Academic Affairs
ACADEMIC: Zuhairah Scott
Zuhairah Scott’s passion, energy and leadership skills will
assist her in pursuing her goals as academic affairs
commissioner.
Scott is passionate about her politics and is not afraid to be
confrontational with the administration regarding academic affairs
which affect the students. Scott also has strong "people" skills,
having served as a Residential Assistant in the dorms for the past
two years. We are confident she has the ability to negotiate within
the administration, while at the same time, stay on the same level
as her fellow students.
Scott has a clear vision for meeting the needs of the student
body in the coming year. She is committed to bringing back a course
review catalogue that would describe various courses from the point
of view of students, and review the different professors who teach
the courses.
This way, students will have the opportunity to choose
professors based on their personal preferences and teaching styles.
Scott asserts that this puts educational control back into the
hands of students.
Additionally, Scott is committed to working as closely with the
faculty and administration as she will with students. We are
confident that she will pursue the best interests of the student
body as they relate to academic success, access and control.
