SURVEY
Continued from Page 1
Members of the focus groups, many of
whom were international students, discussed
their concerns and various issues that face
international students. These topics were the
sources of many of the survey questions that
Gwartney-Gibbs and her class designed.
Although the racial comment sped the sur
vey process up. Bowman said the survey was
already in the planning stages She said anoth
er similar survey will be done next year with
undergraduate international and domestic
students.
There were only two main differences
found between the answers of the interna
tional and domestic graduate students. Gwart
ney-Gibbs said.
One of the differences was that *H) percent
of domestic students felt comfortable par
ticipating in class, but only 71 percent of inter
national students did.
The discrepancy could be bet.a use of cul
tural or language differences. Gwartney-Gibbs
said. She said she had expected to see this
difference from the start of the survey.
Something Gwartney-Gibbs said she didn't
expect to find was that only 31 percent of
international students had asked faculty for
advice with career development, while 55
percent of domestic students had

include the following:
• 74 percent said they were happy with
their overall University experience.
• 77 percent said they were satisfied with
the services provided by the graduate school
• 7« percent said they were satisfied with
their major department.
•90 percent of international students said
they were satisfied with the Office of Edu

• 82 percent said they wore satisfied with

From the results. Bowman said her office
will have more ideas for what to present dur
ing orientation and how to make international
students feel more comfortable here
In addition, a new International Student
Advisory Committee has recently been formed
to advise the Office of International Educa
tion and Exchange on various issues facing
foreign students.
The seven-member body, made up of inter
national students, will review the survey
results and contribute ideas to improve stu
dents' experiences in the United States
"I'd like to see more done at orientation in
terms of letting international students know
that the International Student Association is
here for thorn," said ISA Director and com
mittee member Naghmeh Moshtael. "I've had
good experiences hero, and whatever ISA can
do to give the same to others, we will. "

(ust l>efore O'Leary delivered
the injunction, committee mem
ber Kfrem Mehretab moved that
the IFC suspend an internal rule
that requires six members to lie
present to remove a member
from office and a rule requiring
five members vote for dismissal.
"I feel uncomfortable that
Steve is not here to defend him
self.” Mehretab said.
O'Leary's action put another
twist in a unsettled week in the
IFC.
Committee members Kd (Par
son. Anne Wagoner and
Mehretab sent a memo to Masat
Wednesday asking him to resign
or fare possible expulsion from
the committee during Thurs
day’s meeting
In response to the three com
mittee member's memo. Jason
Moore, associate editor of the
Student Insurgent, requested the
court to review the legality of
tlie member’s proposed actions.
At the beginning of Tuesday s
meeting, Moore accused the
committee of conducting on ille

not authorize a meeting

international students have with transferring
credits from their home schools.
A more immediate result of the survey will
lie a new lounge just for graduate students
One of the questions asked what could !m>
improved upon physically within the grodu
ate school, and many students suggested a
place whore graduate students could meet to
study or converse
As a result of this idea, the graduate school
is going to expand into the basement of Chap
man Hall, thus freeing up the Leona Tyler
Lounge for graduate students to meet in. The
expansion should be completed by the end
of the summer.
