The UC Chair provided an update from the Chancellor’s expanded cabinet meeting including the news that the Carnegie Foundation changed the R1 review window from 5 to 3 years meaning UWM will hear sooner about R1 renewal sooner than expected. The chair also reported back on the discussion at the Academic Planning & Budget Committee of the draft document establishing the UW-Colleges schools as a College within UWM. The chair of the Academic Staff Committee, Sue Cashin, discussed governance and contracts aspects of the UW-Colleges restructuring.
