The Academic Affairs Commission is responsible for representing student academic interests relating to academic policies to the faculty, administration and the whole UW system. The Academic Affairs Commission works closely with administrators to ensure that student interests and needs are being heard during all decision making processes. This commission is also responsible for the reviewing, analyzing and giving recommendations during the decision making process of the 1.3 million dollars in differential tuition that funds programs and activities like internships, capstones, faculty collaborative research, first year experience, service learning and other innovative projects.
Also among the issues that Academic Affairs deals with are extending the hours of the library, creation of a 24 hour study space larger than Schneider Hall, possible extension of Haas Fine Arts building hours, and other academic advising. AA will also continually address any and all further issues that arise in an effort to improve academic life for the students of UW-Eau Claire.
