The Executive Faculty were invited to vote on the proposed curriculum transformation between June 10 – 24, 2015. The following message was communicated to the UMMS community on June 25 by Dean James O. Woolliscroft:
Our plan for the curriculum transformation was approved by a majority vote of the Executive Faculty, with 762 faculty voting. Four out of five faculty who voted approved of the curriculum plans and the process we are using to move forward.
This was one of the largest turnouts for a faculty vote in many years and I am gratified by the level of engagement. While this election was an important milestone, much work remains to be done and the involvement of the faculty in shaping the curriculum continues to be critical to its success.
