Compacts are planning guides used for communicating academic priorities and managing programs and resources. Cerra and the deans agreed to extend the period covered by the compacts because of the length of time it takes to prepare them. New instructions were distributed by Katherine Johnston, AHC chief financial officer, at a recent Deans Council meeting. Deadline for nominations is March 1. For more information, please contact Nicole Boldt at 625-4859.
All faculty are welcome to attend.
An agenda will be sent to assembly members in early February. This marks the third year the university has honored this rite of passage for medical students. The new agreement will increase on-campus research rates from 47 percent to 48 percent for the remainder of fiscal year 2000, and to 48.5 percent for fiscal years 2001 though 2003. Scheduled speakers include Rebecca Eisenberg of the University of Michigan Law School, Jeffrey Kahn of the U's Center for Bioethics, Harry Orr of the Institute of Human Genetics, and Dan Burk and Susan Wolf of the U of M Law School. Several new faculty members have been added to the department this year.
