Guest Speakers –
a. Professor Tracy Slagter – Interim Director University Studies Program
Frequently asked questions: Is USP only here or practiced at all UW systems? Answer:
UW Oshkosh way to do general ed just the way designed to start 2013 deliver general
education that we think is better, faculty each other different learning communities.
Largest complaint – student scheduling paired courses or see your advisor your advisor
can always help you find your way around that, always evolving, cant schedule anything
let her know. The USP Advisory groups meets every Thursday morning to go through
problems and find solutions to them only way the program continues, scheduling for
guest II easier variety of classes study abroad classes as quest developing much more
interesting if we can go somewhere else. If don’t hear from students difficult to make
changes if other students coming to you come to her or anyone up here on the OSA Exec
Board and make sure it will get to her. STAND as the USP program brought more
students here but difficult for transfer student? Answer: In fall transferred only changed
transfer student policy so complicated coming in with 15 or fewer take it more than that
just fulfil general ed. How do we contact you? Answer: email - usp@uwoshledu. Tracy
Slagter, stop by Pollock or call (920) 424-1257 always reach a friendly voice and will get
it right away during fall when quest 1 students come in, any advisors have a direct link to
us. Advanced comp last semester goals liberal specific goals of USP initials involved
with five top schools for liberal arts education how do you take a public school and give
it liberal arts, answers are much more. Some of the students in Assembly are peer
mentors in 2014 may be asked to help in training or if Debbie emails you please respond,
the training is April 26.

elections tomorrow, mayor elections, state supreme court eldest something to
throw out there eldest gets the seat or elected in. Email retirement plan previously
60 down to 55 broader the base of who could utilize, if you have any questions
come talk to him afterward. Trip to Madison - joint finance committee, 300
million won’t stay but could be 250, both parties not in favor of such a large cut.
Tenure a lot of members guaranteed a spot of academic freedom unless morally
one against it and looking into review process 10 or so years and shared
governance four groups students, academic, too bureaucratic and limits them to
get things completed.
