University Leadership Council
The University Leadership Council was created by Wayne State President Kimberly Andrews Espy, Ph.D., and supported by Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs Laurie M. Lauzon Clabo, to promote deeper connections and articulation between the work of executive and academic leaders and include and consider important shared governance perspectives.
Roles and responsibilities
- Facilitate institutional, enterprise thinking across executive and academic leadership to advance the university as a whole.
- Provide a venue for collective consideration and vetting of important operational matters from multiple perspectives, including that of our shared governance colleagues.
- Advance process improvements through consideration of campus administrative and operational practices.
- Provide input into institutional leadership initiatives such as planning, implementation and evaluation, and disseminate information from and/or gaining input into the ongoing activities and work of the executive teams.
- Assist in prioritizing initiatives and building consensus about overall campus needs, actions and outcomes.
- Intentionally link the work of the Council of Deans and the executive teams.
Fundamental to the council's work and undergirding our leadership efforts is our commitment to deep and broad engagement with our communities, as well as our fundamental lens and shared action to promote diversity, equity and inclusion.
The council, chaired by Provost Clabo, is scheduled to meet twice a month.
