The intent is to have all three Senates “approve” the statement before forwarding to the President for his final decision. Once this is complete, the plan is for the statement to be included in an appropriate place within the catalog, utilized in admission’s materials for new students and serve as a central feature of the Office for Faculty Development and Student Success’ mission."Wichita State University is strongly committed to providing a quality experience for all students in their first year of enrollment.
