PROFS is pleased to sponsor a public forum on shared governance at 3 pm, Thursday, May 3 in the Wisconsin Idea Room in the Education Building.
Public higher education has faced enormous challenges in recent years — massive funding cuts, declining student enrollment, shifting perception on the value of a degree. Many legislative leaders have called for the University of Wisconsin System, and UW-Madison in particular, to operate more like a business, often citing shared governance as a major impediment to institutional efficiency.
Our panel of nationally known experts will guide our discussion.
- Gary Rhoades, University of Arizona Professor, Director of the Center for the Study of Higher Education, former General Secretary AAUP
- David Maxwell, Drake University President Emeritus, Association of Governing Boards Senior Consultant
- Regina Millner, University of Wisconsin System Regent, Board President Emeritus
- Thomas Harnisch, American Association of State Colleges and Universities Director of State Relations and Policy Analysis
Karen Herzog, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel higher education reporter, will moderate.
This event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
