Part V
Errata and Addenda

• In the Institutional Report, all references to the master's degree in Technology Education should be changed to the master's degree in Career, Technical, and Workforce Education. This program has had a name and structure change that has been approved and included in the 2003-2005 Graduate Catalog.

• Business and Technology Education Assessment Plan for Business Services and Technology Education Fall 2003."

• References in the Institutional Report and the Exhibits to "four years" of data from a survey provided and processed by Educational Benchmarking, Inc. (EBI) are incorrect. The fourth year data were, indeed, gathered from the student teachers of the Fall 2002 and Winter 2003 semesters. The original mark-sense forms were sent to EBI via United Parcel Service (UPS). At the time of writing the Institutional Report and related Exhibits, the processed data from EBI were expected at any time and the plans were to incorporate those data into the relevant Exhibits. Eventually, EBI was contacted about our not having received the usual reports. EBI said that they had not received data from EMU this year. A tracer was placed on the UPS parcel that contained all the original forms. UPS has been unable to trace or locate the package and it is presumed lost. Both EBI and UPS have offered to "settle." As a result, the "fourth consecutive year" of data are unavailable, although gathered, and we have only three years of data to report at this time.

• In Standard I.F, Exhibit 2.10, and elsewhere in our materials, there is reference to the use of the "Red Flag" process in connection with the assessment of dispositions. There have been two instances thus far where a student has left the program because of a "Red Flag" related matter. In both cases the student was issued one Red Flag, which requires the student to come in and meet with Alane Starko, the Head of the Department of Teacher Education. In both cases the students refused to meet with Dr. Starko and chose to leave the program instead.

  The causes of the Red Flags were, in the first case, a student who behaved so badly at the state testing center that security became involved and EMU authorities were contacted. In the second case, Dr. Starko made the judgment call that three separate faculty concerns were sufficient, in total, to constitute a Red Flag. The concerns were about inability to work in groups, inappropriate class comments, and related serious lack of appropriate social interactions.
