Notes and Comments from Delegates
Need to add diversity as a major priority;
We do more than “train” workforce….we educate them;
Where do we address the fact that UW System interferes too much in our work at
the Institution level? Our decentralization needs to be maintained as w ell as local
advocacy;
There is a decline in State support for higher education. We need to change the
narrative to articulate this larger message so more people understand the origin
of this;
Questions seem very externally focused….;
Students included in the possible types of participants at end of survey;
Idea #8 should really be focused on student success NOT “best and brightest.”;
We should be focused not only on businesses but communities. This is where we
can have a large impact;
Shouldn’t UW System be trying to impact the national conversation about higher
education? We should be in the forefront;
We should do more at the local level. Even 40 miles from the UW Institutions
people don’t know us;
Decline in State support leads to large increases in the cost of education. We
need to be clearer about State support’s effect;
There is a larger impact from higher education than economics, jobs. Lots of
additional benefits.
