Hell of lot more potential employers in the QC than Macomb is one reason I can think of. Much more convenient to reach out to them from QC.Tere wrote:Thu Jan 01, 1970 4:58 am Undergraduate Admissions & Enrollment Services and Retention Initiatives will move to the Division of the Vice President for Student Success, led by Interim Vice President John Smith, and Financial Aid will move to the Division of the Vice President for Finance and Administration, which will be led by Paul Edwards, beginning July 1.
This makes sense, but:
First Year Academic Advising will report to the Provost's office, led by Provost and Academic Vice President Manoochehr Zoghi; while the Center for Career Preparation and Employer Engagement will report to Vice President for Quad Cities Campus Operations Kristi Mindrup.
Why would you dissociate the first-year advisors from the retention efforts of these students?
Why on earth would you move "Career Services" to the QC? That campus predominantly serves already employed part-time students.
When the BOT said bold decisions, they should have clarified, bold and sensible.

Yes, there are more employers to touch base with in the QC, but "Career Services" is there to help the students, not help the employers.sealhall74 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 1:30 pmHell of lot more potential employers in the QC than Macomb is one reason I can think of.

It was more about getting rid of someone who was actively not listening to what the BOT was telling them needs to happen. If you listen to the most recent BOT meeting you can probably figure out who.34blast wrote:Bureaucratic nothing burger. Rearranging deck chairs on the titanic.
I don't have the correct answers, but WIU needs transformational changes not this.
Absolutely agreed, Scott. She just wasn't getting the message, yet, she actually thought the meeting went well.ST_Lawson wrote: ↑Wed Jun 28, 2023 5:30 pmIt was more about getting rid of someone who was actively not listening to what the BOT was telling them needs to happen.

I think this is just a first step towards bigger changes in how scholarships and discounts are awarded that will save the university a substantial amount of money.
