Sharing Concerns - Charting the FutureCharting the Future

Attendees from the Academic and Student Affairs Conference, May 2014 share their concerns about Charting the Future.

Concerns shared by Doug Knowlton, Metropolitan State University

Lack of student and faculty input into the planning.
Another planning activity with no real impact because of political and traditional resistance to change.
The colleges and universities will see this as another chancellor-driven initiative without true and legitimate buy-in from the institutions.

Concerns shared by Greg Rathert, Anoka-Ramsey Community College

Creating a vision that is flexible enough to still be relevant in 10+ years.
Finding ways to meet our obligations to greater Minnesota without diverting resources away from our most pressed and growing institutions.
Fulfilling our mission of being open access institutions while reforming developmental education.

Unions – specifically faculty unions as they are already challenging the concepts/strategies of “Charting the Future.”
