Merenstein, K. Koh, C. Liard-Mauriente, L. Marchese, S. Sweeney, J. Bryant, S. Costanza, E. Thornton, B. Sevitch, B. Hosch Minutes (Tentative): A presentation on general enrollment was presented by Braden Hosch of Institutional Research. It was suggested that the real measure of university success was not graduation, but GPA. Mr. Hosch showed that GPAs do not change much over time, and that a persons class rank was the best measure of whether they will graduate or not. Larry Hall and Leah Skinner from University Admissions were asked to speak on the issue of diversity. Mr. Hall explained that due to current financial conditions, CCSU would have to form a wait list for the first time in university history. Mr. Hall explained that the average SAT score for college students was 1050, but that the average SAT score for minority students at CCSU is 989. Mr. Hall was asked about university policy and how the wait list might affect minority students. He was also asked whether a quota system might be a good idea. Mr. Hall responded that he did not know of any way we could help as a committee, but that the situation will probably take about 2 or 3 years to improve. No motion was proposed. Dr. Fallahi asked Mr. Hall how the national economy would affect students of color. Mr. Hall replied that everyone would be impacted negatively, but equally. Mr. Hall said that there would be an open house on April 4th. He suggested that open communication between students and faculty could serve to promote student enrollment. As a side note, Mr. Hall stated that on Immediate Decision Day, only 2 students of color were counted. This was met with general disappointment by the committee. Mr. Hall, Ms. Skinner and Mr. Hosch were thanked for attending. Dr. Marchese reminded the committee of the Carlos Cortes event on March 16th. She announced that lunch would be coordinated with EOC students and that 10 students had already signed up. Dr. Marchese was still awaiting LASO feedback about the lunch event. She also discussed coordination of the lighting. Dr. Sweeney suggested that an upcoming Deans meeting should be used to popularize the event. It was announced that the Presidents Diversity Task force have been in recent contact with the Arts and Sciences Diversity Committee to come up with a Diversity requirement. Since Dr. Merenstien has been working with curriculum all year to develop such a requirement, this was attributed to an oversight. Dr. Fallahi offered a suggestion that efforts among different Diversity committees across campus be coordinated to facilitate diversifying the curriculum. A motion was made by Dr. Fallahi to invite the Chairperson of each committee to one of one of our meetings to facilitate coordination. The motion was seconded by Dr. Sweeney.
