UND's faculty and staff newsletter

New task force named to examine future of education at UND

Membership for the Task Force on the Future of Education at UND is finalized. The roster, drawn from 113 nominees, includes 20 faculty from the tenure-track and non tenure-track ranks. All primary academic units are represented. Two staff members from Academic Administration/Student Services and one student were also selected. Included among the faculty are six University Senators and nine members who serve on 12 different University Senate standing committees.

We are encouraged by the high level of interest among faculty and staff and will continue to find ways to engage the larger university community in the work of the Task Force.
