鈥淚 want to thank the committee and the 蜜桃传媒破解版下载 community for their vision and hard work,鈥� said Moore. 鈥淭he senior vice chancellor and I will take a fresh look at the report with these community updates.鈥�
Moore said the review would involve 鈥渃onferring with the Academic Futures committee to discuss the report and clearly understand its recommendations鈥� and then examining those recommendations 鈥渋n the context of the work being done on other initiatives such as the Diversity, Inclusion and Academic Excellence Plan (DIAEP), the Foundations of Excellence initiative and the Financial Futures initiative.鈥�
