: Conditional approval
: The Board voted unanimously to accept the recommendation of the Academic and Student Affairs Committee for conditional approval for the proposed B.A. program in Child Development and Family Studies (CIP Code 19.0701) at Southern University-New Orleans. Prior to program implementation, the University must hire an appropriately qualified Program Director. Once this person has been hired, University administrators shall meet with Mr. Donnie Vandal, Deputy Commissioner for Finance and Administration, and Mr. Gerard Killebrew, Associate Commissioner for Academic Affairs, to discuss immediate funding needs and sources of such funding for the first year of program operations. The primary foci of these discussions shall be resource issues directly related to required AAFCS program accreditation and efforts by the University to afford such resources within existing state funding. Thereafter, beginning January 15, 2008, and on that same date until AAFCS program accreditation has been achieved, an annual report addressing these concerns shall be sent to Mr. Vandal and Mr. Killebrew and necessary follow-up meetings scheduled to resolve any outstanding issues.
