I have summarized the comments received during the convocation for review. I will not list the action plans since we will review those at a later date. It seems that they only partnerships I have seen work were those where no administrators in the Univ. Reward faculty and staff for conducting outreach or partnering with community. If this is really a goal - why so many roadblocks.
Action speaks louder than words.
These are words and we already have a track record, some of which ain't so good. All of the language suggests a one way street. Why don't you just list our service learning program as an example of how these groups can get involved. Encourage and support faculty involvement in professional organizations, e.g. business faculty members of local business community organizations. More funding for service learning.
