Faculty are drawn away from their campus offices for any of several reasons, limiting opportunities for students to interact with them on an individual basis. The quality of the education that students receive is likely to benefit from direct student-faculty interactions, and the faculty of the University of Southern California are committed to providing the highest quality of education to our students.

Therefore, it is resolved that faculty and administrators should work together to better enable faculty to increase their day to day availability to students and create opportunities for timely and individualized interactions by increasing their time on campus and/or by establishing and using alternative electronic means of communication.
