"We might be spending less on graduate students and more on staff, and it’s unclear if we’re going to be running much higher costs," Miron said.
The plan approved so far, which is only part of what the department hopes to implement in a larger-scale redevelopment of concentration advising, would grant concentrators one key staff member whose time will be devoted to undergraduates’ concerns, Miron said.
"While our past advisors have dedicated energy to their jobs, they were also students," Miron said. "When you have someone’s job is to be an advisor, there’s an obvious benefit in that specialization."
"Students will be working with one person, instead of graduate students who will ultimately graduate," Miron said. Having a level of "identifiability"—having one person instead of three—will also help students be more comfortable approaching their concentration advisor, he added.
