As we continue to move through the School of Education鈥檚 budget sustainability initiative, it鈥檚 my pleasure to provide an update on the composition of the ad hoc budget sustainability committee.
Following the call for nominations, the leadership team and I were very pleased to receive nearly 100 submissions containing nominations and self-nominations and a wide sampling of representation across our community. We are pleased with the final committee composition, and we believe the members are well-positioned to listen, learn, and work together collectively for the benefit of our students, mission, and long-term resiliency.
Here are the committee members, who have all been contacted and have agreed to serve this important role:
The leadership team and I took several criteria into consideration in selecting members, including:
The large pool of nominations was just what we were hoping for, and it made our task challenging 鈥� there were many interesting perspectives that came through the nomination process. We thank everyone, who either nominated someone or themselves, for their interest in joining or supporting the committee. We strongly encourage everyone to continue engaging by submitting your questions and ideas through the web form:
All ideas submitted through the form will be considered by the committee and leadership team. As the committee begins and progresses, you鈥檒l receive updates about what the committee is learning about and leaning into, and the committee timeline is available on the budget sustainability webpage.听
We are all committed to thinking and working together throughout this process. I am grateful for your thoughtful nominations, and I thank the committee members, in advance, for their commitment to deeply understanding our school鈥檚 mission and our budget while we work creatively and thoughtfully toward potential solutions.
