Eric Dinowitz
1:57:13

1:57:14

1:57:14

1:57:15

Eric Dinowitz
1:57:18
Oh, there's one more, see.
1:57:21
Okay.
1:57:22
And then anything else, it could be it can be required by
Jen Gaboury
1:57:26
Most faculty fact, most likely go out of their way not to have this information because It is such a burden when you signal that you are for a lot of faculty, they do not signal that they want to advise students.
1:57:47
I'd say this this is horrible to say I realize.
1:57:50
Because they don't wanna signal to students that I have knowledge that I can give to you on how to use x class for y class.
1:57:58
We're supposed to just outside of our department contacts, we're supposed to just send people to academic advising.
1:58:04
But also, there's some there are handfuls of people who have spent a lot of time basically acquiring the the kind of knowledge that some faculty have and that some of the professional advisers have.
1:58:21
But like, there that those are handfuls of us that have done that.
1:58:26
And it's not systematic.
1:58:28
And what you would need is workload credit and then agreement to have that workload credit have that training.
Eric Dinowitz
1:58:35
And then my last question, is there any requirement or requests that faculty upload or post online?
1:58:42
They're syllabus, curriculum?
Jen Gaboury
1:58:44
Absolutely.
1:58:45
Faculty.
1:58:46
Departments and programs absolutely require a faculty to post that as part of assessment and part of our accreditation Okay.
Eric Dinowitz
1:58:51

1:58:53
And lastly, we have miss Sharon Brown.
