COUNCIL ON STUDY ABROAD (CSA)

DESCRIPTION

The Council on Study Abroad (CSA) functions in an advisory capacity to the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs through a designee, the Director of the UHM Study Abroad Center. Its fundamental charges are to recommend policy and advise on proposed Study Abroad academic programs in terms of their feasibility and consistency within established guidelines. CSA members collectively must employ a wide range of academic expertise outside of a specific discipline to be certain that high quality is maintained uniformly across all of the Study Abroad programs and to provide oversight, assessment of academic soundness, and evaluation of pedagogical achievements and ensure that the Mission of the SAC is achieved. Any UHM credit course that is offered abroad, except for those falling into the category of “Field Studies Programs” must be reviewed and recommended for approval by the Council on Study Abroad as outlined in the Program Section of this document. In addition, the Council is the Curriculum Committee of the UHM Study Abroad Center that reviews and gives final approval to the academic content of the program.

CSA is comprised of faculty according to certain constituency requirements. A prospective CSA appointee's Study Abroad experience and or demonstrated interest in study abroad are to be taken into consideration when appointments are made.

After considering the Council on Study Abroad's nominations for membership, the Mānoa Faculty Senate nominates faculty to serve three-year terms as current member terms expire.

GENERAL EDUCATION COMMITTEE AND BOARDS (GENED)

DESCRIPTION

GEC develops policies and procedures for implementing and monitoring General Education at UHM, and undertakes regular assessments of the effectiveness of General Education. The GEC and its subsidiary Boards include faculty from diverse backgrounds.

General Education is composed of one committee and five boards:

  • General Education Committee (GEC)
  • Foundations (F) Board
  • Contemporary Ethical Issues (E) Focus Board
  • Hawaiian, Asian, and Pacific Issues (H) Focus Board
  • Oral Communication (O) Focus Board
  • Writing Intensive (W) Focus Board

The General Education Committee is a standing committee of the Mānoa Faculty Senate. It is the policy-setting entity for General Education on the campus and oversees the five General Education boards. Its chair and vice-chair are both Senators. Five instructional faculty members, one faculty specialist, and an ASUH representative are the other voting members on the committee. Meetings are normally held every other week for an hour.

The Foundations (F) Board is responsible for vetting proposals from departments for Foundations courses: in writing (FW), in symbolic reasoning (FS), and in global and multicultural perspectives (FG). It has seven voting members: three faculty, one each with special responsibility for FW, FS, or FG; one member representing first-year programs; and three more faculty "at large." Proposals are reviewed via Laulima by all Board members and then discussed and voted on at meetings. Lately, it has been meeting 5-6 times a semester.

The Contemporary Ethical Issues (E) Focus Board, the Hawaiian, Asian, and Pacific Issues (H) Focus Board, and the Oral Communication (O) Focus Board are responsible for vetting proposals for their respective Focus areas. Each Board has five voting faculty members. Proposals are reviewed via Laulima by all Board members, and then discussed and voted on at meetings. There are typically 4-8 hour-long meetings per semester.

The Writing Intensive (W) Focus Board is responsible for vetting proposals for W Focus courses. In addition to three ex-officio members, it has seven voting faculty members: one from each of the four Arts and Sciences colleges, two from professional schools, and one from an advising office. Unlike the other Focus Boards, the entire W Board does not review all of the proposals. Instead, each Board member reviews the proposals from his/her assigned Schools/Colleges. The Board generally has 5-6 hour-long meetings each semester.

After considering the General Education Committee's nominations for membership, the Mānoa Faculty Senate nominates faculty to serve three-year terms as current member terms expire.

INFORMATION LITERACY WORKING GROUP (ILWG)

DESCRIPTION

The UHM General Education Committee (GEC) established the Information Literacy Working Group (ILWG) in Fall 2012. The Mānoa Faculty talked the GEC with reviewing how information literacy is being taught across the curriculum. A draft agenda for the group's work includes:

  • Establish a working definition of information literacy
  • Review the General Education Foundation, Focus and Diversification areas to
  • See whether and how information literacy is included in UHM's graduation requirements
  • Review existing undergraduate departmental SLOs to see whether and how information literacy is currently being taught at UHM

The ILWG's work will help to establish proficiencies and guide assessment for one of WASC's proposed "five pillars," i.e. criteria for review:

  • Written communication
  • Oral communication
  • Quantitative skills
  • Critical thinking
  • Information literacy

Members of the working group do not need to be on Mānoa Faculty Senate. Faculty from all disciplines were welcomed to help define and identify both generalized and discipline-specific information literacy skills.

MANOA EXPERIENCE WORKING GROUP (MEWG)

DESCRIPTION

In Spring 2010, the Mānoa Experience Working Group was formed by the Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs. The Working Group is chaired by Professor Jon Osorio; faculty from Hawai’inuiakea School of Hawaiian Knowledge, members from Mānoa's accreditation teams, representatives of the faculty senate, and administrators have been actively involved in developing a process for facilitating a discussion among students, alumni, and other campus stakeholders.

In Summer 2010, a survey was sent to Mānoa alumni soliciting feedback about their Mānoa experience. Over 800 responses were received from alumni spanning graduates from 1950 through 2010. The survey responses serve as a springboard for focus group conversations.

MEWG issues include: What makes the Mānoa experience unique? In what distinctive and fundamental manner should students be changed by virtue of their experience with Mānoa? What core values and competencies should students develop by way of the Mānoa Experience? What do we mean by Hawaiian Place of Learning and Hawaiian sense of place? How do we reflect this in our curriculum and student and campus life?

The MEW's charge is tentatively complete. The committee will only meet as needed.
