This is an issue regarding the WCSU Department of Education and how they fail to be accountable to students. The Education department and the Admissions department both claim that the State of Connecticut will not allow them to accept student unless they have a certain cumulative GPA. Nor will the state of Connecticut allow WCSU Department of Education to make allowances visa vi waivers for such a situation. Note: SCSU has a lower GPA requirement and a waiver option for this requirement. In speaking with Dr. House I finally managed to get the accurate information. From the information he provided me from the state of Connecticut, it indicated that the cumulative GPA was a suggested guideline and that institution could utilize waivers for this requirement if necessary. So based on this information, the state does not create the policies WCSU uses but rather provides a structure for them to follow. Yet both of these fore mentioned departments continue to purport that the steadfast policy of cumulative GPA without any other remedy are due to the State of Connecticut. Both of these departments at WCSU need to be accountable for lying to the students they are refusing into the Education program. WCSU needs to be transparent, responsible and accountable to these students. The Education department needs to be accountable for its lying, just like it holding these students accountable for their GPAs. Needless to say students spending tens of thousands of dollars on an education cannot afford, integrity at WCSU to be more than just words in a mission statement.
