This group identified 5 areas of focus including the Capital Campaign, Strengthening the Academic Enterprise, Development of an Integrated Health Care System, Workplace Culture, and Undergraduate Life. The competition for faculty is intense with 43 having left last year, more than in last 10. Duke places an emphasis on undergraduate education. The question is how to continue this as they move through the classes. Trent Residence Hall and avoiding Trent as a residence remains an issue.
Diversity is also an issue.
The new Faculty Handbook is available via the web.
