On May 1, Jeff Huang, CMC’s current Vice President for Student Affairs, will take on a new role as Vice President for Admission, Financial Aid, and Student Affairs. The Port Side sat down with Dean Huang to discuss his new position.
So when it comes to governing our college, what are CMC students concerned about? When I arrived on campus in fall 2009, upperclassmen were abuzz about two things: the cancellation of Sunday night snack and the possibility that the new Dean of Students threatened our lenient drinking policy.
It is reprehensible that Dean Vos felt the need to manipulate scores upward, but his reasons for doing so might be more complex than we first assume. I hope that this scandal will result in some reflection about the “priorities” that, in part, led to this entire affair.
The O’Melveny & Myers investigation into the SAT scandal revealed that former Vice President of Admission and Financial Aid Richard Vos misreported more than just SAT scores. A look at the additional misreported data reveals the full extent of his deception.
Claremont McKenna would still be number nine on U.S. News & World Report’s list of best liberal arts college in the country had the college submitted correct data.
CMC’s ACT scores, percentage of students who were in the top ten percent of their high school class and admission rate were also falsified, a new report shows. The Port Side discussed the report with President Pamela Gann.
As their first order of business, the new ASCMC Executive Board invoked a section of the constitutional constitution to cut off the College’s ties with the other four Claremont Colleges, effectively declaring CMC’s secession.
President Pamela Gann, speaking to ASCMC Senate, announced Monday that the independent investigation into the SAT scandal is “nearing completion” and its report will be released publicly on the College’s website. Gann also discussed the College’s master plan, faculty hirings, and “globalization” programs.
Tonight, Claremont McKenna College President Pamela Gann will address students at the ASCMC Senate Meeting. This will be the first time that President Gann has spoken publicly with the student body since the SAT scandal hit the College at the end of January.
