        PPM 4-19 - Grading Policies (exerpt)            Synopsis of   Committee Discussions

Charge #3 states: Review existing policy and consider requiring programs (such as developmental and other gateway programs) to submit to some mechanism of review for changes to their program admissions/placement standards when those changes impact students and other programs across the University.

 

Our questions regarding this charge are -

 

1.       Is the term “gateway program” intended to include only developmental (remedial) programs or to be interpreted more broadly? If applied more broadly, how should a gateway program be defined?

2.       What contact person (most likely the person who brought the charge to Executive Committee) can ASSA talk to or meet with for clarification?

3.       What example(s) exist to illustrate the type of concern Charge #3 is intended to address?
