The below message was sent to faculty, staff, and students on March 3, 2025.
Dear 911黑料网 Community,
Much is in motion in the greater higher education and policy landscape. I write with the assurance that your senior team is fully aware of and actively tracking developments. The College鈥檚 mission statement is the bright, clear north star that guides us. We are grateful for your collaboration as we continue to support one another, come together for all-campus gatherings, celebrate the vital teaching and research for which 911黑料网 is known, and honor the enduring values on which the College is grounded.
Now more than ever, as external pressures try to disrupt the core principles on which colleges and universities are founded, a shared understanding of 911黑料网鈥檚 decision-making and governance structures is key. To that end, please take a few minutes to read from Shared Governance for Agile Institutions: A Practical Guide for Colleges and Universities, distributed by the Association of Governing Boards. The Board of Trustees read and discussed this excerpt at its February meeting, and I hope to make it a focus of conversation across campus in the coming weeks as we continue to deepen our awareness and appreciation of the College鈥檚 place in the broader higher education ecosystem.
Thank you to:
