April 16 Faculty Meeting Agenda
In preparation for Wednesday's faculty meeting, below is the agenda. I want to stress a couple things about this meeting. First, we've invited the Provost and Dean to meet with us to discuss their goals and plans relative to program review. We have recently committed one position in the department to fund the CDR associate director as our main priority. This is tied to our priorities that evolved out of program review. Among other commitments we've made internally as a department (faculty research, debate, basic course), tomorrow is an opportunity to ask both the Provost and Dean to articulate their responses to our very positive program review. I will make a few introductory remarks at the beginning of our meeting in order to set the stage for them to respond. Beyond program review, this is our opportunity to ask questions of the Provost on other issues of interest to you.
Second, we've got a couple of additional items to attend to after the Provost and Dean are done. If you have other items for discussion or questions to pose to the group, let me know before the meeting and we'll add them to the agenda.
