House Bill 455
Important Notice Re: HB 455’s Impact on Teachers Pursuing a Leadership Degree
To: All Students Enrolled in the College of Education, Argosy University Atlanta
As you may be aware, on April 6, 2009 the Governor signed into law House Bill 455 (HB 455), which provides that educators who earn education leadership degrees on or after July 1, 2010, will not earn a salary increase unless they are already in a leadership position. According to HB 455, all leadership positions will be defined by the State Board of Education. Teachers completing degrees in areas of education leadership prior to July 1, 2010, will remain eligible to receive the normal salary increase upon degree completion without occupying a leadership position, according to our understanding of the bill.
Argosy University is adopting several strategies to address this issue including modification of our programs so that teachers not in leadership positions might continue to have opportunities to receive salary increases. We will be discussing our plans on how we are addressing this issue during several town hall meetings. You will receive a schedule of these meetings within the next week. We hope that you can participate.
If you cannot attend the meeting designated for your group, you will need to contact your advisor for additional information.

Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI)
Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI)
For Students regarding the IRB Process
Doctoral students who have not defended a dissertation proposal or submitted a CRP prospectus by May 9, 2009, will need to complete the training going forward. This means that students who pass a proposal defense or submit a prospectus on May 10 and beyond will also need to submit their CITI certification, proving that they have successfully completed the training. The training certificate should be submitted to the IRB along with the other documents when applying for protocol certification.
May 10 will also signal the date by which we will expect all research protocols to be in conformity to the new Handbook. Below is a brief summary of the major changes reflected in the new Handbook.
Major Changes in IRB Requirements:
1. A Conflict of Interest Statement has been added
2. Language was added to address cross-campus research
3. Language was added to address class research projects
4. IRB forms were streamlined
5. The IRB Handbook is hyperlinked to facilitate ease of use.
Also,
Effective 2/20/2009, the following procedure governing IRB applications will be implemented. Please convey this information to faculty and doctoral students.
The IRB has up to 30 days (Exempt and Expedited) and 60 days (Full IRB Review) to make a decision. However, every effort is being made to respond in the shortest time possible. The “clock starts” upon the receipt of a completed application. Incomplete applications will no longer be accepted and will be returned. Completed applications have all questions answered; signatures of both student and chair/advisor; informed consent documents (where appropriate); and a letter giving the principal researcher permission to conduct the study. The letter must be on official letterhead and must contain a hand signature of the organizational authority or owner of the data. In cases where the agency, school, or organization requires approval or verification from the IRB prior to issuing its permission letter, the student must state that in writing when submitting the application. If the data are public and require no permission to be granted, the student must explain where the data can be found and how the data are accessed.
The IRB will accept applications in electronic or hard copy formats; however, all documents must come in one packet, at one time, by the same person, in the same format. For example, signature pages will no longer be accepted separately from the rest of the application. Neither can students submit one part of the application on one day and another part on a different day. Documents should be submitted to Christie Vozniak at MBradfield@Argosy.edu with the title in the subject area of the email titled: IRB REVIEW.
Please do not call or email asking when you might expect to hear back from the IRB. Applications are reviewed in order of receipt. The same applies to revised applications. Normally, there are 12-15 new applications and at least a half-dozen revised applications in each queue at any given time. Again, we are making every effort to respond as quickly as possible.
Thanks for your understanding and support.

Registration for Research Courses
Hello Doctoral Students,
Currently, all research courses have been altered to reflect the addition of prerequisites. These prerequisites are designed to ensure students are in the appropriate research course within the research sequence. If you have taken E7111 Introduction to Advanced Academic Study and Writing, the system may not allow you register for research courses online via the student portal. Please submit an add/drop form to the education department via email or fax so that we can enter your registration manually. If you have taken W7000 Introduction Advanced Academic Study and Writing, the newer version of the same course, you should be able to register online for the research classes that list this as a prerequisite. The course number for all research classes have been altered slightly. Each research course now has “–A” preceding the original course number (example: R7001 is now R7001-A). Please see below for the new course numbers and the prerequisite course(s) necessary to gain entry into each course.
Research Courses and the Prerequisites
R7001-A. Added new w/ prerequisites of W7000

Argosy Atlanta hosted a very sucessful leadership academy for the students of our adopted Princeton Elementary School on Tuesday, March 17th. Members of the Argosy family presented leadership tips for the students. Doctors Riley Ordu, Glaspie-Ellis, George, an Dr. Dubyak held interactive sessions with the students. The students were engaged and particpated in each activity with vigour and vitality! The students were chaperoned by Princeton Elementary Teachers. Dr. Virginia Davis coordinated the program. A very special "Thank you!" is in order for Administrative Assistant Charlene Krueger who provided for the nutritional needs and made sure that this historical even was recorded by photography.
Thanks to all that participated!
