Building a Transparent Leadership Model

Model transparent leadership by sharing the school's goals with internal and external audiences.

• Deans are meeting with individual academic department chairs and full departments on an ongoing basis.
• A town meeting for staff occurred in October 2012; another is scheduled for spring 2013.
  

Academic deans met with the tenure and promotion committee to evaluate guidelines for interdisciplinary tenure evaluations.

The committee integrated changes into Statement 11.

Proposed faculty/administration working groups for 2012 include a working group on online learning and education and groups examining facilities needs. The dean met in the fall with chairs of a number of faculty committees including budget & priorities, the executive committee, research, facilities & grounds, and athletics to review goals for the new academic year. Faculty roundtables are planned for spring 2013.
