Results of September 9 G/O Team meeting / UTS Barrytown

September 10, 2002
There follows the continuing results of the brainstorming about Goals. This was the second of four meetings on Goals associated with each of four different areas of the UTS statements of mission and purpose. Area 2 addressed our "core business" of teaching and learning from the viewpoint of the wants and needs of the student-consumer. Thus it referred to the need to provide spiritual formation, a good environment, student services, financial aid, the programs that students want, career guidance, placement, etc.
Again, there was little reflection on these lists of Goals; we pretty much accepted all suggestions. Analysis and sorting out will come soon. Report submitted by Tyler Hendricks.
