Selection Criteria

Selection Criteria
Please note: This program focuses on one author, not one book, so candidates need to have a reasonable body of work. Rationales for this program decision are in the proposal. 
·      The recommended selection needs to be affordable (i.e. not in hardback and reasonably priced)
·      The author needs to be accessible and readable (with emphasis on readable—a good read.)
·      The selection should connect to the CSULA student experience. In particular, the selection needs to offer avenues for students to think critically, read actively, and write about issues that mean something to the student. In the past, we have used LA as a theme, but this is not a requirement. 
·      The recommended book needs to be of an appropriate length
·      If possible, the author should be available. For the first few years, this seems more important, but that is open for discussion.
