April 10, 2026 Update

The Goal 3 Committee has established three subcommittees, with subcommittee co-chairs, which will inform their efforts.  
   
The committee spent time this week finalizing its review of data with deans and launching newly focused subgroups, whose focus areas include: (1) report synthesis and coordination, (2) lessons learned from restructuring at peer institutions, (3) strategies for sustaining Academic Program Review, and (4) faculty success, retention, and relocation during periods of academic transformation.   
 
Goal 3 Committee members will work with deans to share updates with faculty on the information and recommendations being considered for their specific academic units by April 20. This information will help faculty understand how their academic units and undergraduate majors or graduate degree programs are being considered. Goal 3 recommendations will be forwarded to the Academic Unit Review Committee for consideration.  
 
The committee is developing key processes to support the implementation of potential recommendations. The forthcoming report will outline data indicators and procedures to guide ongoing Academic Program Reviews. It will also propose processes for faculty relocation that align with DU’s Appointment, Promotion, and Tenure (APT) Policy.
