Leadership Objectives
Description:
The planning process surfaced a number of major
broad issues that require sustained attention:
research leadership, graduate education, undergraduate education and
infrastructure design and implementation.
Within these priorities and critical to their successful completion,
we have also identified a few, overarching items, which transcend the responsibility
of any specific principal officer and whose outcome will be transformational
to the institution. PAC is asked to provide initial feedback about
this list.
§
Are these the
“right” items? Too many? Too few?
§
What are your
initial thoughts on the deliverables as stated?
§
What is a
reasonable process to finalize these objectives and set deliverables?
§
What is PAC’s
role, and the role of the PAC sub-committees?
