Provost

Lewis Walker Institute Working Group Charge

For the Study of Race and Ethnic Relations

Given the current mission, vision, goals, and purpose of the Lewis Walker Institute, the working group will set goals for the current academic year and the upcoming academic year, as well as long-term goals for the institute. These said goals will define the direction of the institute for the next five years. Among the items for the working group’s consideration is to determine whether the unit is appropriately designated, given the current WMU definitions of “center” and “institute.” Discussions by the committee will provide analysis, conclusions, and recommendations that will be offered to the provost in a report due on November 20, 2006.
