The Grinnell College administration is separating the Division of Student Affairs (DSA) from the academic affairs division in an effort to allow for longer-term planning. It remains unclear, though, what concrete impact the changes will have, and students involved in disciplinary processes are wondering whether the new structure will do anything to fix the problems they have encountered.
The DSA, which includes Student Health and Wellness, Campus Safety, Center for Religion, Spirituality, and Social Justice, Intercultural Affairs, Residence Life and International Student Affairs, will now be independent of the dean, who oversees academic programs and faculty, the libraries, the registrar and other academic services. The change was announced by President Anne Harris in a March 8 email.

All recruitment agent aggregators are not created equal
A flood of private money into the education sector is not necessarily a bad thing. Providing students with choice and value is positive and doing so with maximum effectiveness and efficiency makes sense. When a single ship in the Suez Canal can disrupt international trade and a pandemic makes global movement risky or near impossible, there is even more reason to use technology to bring people together.
That is the siren call of the ‘aggregators’ in higher education, but there have been recent challenges questioning their transparency, efficacy and level of genuine concern for students.

Salt Lake Community College is Utah s largest open-access college, proudly educating the state s most diverse student body in eight areas of study at 12 locations and online. The majority of SLCC graduates transfer to four-year institutions, and thousands more are trained in direct-to-workforce programs.
SLCC just opened the Tim and Brenda Huval Student Center on the Jordan Campus, which will serve as a dynamic hub for students, supporting their success through student engagement opportunities, academic and career advising, financial aid, childcare, and a health and counseling center.
The University’s Multicultural and International Student Affairs division hosted Exhibiting African American Culture, an event meant to showcase African American talent and culture through the lens of the students that live on campus.
Dancers Cilicia Thornton and Diamond Lee, part of the student-organized Hip-Hop dance group Flipside, performed a spirited routine at the event, but first were three individual performances by Southeastern students. Biology major Angie Jacobs recited “Dear Black Man,” written by viral poet Ernestine Morrison Johnson.
Up next was Michelle Brister, a music major, who covered the classic soul song, “A Change is Gonna Come” by Sam Cooke on her electric guitar. Last of the individual performers was Claraion Hill, a senior early childhood education major, who recited “Phenomenal Woman” by Maya Angelou.
