Programs for Academic Leaders

The Academic Leaders Forum is a one day program held on campus that precedes the fall semester. It is designed for chairs, deans, associate/assistant deans, and directors. New chairs are invited to an orientation for the first hour (beginning around 9:00 AM). Deans attend with their 'cabinet teams' and convene at 10:00 AM for a meeting with an attorney from the UM General Counsel's office. The morning is devoted to a discussion of legal issues that relate to the academic work of administrators, faculty, staff, and students.  The afternoon is focused on new policies and procedures that will be implemented in the coming academic year and cautions and updates from the campus and from the system. The Forum adjourns by 3 PM.
