Office of the President

November 1, 2016

Dear KSU family:

As we embark on a new strategic plan that “Races us toward our Brightest Future,” it is imperative that we have an organizational structure and organizational processes that assist us in getting there. Our committees and councils are essential for a properly working shared governance system. The “Book” is effective immediately and I ask that everyone who is assigned to a committee or council, carry out the roles assigned. You must become fully engaged in carrying out the mission of that committee and/or council along with keeping our focus on the mission of the University. I am committed as you are to having high expectations, producing high rigor and giving high input to our students and other University constituents. This is one clear way of showing this engagement.

As with our strategic plan, we will monitor the implementation and assessment of our committees and councils. If there are better ways to create, implement and maintain a shared structure of shared governance, I am available to listen to your assessment and suggestions. In addition, please feel free to contact our Office of Institutional Effectiveness for a conversation as to how we can improve.

Thank you for all you do and Go Thorobreds!

Sincerely,

Suite 201, Hume Hall (502) 597-6260 400 East Main Street Frankfort, Kentucky 40601 www.kysu.edu
