Saying they believe the university should create a set of structures, policies, and practices that facilitate and encourage inter-disciplinary programs and research, members of a review committee have issued a series of recommendations for discussion by Senate at its November meeting.

They include:

• Formally establish institutional leadership and academic responsibility
• Create a budgetary model to support program development and resource sharing
• Augment inter-disciplinary program stability and faculty development
• Enhance inter-disciplinary research opportunities

Provost Leo Groarke invites comment on the report and its recommendations at interdisciplinary@uwindsor.ca.

The report is available for review on the provost’s Web site.
