| Result | Killed By Committee |
| Remarks | FAILED - Forces advisors into a 5-year contract, which is not feasible. |
| Whereas | UTA advisors are obligated to assist students with choosing classes, clearing students for these classes, and designating a degree plan; and |
| Whereas | A common relationship with this advisor will assist them in sifting out courses that are beneficial, and be of interest to the students over the process of a four-to-five year period; and |
| Whereas | Many times advisors leave the school making it difficult for students to build this relationship and become comfortable with a single advisor; and |
| Whereas | New advisors do not have the background knowledge and expertise those former advisors had, adding anxiety to the alternative advisor, students, and their degree plan. |
| Be It Further Resolved That | All advisors have a retention agreement set in place for a minimum of 5 years for the benefit of student's academics; and |
| Be It Further Resolved That | Departmental advisor training commence twice a year for all first and former advisors, ensuring that accurate, consistent, and appropriate information is given to the students by all advisors. |
