Effective next fall we will have a system in place to make it easier to transfer credits among all IU campuses. A post-tenure review system is being adopted on all campuses for the few faculty who misuse tenure. It's easy to become frustrated when trying to make changes, because before trustees implement changes, they are customarily submitted to the unwieldy faculty governance system for approval. Faculty members are the most important component of the university. We should enhance efforts to attract the most talented faculty and students to IU's campuses.
Success here has unlimited benefits.
Trustees must provide the vision and leadership in this quest in an open, fair manner and remain accessible to their various constituencies. Being retired, I have the ability to devote full-time to the responsibilities of a trustee. Keeping and improving the reputation of the various divisions on all of our campuses. Keeping all avenues of revenue flowing without jeopardizing the quality of our education. The experience of the administration, the input of the faculty, and the voice of alumni should combine to solve our needs.
