986 Words4 Pages

Morgan State University’s Student Regent has the power to implement powerful initiatives that uphold the university’s core values and prepares graduates to become the next world leaders. Therefore, it is imperative that the Student Regent familiarizes themselves with the goals of the university and has a strategy to create positive changes. The mission of Student Regent is to serve as the student liaison between the Board of Regents, the Student Government Association, and the student body. As Student Regent, I will commit myself to upholding the vision/mission of the university and constantly strive to reach the goals of the university.

Goal 1: Enhancing Student Success

Morgan State University is a prestigious and distinguished institution …show more content…

An integral part of improving and sustaining Morgan’s infrastructure and operating processes is creating an environment where students can comfortably voice their concerns and witness gradual changes. I will ensure students from all backgrounds recognize Morgan State University as their “home away from home” by holding informal Town Hall Meetings. These meetings will take place in different areas across campus that target different populations where students are surrounded by the Student Government Association and their peers. For example, immediately before or after Jummah Prayer on Friday’s at 1pm would be the perfect opportunity to have international students from Saudi Arabia voice their concerns. Students will have the ability to confidently share their opinions and complete surveys that outline their expectation of the university. Concerns will be addressed, surveys will be reviewed, and any solution implemented will be made public so that students will know that their voices …show more content…

Through an initiative called Reach Forward, Reach Back each class will encouraged to have exciting fundraising and community events that will raise funds for the class below them. For example, the senior class will have a community fundraiser that raises money for the junior class. Then, the junior class will have a fundraising event to raise money for the sophomore class. This will be a collaborative effort by each class and will therefore encourage networking and lasting relationships within the student body. Also, graduating seniors will be given the opportunity to donate funds to university and those funds will be used towards certain aspects of the university that students feels passionate about. For example, a graduating senior who feels the university needs more scholarships may donate money specifically towards this specific issue. By implementing this initative, students can graduate from the university knowing that they left an impact where they felt the university needed it the

    On a more serious note, many students complained that between classes and work, there was no time to enjoy the activities available on campus.

For example, during an interview about the school with the U.S. News & World Report, one student stated that ‘“They don’t really listen to what we want. There’s pretty strong feelings among students that they are not as important as they should be. The college is run on donations.

  • Analysis Of Loco Parentis Restricting Student's Autonomy

    2987 Words  | 12 Pages

    In Loco Parentis Restricting Student’s Autonomy The Latin phrase “in loco parentis,” which in Latin directly translates to “in the place of a parent,” refers to American universities controlling their student’s actions through discriminatory restraints (Lee 2011, 66). Universities and colleges during the 1960s were regulating student’s personal lives through administrative rules and would take disciplinary action, like expulsion, if broken. “From the mid-1800s through the late 1950s”, courts supported universities acting “in loco parentis” in respects to their students (Lee 2011, 66). Higher educational intuitions where not necessary acting how parents would; they where not honoring students for their academic achievements, but rather they

  • Closed Campus Policy

    The open campus policy allows select or all students to leave campus during the lunch period. Currently, ASFM has a closed campus policy, where students are not allowed to leave the campus during school hours. This is something that was removed in 2010 for several reasons since it affected the school in certain areas. The open-campus policy is something currently allowed in many high schools and colleges all around the world, which helps the institutes but at the same time affects them in some ways. The American School Foundation of Monterrey should maintain its current closed campus policy as it prevents students from skipping school or arriving late, protects their health and safety, and being unsupervised can lead to bad decisions and actions.
