BROOKLYN COLLEGE

OF THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK

FACULTY COUNCIL

March 8, 2011

Resolution on Student Transfer

Whereas, The Brooklyn College Faculty Council appreciates the spirit of the Draft Resolution on the creation of an efficient transfer system, as proposed by the CUNY Office of Academic Affairs (OAA); and

Whereas, The Draft Resolution raises many issues, including the authority of local faculty governance bodies, curricula at different schools and degree levels, and the quality of general education; and

Whereas, It is absolutely necessary that the faculty governance bodies of each individual school or college examine the various issues involved in the standardization of curricula and credit totals mandated by the Draft Resolution; and

Whereas, This process will take time and cannot be rushed; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the OAA withdraw its Draft Resolution so the faculty governance bodies on the individual campuses can have the time they need to study the issues involved and propose possible modifications or alternatives before the OAA presents any such resolution to the Board of Trustees.
