U Iowa Integrated Academic & Budgeting Planning Task Forces Reports

In early 2009 Iowa provost, Wallace D. Loh, formed six task forces to examine ways to shape the future of the academic programs at the university, in relation so the various external forces affecting university campuses. The final reports of each task force are now available as PDF. This web page lists the task forces and has links to their charge, membership, and reports plus appendices. Many SCUPers will enjoy learning from this work. The task forces were:

• Task Force in Strategic Budgeting
• Task Force on Undergraduate Education and Success
• Task Force on Graduate Education: Selective Excellence
• Task Force on Research and Creative excellence
• Task force on Internationalization and Diversity
• Task Force on Public Outreach and Civic Engagement

Audrey Williams June has this brief article about the graduate education task force's report in The Chronicle of Higher Education.
