Resolved:

That the MSU Billings Academic Senate opposes the implementation of 鈥渇lagship programs鈥� at MSU Billings.

The Academic Senate believes that flagship programs should not exist at this institution. The Academic Senate acknowledges the importance of joining with the Administration in identifying benchmarks of program excellence. However, the advancement of academic quality should be promoted democratically on an institution-wide basis and not focused narrowly on a small number of programs that enjoy privileged status.
