Dear University Community:
The Shared Governance Task Force has reviewed the responses to the October 2023 survey. Thank you to all who participated. The executive summary, detailed report, and data are now available on our shared governance initiative SharePoint site.
We encourage you to examine these materials. Your feedback is welcomed and essential in guiding our action steps.
Key Observations and Next Steps
Your responses highlight two important aspects of this work. First, your candid feedback is invaluable in highlighting areas for improvement. Second, our work must be action-oriented, with the goal of evolving our shared governance.
Now, we invite you to engage further:
The Task Force is developing a shared governance statement and a decision matrix. These documents will soon be open for your feedback.
Looking Forward
Stay tuned for more updates and the forthcoming drafts. Your continued participation is integral to refining these crucial governance documents. Please share your reactions and feedback with a Task Force member or confidentially with our facilitator, Dr. Danny Anderson, at danny@drdannyanderson.com.
Your involvement is crucial to fostering an environment of trust, transparency, and effective communication. Together, we’re shaping shared governance and strengthening our entire University community.
Sincerely,
Krista L. Newkirk
