[La-cgs] Fall meeting of the LA Council of Graduate Schools - November 3?

[Obadiah Simmons]

Hi Ramu & Colleagues:

I'd like to have placed on the agenda ... Increasing Graduate Student Enrollment.  I'd really like to hear what others around the state are doing to address graduate student enrollment.  Other than that, the agenda looks fine.

Dear friends:

I hope the new academic year is off to a good start for you all. Our
official headcount day was yesterday, and it seems we have a lot to be
thankful for.

When we met in Lafayette in March, we agreed to hold a Zoom meeting in
the Fall and a face-to-face meeting in Ruston during the Spring. No date
is going to be perfect for this busy group. So, the office-holders
Sushma, Nancy, and I propose Friday November 3, 1:00 - 5:00 PM for the
Fall meeting. We hope that most of you will be able to attend or have
someone represent you. Here is a tentative agenda and discussion leaders:

1) Updates from all members
2) Review of bylaws - Ramu (I will circulate a draft of any suggested
revisions ahead of the meeting)
3) Update from Spring:
     (a) UL System's policy on "transcripts from every institution
attended" - Mary/Nancy
     (b) health insurance for graduate assistants - ???
4) Compliance with Act 106 of 2023 (which amended Act 767 of 2022, thank
goodness!) - Ramu
5) ABM degrees - Sushma
6) 3MT competitions - Ash
7) Other items -- including deciding on the dates for the Spring meeting

That is a long list for one afternoon, so let us prioritize. James
Spencer, Mary, and I volunteered to look into 3(b), but we have not had
a discussion yet; so that may have to wait till Spring.

Please send your comments about these suggestions to the group. Motions
to vacate will be cheerfully entertained 😛

Best regards,
Ramu
