Dear Campus Colleagues,

On behalf of the APASP Task Force, we are pleased to share another update on the important work the Task Force has been doing.  Over the course of the last month, the entire team has been working diligently to create drafts of the prioritization process for your review.  Today, we seek your feedback on the drafts of the documents listed below.  Please share comments, questions, ideas or suggestions about these documents via the online feedback form:

Deliberations continue on the following items and drafts will be provided for your review and feedback in the coming weeks:

  • Academic Programs and Administrative Services Lists
  • Academic Programs Rubric and Weights information
  • Definitions and terms in relation to rubrics, weights, and criteria
    • Reporting template and guidelines

Pilots for prioritization, described in the APASP Framework document, will begin in July. The Task Force will continue to seek feedback on the draft documents we post online today and in the near future. We plan to finalize all information for final distribution on August 18.

We would like to close by expressing our appreciation for both the opportunity to be a part of this process, as well as the privilege to work collaboratively with the campus community.  The collective commitment, dedication, and hard work within the campus community is what has made, and will continue to make our University great. Thank you for taking the time to engage in this process and provide feedback, it is helping us serve you and UM!

Sincerely,

Jennifer Zellmer-Cuaresma, Athletic Academic Services
