Charges for the International Affairs Committee for FY-04

(Revised by SenEx on 9/16/03)

1. Elements of successful teaching for KU’s GTA’s who do not have English as a primary language.

Elements might include level of English training and support offered by the individual departments. This project is to evaluate the relative success of student teachers who do not have English as a primary language and to determine aspects of the individual and the assignment that might lead to more successful teaching. The committee would work with AEC personnel and various volunteer departments. The committee may determine that some forms of preparation are more valuable than others and provide the AEC with recommendations for University teaching requirements.

2. Use of tuition enhancement and/or other fees to support international study opportunities.

The committee would work with the Office of Study Abroad task force to determine if use of tuition enhancement or other student fees would be an acceptable use of student funds for students attending an international program in order to further the Universities international goals. The committee would make recommendations about levels of support and the method of allocation of those funds.

3. Submit to SenEx: a) the approved minutes of each meeting (minutes must be kept), b) recommendations for action as they are approved by the committee, and c) a final report by or before April 1, 2004. The final report should make clear what was done (or not done) about each of the charges to the committee and make recommendations to SenEx for action.
