2007 Strategic Issues Panel
In 2007 the panel examined The Future of Colorado's Constitution. Colorado’s Constitution contains conflicting provisions and extensive detail, and is one of the easiest-to-amend constitutions in the country. The question before the 2007 panel was: “Should the State of Colorado consider constitutional revision?”
Strategic Issues Program at DU
Each year the University of Denver convenes a non-partisan panel of citizens to examine an issue of particular importance to the people of Colorado. These panels, organized through DU’s Strategic Issues Program, reflect the University’s belief that, as an independent institution, we are in a unique position to make contributions to the state that has been home to the University since our founding in 1864.
Supporting the efforts of strategic issues panels is an expression of DU’s institutional commitment to contribute to the public good. In a very real sense, these panels affirm the values of informed civil discourse, intellectual freedom, creativity, open communication and rigor that guide the University of Denver.
