[La-cgs] Organizational Place for Graduate School or Studies

[Eddie Lyons]

To All:

McNeese is undergoing some organizational changes and I have been tasked with determining where the graduate school best fits as an organizational or administrative unit. Historically, we were a college under Academic Affairs with a graduate dean. Currently, we are a School of Graduate Studies with myself as current Director still under Academic Affairs. I am trying to determine where the School best fits and what the roles of the Director or Dean should be.  For example, could it fit within IRE units or as a new Administrative Unit merging Research Services and Sponsored Programs. If you could reorganize, how do you feel Graduate School should be best utilized and what authority over programs, etc.. should it have compared to the Academic Deans.  Additionally, how do you feel the Graduate School can best be supported by the university?

Thank you for your time and thoughts,
Eddie
