Dear Arts and Sciences faculty, staff, and students:
I鈥檇 like to invite you to attend one of two open forums for a community-wide discussion on the desired leadership structure for the College of Arts and Sciences. The resignation of Dean Krutz presents an opportunity for us to examine, together, the best way to move the college forward: whether continuing the current model of a permanent executive dean and three deans of division; or establishing a rotating executive dean taken from among the three divisional deans (who would serve concurrently as a dean of a division and an executive dean of the college, as explored in the 2019 A&S restructuring report); or a variation of either of these approaches.
I will host both open forums on Tuesday, April 30鈥攐ne at noon and one at 4 p.m.鈥� to hear your thoughts and receive your input. Be sure to mark your calendar and plan to attend one of these open forums using this . Please note that the same Zoom link will work for both open forums. You can also send your written input to me at vcaa@colorado.edu.
My intention is to announce my decision on a leadership structure no later than Wednesday, May 8. Thank you, in advance, for making the time to engage in one of these open forums and to share your thoughts at a time when we鈥檙e all preparing for the close of the academic year.
Sincerely,
Russ
Russell Moore
