| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | For nearly a decade, Global Initiative (GI) has played an important role in the life of the College and Community. Through programming dozens of events we have provided high-quality academic lectures and cultural experiences for students, faculty, staff, and the Orange County community. Additionally, GI has provided faculty and staff with professional development opportunities and the chance to contribute their expertise to the College. Much of this has been a result of generous funding from the College Budget and private donors.
However, in the last few years, we have witnessed an erosion of programming that stems from declining financial support. We seek full funding of Global Initiative for AY 2020-2021 in order to restore these opportunities for our academic community. This requires a minimum of $5,000 and a 3-credit abatement for a Global Initiative coordinator.
As an academic institution, the College should pay careful attention to the fact that Global Initiative professionalizes and highlights the contributions of our community and serves the College's educational and community goals. Ultimately, we feel that because of its importance and relevance, this program should be growing, not contracting. |
