Master of Arts in Criminal Justice Advisory Committee Responsibilities
The Master of Arts in Criminal Justice Advisory Committee (the Advisory Committee) is expected to provide technical and programmatic advice as the Director of the Master of Arts in Criminal Justice Program (MACJ Program) or the Head of the Sociology Department at Norfolk State University may request. Members of the Advisory committee constitute an eminent body of citizens and criminal and juvenile justice practitioners from across Hampton Roads. Their expertise covers diverse areas of criminal and juvenile justice.
The Advisory Committee’s broad mission is to enhance and optimize the success of the MACJ Program. Responsibilities include assisting the Director and staff of the MACJ Program by:
Identifying and recruiting potential students;
Establishing admission standards for students;
Identifying sources of funding for the MACJ Program;
Determining educational, training, and research needs of criminal and
juvenile justice practitioners and community members interested in
such issues:
Providing internship opportunities for MACJ Program faculty and staff;
Establishing standards for evaluating the MACJ Program; and
Evaluating how well those standards are met.
Decisions by the Advisory Committee will be advisory for the Director of the MACJ Program or the Head of the Sociology Department at Norfolk State University. The educational integrity of the MACJ Program remains with the Director of the MACJ Program and other appropriate representatives of Norfolk State University.
The Advisory Committee may expect the Director and staff of the MAJC Program to assist the Advisory Committee in accomplishing its mission, treat Advisory Committee members with respect and candor, listen to and try to understand Advisory Committee member’ views, provide Advisory Committee members sufficient notice of meetings and other MACJ Program activities, and provide written responses to all written questions and recommendations of the Advisory Committee.
Generally, the Advisory Committee will meet twice a year, once during the Fall semester and once during the Spring semester. The Advisory Committee will conduct business in an open manner consistent with the Virginia Freedom of Information Act.
