The Ithacan

The Ithaca College Faculty Council discussed plans for how to respond to a potential shutdown because of the new coronavirus at its March 3 meeting. 

David Gondek, associate professor in the Ithaca College Department of Biology, presented revisions to the ICC to the Faculty Council.

Faculty Council met Oct. 1, and discussed the future of summer sessions because the college lost $250,000 in revenue after increasing the tuition discount.

The Ithaca College Contingent Faculty Union is raising concerns that the college is not abiding by its contract with the union.

Ithaca College announced April 11 that the Integrative Core Curriculum (ICC) Program Review Committee has finalized its report on the ICC.

Ithaca College announced that Susan Adams Delaney has been selected to serve as the director of the Integrative Core Curriculum.

Despite the student body’s criticisms of the Integrative Core Curriculum, no students showed up to the two open sessions with external evaluators.

Rather than merely voicing our grievances to one another and posting on social media, students should voice their concerns to people who are actually capable of making change on our campus.

Moving forward, the committee should continue to review and consider the data it has collected on the ICC, albeit with more transparency.

Representatives from the Office of Analytics and Institutional Research spoke to SGC about the 2019 National Survey of Student Engagement.

As students, it is important to know that you have power and the ability to make changes to your academic experience.

Since the ICC impacts the entire student body, it is the campus community’s duty to be proactive in finding a resolution to the issues that remain with the curriculum.
