The Academic Futures subcommittees are submitting to campus some of the compelling ideas that have emerged from combined campus input over the fall semester. These ideas arose from white papers, town hall meetings, unit-based meetings and themed discussions.
In the fifth and final part of a multipart Academic Futures video series, Sarah Krakoff, professor of law, is asking for your feedback on a set of ideas the subcommittee on reaffirming the public in our mission as a public research university has coalesced around. This is your opportunity to weigh in on these ideas, submitting feedback by June 1.
- What would it mean to prioritize a public-spirited research and teaching mission for our university?
- How might our university better serve the public and defend public goods? (For example, commit to all our students graduating debt-free?)
- How can we more effectively communicate the vital role that our university plays in society? (This includes pursuing and defending public funding.)
- How do we fundraise in a manner that preserves the public trust and the independent academic mission of our university?
