Help for international students, enrollment issues, FLEX offenders, faculty being hired and the mall construction were some of the topics covered in Monday’s Academic Senate meeting.
International Students Club President Sina Ghiabi asked for help for international students who have been attending Pierce for less than one year because they are having trouble adding enough units to keep their visas.
Ghiabi suggested getting more classes or programs so that international students can get the units they need.
Richard Follett said he thought the “school had an obligation to help international students get enough units.”
As a result of this a task force will be established to see if they can help international students get a certain number of units said Diane Levine, vice president of the Academic Senate.
