About the discussion
This page is for online conversation related to our in-person conversation on University Governance. All information, suggestions, ideas, and data collected during the course of this series will be summarized and anonymized before being presented to President-designate Gabel. If you would like to contribute your thoughts without publicly posting them in this forum, please feel free to send an email to [email protected] or IAS Director Jennifer Gunn ([email protected]).
Questions from the discussion:
- How do we use our values to guide processes of shared governance?
- What do "consult" and "shared" mean in the governance process and how do we insure that consultation includes a wide range of opinions and interests—voices who don’t always agree?
- How do we enhance democratic processes and cultivate broad participation and leadership in shared governance to make it best represent the needs of our diverse constituencies?
