Who will be making the decision of approved instructors for the regional campus sections?
All instructors will be selected through the application process. Regional campuses coordinators will be given access to applications to select instructors. However, all selected instructors (at all campuses) must be approved by the UC-CAC to ensure instructors meet qualifications as outlined in University Policy 3-02(B).
Will there be a “clearing out” of those who have previously taught the course and they are now no longer approved unless they apply, meet the requirements, and are offered the position?
Anyone who wants to teach Flashes 101 must apply, be selected, and be approved by the UC-CAC, regardless of whether they have taught before.

Can “tested experience” (experience in lieu of a master’s degree) be considered?
Tested experience is typically reserved for extraordinary or exceptional circumstances. For example, in cases where a department would like someone with many years of experience in a particular field to teach a course. These cases would be considered on a case-by-case basis by the University College - College Advisory Committee (UC-CAC).
Can those who have been teaching the course previously be “grandfathered in” as instructors for Flashes 101?
No. Everyone who wants to teach Flashes 101 must apply and meet the requirements as outlined in the Instructor Information.
Can GAs co-teach a section?
GAs cannot teach if they do not have a master’s degree unless they are supervised by a full-time tenure-track faculty (this is university policy). Co-teaching by GAs is not recommended.
Will the Provost approve faculty overload if Flashes 101 takes them over?
Overload approval should not be happening in any college. We are following up with supervisors to make sure applicants have been approved by their department/college to teach.
Are the coordinators scheduling the courses or SSP?
SSP will continue to schedule sections for the Kent campus. Regional campus coordinators will schedule sections for their Regional campuses.
More than 1,000 photos of Black student life have been digitized and are waiting for members of the Kent State community to help identify them. A new world opened up to the Kent State University community in January 2014, when Lafayette (Lafe) Edward Tolliver donated more than 1,000 pictures that he took depicting campus life from 1967-1971, particularly Black student life.

Tolliver’s photographs — most of which had never been published or accessible to...
