The MSA Council serves as the faculty advisory and policy-recommending body for the (interdisciplinary) MSA. In performing its function, the Council should be concerned with the development of the curriculum and the evaluation of programs and policies pertaining to the MSA program both on campus, off campus, and online. (Adapted from formal charge.) Since being appointed to the Council, I have been involved in the final review of a grade grievance as well as discussions exploring the merger between the MSA Council and the Off-Campus Academic Council.
