To UTALK Contributors,
I would like to reach out to you during this transitional time and encourage you to continue using UTALK as a means of communication with myself and System administrators.
UTALK remains an incredibly useful tool for gathering feedback and insight, and I want to ensure you it will continue throughout my time as acting president.
Nearly 700 comments, questions, and ideas have been received through UTALK - many of which were cost-savings suggestions that have been carefully considered and already implemented in order to save our campuses and institutes money during these tough times. While savings-related submissions are important and are always needed, comments of any kind are welcome.
I will continue to look for ways to communicate important messages and share news that affects your daily life and hope you will remain engaged as we move the University forward.
Jan Simek
