
Jury conduct and equal jury time for every student
OIT Technology Task Force (student participation requested, Professor McDermott heading it)
Basic security issues (recent thefts)

THINGS WE DIDN'T GET TO:
Concern over software being presented merely as a representational tool (vs. as a cognitive tool)
Desire for open book decision making (engage the website and newsletter)
Accessability and visibility of the dean around school (this is an open invitation into our studios)

THIS IS NOT AN ATTACK.
THIS EXISTS.
