Resolution in support of Education Goals for the Baccalaureate Degree at

San Francisco State University

Whereas In 2005 the Academic Senate passed Policy #F05-237, Guidelines for the External Review of University-Wide Baccalaureate Degree Requirements at SFSU; and

Whereas With that policy the Academic Senate created the Graduation Requirements Task Force (GRTF), charged with “developing a plan for implementing changes to the current university-wide baccalaureate degree requirements based on a review of the self-study and the external reviewers’ recommendations, and broad consultation with the campus community”; and

Whereas After broad consultation with faculty, staff, student and with the Academic Senate, the GRTF has now produced a document that states the educational goals for the Baccalaureate at San Francisco State University; and

Whereas The GRTF continues to work toward re-designing the undergraduate program for the baccalaureate degree, including a revision of the General Education program; now, therefore, be it

Resolved That the Academic Senate commends the work of the GRTF, and endorses the document, “Educational Goals for the Baccalaureate at San Francisco State University”; and be it further

Resolved That the Academic Senate eagerly anticipates GRTF’s continued collaboration toward a revised program of university-wide baccalaureate degree requirements.
