Any member of the university community may raise concerns and make suggestions without fear of retribution. Our behavior is consciously and explicitly collegial, professional, and civil, while the freedom to disagree is valued. An institution-wide perspective is supported and rewarded. Processes are expedient and efficient. Appropriate consideration is given to external constituencies.
Collegial processes encourage and support innovation and experimentation.
Governance is an iterative, reflective process. Structure and processes are continu ally adapted to changing forces and environ ments. The UAC does not oversee constituent organizations. The Council s relationships with these organizations are characterized by support and assistance.
