Correspondence II To: Shelia Barnes, Chairman of the NPC Research Committee From: Mari Ann Callais Re: Dissertation Research Questions and Permission for Research--Final Approval Date: March, 2001 First, I would like to thank each of you for being patient with me. This process has been very complex and much more than I would have ever imagined. I have taken your suggestions and the suggestions of my committee and incorporated them into my study. The following are the changes based upon both committees' recommendations: 1. Due to expense of traveling and because of my dissertation committee's concerns about research at campuses where I am speaking, I have chosen most of the campuses in the Southeast, but tried to select Universities that differ due to the type of students that attend. For example, Tulane may be located in the South, but typically attracts a more diverse student population. The campuses that I have selected at this time are: University of Dayton Ramapo College University of Dayton Florida State University University of South Alabama University of Alabama Birmingham University of Southern Mississippi Tulane University Loyola University 157
