Reaccreditation video project: Being a responsible and sustainable campus

The third installment in a weekly video report showcasing major ideas emerging from the UW-Madison 2009 Reaccreditation Project features housing director Paul Evans and library sciences professor Louise Robbins.

View the duo’s discussion of the theme “Being a Responsible and Sustainable Public Institution.”

Each video features interviews with leaders of the six reaccreditation “theme teams.” The teams were built around the top priorities for UW–Madison’s future, as identified through extensive input from faculty, staff, students, alumni and the public.

The “theme teams” forged recommendations for the university that are being finalized in a report to the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.

Evans and Robbins were charged with exploring the ethical issues shaping the university’s future. The video represents an overview of the team’s ideas; visit this site for an in-depth report.

This video series was co-produced for the Reaccreditation Project by University Communications and the Instructional Media Development Center (IMDC) in the School of Education.
