Request

We understand that Tracks and Titles is a sensitive issue.  The draft document linked above is just the beginning of a process aimed at making positive changes for our faculty.  As we move forward, we hope to follow a consensus model where our goal is to agree to support changes that improve the current model while acknowledging that not every stakeholder will be completely satisfied.  We envision that improving Tracks and Titles will continue in ensuing years.  If you have concerns or comments, please keep them constructive with concrete suggestions for changes.  You may either voice your concerns at this Town Hall or use the form below:
