MBA Fee Increase Update
It was reported at the Dean's Council last week that the Board of Trustees will likely consider the $210/credit hour fee increase for MBA programs at their May meeting. If it should pass, it is rumored to go into effect this year, Fall '08.

MBA Fee Increase Discussion Next Week
The Associated Students, at our next senate meeting, will be discussing what action to take on the resolution we passed calling on the Board of Trustees to reject the proposed $210 per credit hour fee increase for CSU MBA programs.
Recognizing the urgent need for additional resources to departments of business in the CSU, however, we will also be discussing possible alternative fee increase schedules that might reduce the burden and shock on any one generation of MBA candidates.
We are seeking input from current MBA candidates at Sonoma State. Our weekly meetings are always open to everyone. We meet from 2:30pm to 4:30pm in the Erin Fisher room on the second floor of the student union. I am also seeking input via comments to this blog or to my email.

Search for Dean of the School of Business & Economics
Hello all!
This is Nicolette, and I just wanted to give you a heads up regarding the search for our new dean. Perhaps you didn't know that a search was being conducted, or what a "search committee" even is. Allow me to explain.
SSU policy states that "certain positions of university-wide import, or administrative appointments requiring faculty representation, require a search committee to be formed to interview candidates and conduct the recruitment." School deans fall into this category. Membership of search committees include two members appointed by the President, one member selected by the Executive Board of the Associated Students and four members elected by the faculty or members of the affected unit.
I serve as the student representative on our current search committee, which is moving right along in our efforts to recruit a well-qualified individual for this position. We will be bringing several candidates to campus in the last week of February, and the first week of March. This is a GREAT opportunity for you to meet them and provide us with your feedback. When I have the specific times and places for you all to meet and greet with them, I will be sure to update this post.
Again, I would just like to stress the importance of having the faces of business and economics students at these open forums with the candidates, so please do your best to attend. This is a decision that affects everyone, so the more imput we have, the better.
Until next time!

Student Advisory Council, School of Business and Economics
The mission of the Student Advisory Councils (StAC) of Sonoma State University (SSU) is to foster communication among the students, faculty, staff and administration of the respective schools, Undeclared majors and Graduate students. This code applies to the SSU SACs as referenced in the Associated Students, Inc. of SSU Bylaws and the Executive Order 740 (Student Fee Policy).
The Student Advisory Council for the School of Business and Economics met twice last semester. Either the Dean of the School of Business and Economics or one of the Department Chairs is always present. The membership of the council is composed of the president and vice president of each of the departmental clubs and the two Associated Student Senators to the School of Business and Economics. All students within the School of Business and Economics are invited and encouraged to attend. This is your chance to connect with the school's leadership and get your voice heard!
The Council will meet four times this semester. The first meeting will be February 28, 2008 at noon. The Associated Students bulletin board by the office of the business department lists the meeting dates, times, location, the upcoming agenda as well as the minutes from the previous meeting.
Issues we hope to tackle include:
the business degree prerequisite program
promoting the Center for Advising and Placement
increasing participation in the internship program
We are always seeking student input either through this blog, through emailing your student representatives or by attending the Student Advisory Council in person.
Hope to hear from you soon!
