SGA passes student expectations of faculty
The Student Government Association passed Resolution no .8, in a 23 to 1 to 1 vote, implementing a faculty expectations form.
The expectation form complements the Reason, Respect and Responsibility philosophy implemented at Georgia College & State University. This form will function as a statement of the students’ expectations of GC&SU faculty and staff.
This form will be provided to each faculty, informing them of the
students’ increased level of honor, but it will not serve as a faculty code of conduct.
Prior to the SGA resolution, GC&SU’s student body lacked a student expectation code for the faculty members.
The student expectations of faculty members code states that faculty should do as follows.
1. Show a positive attitude toward the course material.
2. Treat students with dignity, fairness and respect.
3. Refrain from requiring additional course material, such as lab and exam hours, if it is not within the scheduled time for the appropriate class.
4. Allow for student consultation outside the classroom by appointment and office hours.
5. Be evaluated by students and peers to assess specific student learning outcomes and teaching effectiveness.
6. Correct and evaluate all student work in a timely fashion.
7. Use campus resources for teaching in order to effectively promote student learning.
8. Give notification with ample time given to students upon the alteration of class syllabus.
9. Observe and enforce the regulations and procedures regarding academic dishonesty.
In other news, the Student Government Association tabled Bill no. 5, in which the Economics and Investments Club was requesting the allocation of $800.
The newly formed club was seeking money to open a stock brokerage account. The account would then allow the club to gain practical investing experience.
Devlin Copper, the president of EIC, stated that although the club is open to all students, the organization has problems obtaining funding from other resources.
“What we are looking for is start-up capital,” Copper said. “The club will reinvest any money earned; we will not be making any money.”
J.W. Mozley, a sophomore senator, stated that SGA should not allocate money to EIC because it would be too much like gambling.
“The money that we allocate to the student organizations comes from
the student activity fees,” Mozley said. “This would be gambling the students’ money, and I feel that many of the students would object.”
After much discussion, SGA tabled the bill until next week.
