Working Group for Standard VII: Governance, Leadership, and Administration

The members of the Working Group for Standard VII: Governance, Leadership, and Administration focus on how Rutgers is governed and administered in a manner that allows us to realize our stated mission and goals in a way that effectively benefits the institution, our students, and the other constituencies we serve. Additionally, they will report on how even when supported by external funding, we have education as our primary purpose, and operate as an academic institution with appropriate autonomy.
