Semester Conversion Task Force ReportConcluding RemarksIf implemented, the conversion plan described in this report could produce transformational changes.The Semester Conversion Task Force believes that with leadership from the University administrationand the faculty and with Senate Principle 1 as guidance—that faculty, staff, students and administratorswork together on all phases of planning for possible conversion to semesters—these changes wouldunite CSULA as a community and transform it into a better and stronger University. We envision a postconversionCSULA as a University that would support:• the intellectual growth of our students,• the creativity of our faculty,• the resourcefulness of the our staff, and• the leadership of our administration.36
