COVID-19 Task Forces

Early on in the current crisis, there were a number of Task Forces formed by the Chancellor with leadership from the Chancellor and the Provost. Faculty Senate ensured a robust process for involving faculty. The details can be found here. In summary, Senate worked with our Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ODEI) and the Chancellor to ensure that at least 25% of each committee was made up of Senate nominated faculty, including Senators, members of the Senate Executive Committee (FSEC), and other faculty.

To ensure transparency, see below for the list of faculty on task forces who were appointed based on a nomination process led by Senate in consultation with ODEI:
