The Role Of Student Affairs Personnel In Curriculum Planning In The Community College, Howard J. Freas

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

The assumption was made that student affairs professionals are not utilized in or only play a minimal role in the curriculum planning process in community colleges. The fourteen community colleges in Pennsylvania were contacted to evaluate the role of student affairs professionals in curriculum planning in these colleges. The results indicate that the student affairs professionals have a minimal role. The literature review suggests that curriculum planning models either do not exist in community colleges or are poorly defined. Since a curricular planning process is needed at Bucks County Community College, a process model based on Hunkins (1980) was proposed. …

Furthermore, the cumulative effect of a combination of missed classes and low grades caused by absenteeism contributes to dropping out of college. One purpose of this MARP was to determine the causes and measure the relative contribution of each cause to the problem of …

The ability of the Department of Defense to recruit and retain adequate members in the All Volunteer Force constitutes a significant political, economic, and social issue.
