University of Denver Faculty Senate
President’s Report
Academic Year July 1, 2010 – June 30, 2011
Introduction
The following report summarizes the activities of the Faculty Senate for the academic year ending on June 30, 2011. Overall, it was a good year. In addition to dealing with routine and one-time issues, the Senate adopted four stretch goals. There were no simmering issues left at the end of the year, although as detailed below, there is still work ahead of us. With respect to our four stretch goals, it can be said that we reached “the end of the beginning.” Further work will be accomplished under the Provost’s Academic Strategic Positioning Initiative as it unfolds. Thanks to all who participated in Senate activities in the past year: Senators, committee members and chairs, faculty at large, students, administrators, staff, and members of the Board of Trustees. We look forward to collaborating with all of you in a shared governance environment as DU engages with the interesting times that lie ahead for colleges and universities in the US and around the world.
