b) Informational Presentation: Ted Ruffalo, PSGA President, on Vote Rally

 

c) Update on the 1 + 3 proposal with Gateway Technical College             

 

                The proposal from Gateway Technical College is designed to allow Gateway students to transfer 30 or so credits from Gateway to UWP, and thus earn a 4-year degree in a  “1 + 3” format.  These 30 credits might satisfy some or all of our Gen Ed requirements, and a student would be required to sign up for the program immediately upon commencing their studies at Gateway.   The proposal was sent to the Gen Ed Committee and APC, for their review.  These committees found that more information, especially syllabi, was required from Gateway before approval of the program could be considered.  Syllabi have been received by APC (but not by the U.C.) and have been circulated to department Chairs for their consideration.  The Administration would like to have a response from the faculty Senate.
