WHAT DID WE FORGET TO PUT IN THE SELF STUDY?

 

The values are infused throughout the college and it’s planning activities.

We spend money upon students and learning rather than buildings and maintenance.

-Nyleta

 

The majority of the money goes towards the students/scholarships vs. support staff, maintenence workers, buildings

Look at being more concrete with a stated amount of the budget going towards academics/learning

Utilizing resource educators from other institutions/diverse fields (partnerships with other institutions: UMD, MSUM, Concordia)

-Group 

 

Sons and Daughters of Tradition

Language Tables

Brain Development Conference

Economic Summit 

-Group

 

Library is well funded for its size

WHAT HAS CHANGED SINCE WE WROTE THE SELF STUDY?

 

Faculty have a small budget now

Hopefully by the time we submit the self study we will have looked at budget as it relates to our priorities and learning outcomes.

More emphasis upon infusing the values throughout the whole college.

HOW DO WE ADD TO OR STRENGTHEN THIS AREA?

 

A piece of the planning process is missing. The Board of Trustees needs additional members. They need a quorum to make decisions.
