Your Questions
• How does the Dean’s office anticipate our College’s zeal for undergraduate research will be supported or challenged by the Tuminez administration?
• Will the college remain committed to equal pay for incoming male and female faculty and staff?
• What are the COS’s plans to attempt to meet the challenge that Pres. Tuminez gave us to increase graduation rates to 45% in six years?
• Concern about dwindling research space.
