was discussed and rejected years ago in the days of the Continuing Education Committee. I recall it being discussed as a source of revenue and rejected as being too obvious a money grab. I was asked to fill out a survey on the subject 1 - 2 years ago. I
did not fill out the survey because 1/2 way through the questions it became very obvious that the design of the survey was slanted to give only one answer; "<em><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I am in favor of a certification program</span></em>."<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I, and I suspect many others, want to see a good rationale for this program, besides the potential revenue. And, finally, as has been alluded to, a program that was created after
<strong><i><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">volunteers</span></i></strong> were asked to sign non-disclosure agreements reeks of secrecy and lack of transparency.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

reports to HERB. While I’m sure HERB had the “best interests of food science programs in mind”, the CFSA was generally strongly opposed to a yearly report. Additionally, the CFSA asked repeatedly that HERB approve tracks which many programs offer other than
the traditional “science” track. Neither of these was done. This seems to be a serious case of ignoring your stakeholders because, apparently, HERB is in a better position to know what’s best for our students than we do.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

required to support IFT Board of Directors decisions, which I do. However, I really wish this ongoing discussion would have taken place 12-18 months ago. As Joe Marcy, noted, this process has been moving along for several years.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

out the assessment of learning they proposed five years earlier (at initial approval). Almost nothing was done to improve the quality of food science education in these programs during the 4-year period leading up to re-approval.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

did for re-approval. Thus, during the last several years, HERB had to defer re-approval of FS programs because of missing or insufficient information on program or course assessment. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="color:black">The process is one of IFT operating without considering the opinions of the academic leadership. I believe it was two years ago when Bob McGorrin presented
the proposal to department heads (CFSA/ANDP meeting), that we should be providing information to the IFT HERB group annually instead of every 5 years. At this meeting, every department head spoke against this change and show of hands resulted in a unanimous
vote against IFT implementing annual reporting. It was interesting that 2 months later, IFT informed all of us that we would be required to present some materials for HEBB every year from then on. At the last joint head's meeting (CFSA/ANDP), there was a presentation
(by John Huff) and discussion of the proposed Certified Food Scientist program. Again, without exception, there was opposition to the program and now ... IFT is implementing the program. I am extremely concerned that IFT is choosing to ignore our input. If
opinions were mixed and no clear stand was evident, IFT may take an action they favor, however, they chose to act directly contrary to our views.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
