Does it seem odd to anyone else that the admissions paperwork can take so long? I mean are we trying to process immigration papers? How can an afternoon's work turn into weeks and perhaps months? We do have FedEx, fax, scan, email, even the US Mail, do we not? I hear there are even telephones at the Admin Office.

That's what happens when you have reduced work hours and government employees who are not incentivized for productivity. If the process were run by a private company, it would be streamless and done in about ten minutes.

This is the recruiting forum. |

Many times, it the institution sending the paper work that takes it's sweet time. |

This is the recruiting forum. This issue has a lot to do with recruiting. IIRC, Hillman lost a year due to paperwork snafus. |

If all information/records were stored electronically, the data would be readily available instantaneously. You have to wonder if the administrators are working with paper or electronic files. If it's paper, it's totally understandable that it could take months for the needed piece of paper. If electronic then it should be a matter of minutes.

But don't you think---as would be the case in most businesses---that there'd be a "point" person who would dog this and make sure everyone was doing there best and not letting things drop? |

To its credit, the SDSU Athletic Department appears to be run like a business. But paper files bog down everything to a snail's pace and provide convenient excuses for delays.

If it's paper, it's totally understandable that it could take months for the needed piece of paper. If electronic then it should be a matter of minutes. Many are still utilizing paper transcripts. The switch to e-files for all docs is happening slowly, but surely across all CSU campuses. |

There are "point persons" at most schools with athletics. Applications that indicate athletic interest are reviewed by a specific person. Usually, someone w/ athletic dept. ties. |

I guess good help is hard to find---EVEN with this economy and especially at universities. |

There is also the strong possibility that any documents requested by SDSU wouldn't be high on SC's 'to do' list. Don't look for favors from any Pac 12 schools.
GO AZTECS, GO ROCKY, GO FISHER

An Athletic department is far different than an admissions department or any other department on campus. They are not PAC 12, the sports teams just play in that conference. He was already released of his scholarship, if he transfers, no paperwork is from the football department, all records would be from the school which doesn't associate with the PAC. Get over all the PAC Hatred you have. |

GoldenEagleAztec:
I was merely stating a known fact and not a political opinion. If you think otherwise, then all I have to say is it's too bad you feel that way. Let's not make this something it's not. And to answer your question, yes, at one point I did work for a state run organization (which will remain nameless) and I can attest to the archaic infrastructure, lack of funding, and sadly (often times, but not always) unmotivated workforce.

Not a known fact. The fact is, that it's only your opinion. Go to the political forum. For the record, privately run business aren't well oiled machines i.e. Enron. How about the service at WalMart or your local fast-food chain. Think about it. Don't add any more on this thread. Don't hi-jack it. |

If you want to get nothing done then deal with the "private sector." They're also best at ripping you off. |
