Comment:听 We need to determine what is programmatically required to link research to pedagogy with a focus on best practices. Need to make it value-added where we generate knowledge, not just share knowledge.
Comment: We need to make the practices of discovery more transparent and outside of the curriculum for graduate education, for example, creating and attending seminars.
Q. If we put forward white papers, it will mostly likely be from the perspective of our expertise.听 There is a concern that those reading them could view them as self-serving rather than something that we really need to address.听 How will we know the papers will be taken seriously?
A. We are a community that puts forward intelligent propositions with supporting evidence, and then we debate those ideas.听 If the ideas have traction across the campus, we will spin off those ideas into thematic meetings and talk about them further.听 Then the committee will do its best to absorb and prioritize the ideas and will check back with the campus.
Q.听 Are you looking for ideas that are campus-related, or can we put forward proposals that have a farther reach for higher education?
A. The Provost would like to consider any idea 鈥� put it on the table.听
Comment:听 For students, college is becoming too expensive.听 The students want a return on investment and are looking for jobs and skillsets rather than pursuing their passions in order to change the world in different ways.
Comment: We would like to envision the institution as one without an NCAA Football program given the data on brain injuries.
Comment: We also need to talk about removing barriers between all four campuses to create a university without walls.听 For example, a student at the medical school who also wants to supplement their degree with courses in the Humanities.听 The Boulder A&S organization can help serve other campuses.
