Community Engagement:
The Steering Committee will be representative of the community. As noted above, we look to establish small working groups within schools and other units to participate in the audit process along with dedicated consultants. Responsibilities include:
We will create a forum for continuous input and feedback from faculty, staff and students. (Website. Q&A. focus groups, etc.)
Timeline and Deliverables:
Communication:
We plan to post updates on the Tufts website and invite the community to make comments and suggestions. The website will be updated on a biweekly basis. In addition, we plan to provide updates a Town Halls, Academic and Administrative Councils throughout the course of the audit and will communicate existing initiatives for schools and units to consider. We will invite schools and central units to similarly share their targeted actions as a way of disseminating best practices across Tufts.
Reporting:
We plan to update the senior team on our progress every 4 weeks and as needed.
