Subcommittees

Purpose: This sub-committee will identify suitable Dean, Director, Faculty, and Facility representatives to interview on topics related to research infrastructure as well as perform interviews in appropriate formats (1-on-1, groups, town hall meeting, etc.).It would be especially important to receive feedback from recently recruited faculty. The sub-committee should consider interviewing architects who have designed plans for recent infrastructure projects on campus.

Members:

-Colin Dimock
-Leif Havton (lead)
-Victoria Marks
-Susan Santon

Purpose: This sub-committee will identify suitable universities such as other UC campuses and other public and private institutions with a campus research complexity that is similar to the one at UCLA as well as reach out and obtain information about how a variety of research infrastructure decisions are made on those other campuses. How these projects are financed on other campuses would also be useful information.

Members:
