ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Caucus

The ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Caucus was formed as a shared governance innovation. ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Caucus is a mechanism for collective conversation and advancing our goals as a University. We regularly bring together shared governance leaders from the Faculty Senate, USÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ and Staff Council with the Vice Chancellors and Chancellor for meaningful conversations. The formation of the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Caucus was the Chancellor's direct response for better university-wide communication regarding decision-making.
