governance. We will regularly assess governance structures and processes to ensure effectiveness and adaptability to evolving institutional needs, with clear accountability for decisions and outcomes. 6. Sustainability – We will develop shared governance practices that are sustainable, and we will ensure continuity in leadership, institutional memory, and ongoing professional development for participants in governance roles. We will regularly review these commitments, along with university policies and procedures, to nurture a culture of institutional-thinking and a shared governance mindset. Through the commitments outlined in this document, all constituents will work to include and honor appropriate voices in decision-making processes with formal and informal mechanisms to ensure decisions are made collaboratively and in the best interest of the institutional vision, mission, and values. To ensure equitable inclusion of input in these processes, we will engage in meaningful consultation early on and we will honor the roles, authority, and responsibility of various constituencies in the shared governance environment.
