AFA Minutes and Reports 2007-2008

AFA Mission Statement:
The Committee on Admissions and Financial Aid shall consist of three members of the faculty, one of whom shall be chair, the dean of students, the director of admissions, and the director of financial aid. Two students shall serve as advisors. The students shall be one junior and one senior (elected in her junior year), elected by the student body from open nominations. Any member who is studying off-campus for a semester shall be temporarily replaced by another student chosen from a list of self-nominations and shall be voted upon by the Collegiate Cabinet.

The Committee shall confer with the Administration and Enrollment Management Team on such policy matters as admissions standards, recruitment and retention, and curricular and financial implications of admissions and financial aid. The Committee shall bring recommendations about requirements for admissions to the Faculty for approval.

This collaboration will focus on making decisions on special cases of admission, coordinating Faculty involvement in the admissions process, and reviewing admissions literature. The Committee shall also periodically receive reports from the Enrollment Management Team so that it can share this information with the Faculty.
