Editing Herzing Issues: Faculty Instruction and Curriculum Design (section)

== Overview ==
This article gathers twenty six tracker entries filed between April 30, 2026 and June 6, 2026 (three lead entries, {{HU|HU-062}}, {{HU|HU-081}}, and {{HU|HU-091}}, along with {{HU|HU-103}}, were later split into lettered sub issues on June 6, 2026, and one sub issue, {{HU|HU-091a}}, traces to an original incident dated July 14, 2025). All twenty six entries carry a CONFIRMED status in the tracker, though {{HU|HU-161}} qualifies that status to the documented facts of two faculty change notifications and cohort chat messages rather than to the unstated reason for the departures. Severity runs from Medium (thirteen entries) through High (eleven entries) to Critical (two entries, {{HU|HU-044}} and {{HU|HU-117}}).

Three threads recur across the set. The first is contradictory or unavailable faculty guidance: students received conflicting instructions on clinical midterm evaluations ({{HU|HU-031}}) and clinical hour totals ({{HU|HU-033}}), a Clinical IV adjunct resigned with zero institutional notice ({{HU|HU-117}}), a Faculty and Course Information page sat blank in week three of a term ({{HU|HU-130}}), and a synchronous session schedule was posted after three of its own sessions had already passed ({{HU|HU-131}}). The second thread is curriculum design and disclosure: exit exam benchmarks that can change without notice ({{HU|HU-010}}), a catalog supersession memorandum that binds enrolled students to later policy versions ({{HU|HU-064}}), a capstone mentor requirement not disclosed until course start ({{HU|HU-097}}), a modules only curriculum with no standalone textbooks ({{HU|HU-102}}), a capstone described as theoretical rather than implemented ({{HU|HU-111}}), and identical assignments required across two concurrent courses ({{HU|HU-113}}). The third thread is faculty retention and instruction quality, most visible in the New Orleans campus cluster ({{HU|HU-062}}, {{HU|HU-062a}}, {{HU|HU-062b}}), the self teaching characterization of the program ({{HU|HU-077}}), the clinical communication failures around care plans and preceptor briefing ({{HU|HU-081}}, {{HU|HU-081a}}, {{HU|HU-081b}}), two unrelated administrative incidents involving a misdirected Needs Improvement contract and check off policy violations ({{HU|HU-091}}, {{HU|HU-091a}}, {{HU|HU-091b}}), and the broader faculty turnover and instruction quality lead ({{HU|HU-103}}, {{HU|HU-103a}}, {{HU|HU-103b}}), which connects to a second documented Clinical IV faculty departure the following term ({{HU|HU-161}}).

Owners named across the set concentrate in the Program Chair, the Dean of Nursing or Dean of Prelicensure Nursing, Academic Affairs, and the Clinical Coordinator, with named faculty members, Dr. Tressler and Dr. Prashad, appearing directly in the evidence for {{HU|HU-113}}, {{HU|HU-117}}, {{HU|HU-130}}, and {{HU|HU-161}}, and Dr. Gregg appearing in the evidence for {{HU|HU-131}}. Several entries cross reference issues logged under other topics, including Clinical Placement, Technology, LMS, and Platforms, Grading and Academic Records, and Workload and Student Communication, indicating that faculty instruction and curriculum design problems in this tracker rarely occur in isolation.
