Every five years, academic deans and directors of the university’s schools and colleges undergo a comprehensive review to assess their academic and administrative leadership and performance in such areas as communications, external relations, and resource management. The review includes interviews with faculty, staff and students, and with external stakeholders.
The review for Graduate School Dean Bill Karpus is underway. Karpus is the first dean of the Graduate School after the restructuring of the research and graduate education enterprise. This review is being conducted by a campus-wide committee, appointed by Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Education Steve Ackerman. The list of committee members is below.
