A Call for University Action: Collaborating for the Future - WIU

Western Illinois University President Jack Thomas met with vice presidents, deans, directors and department chairs on Sept. 7 to discuss finances, communication and implementation of the "Positioning Western Illinois University for the Future" plan. "We need everyone on board to ensure that every person within his or her department understands the budget situation and why certain decisions are being made. People may not agree with these decisions, but it is up to each of us here today to explain and communicate the decisions that are made to ensure this University's future," Thomas told a crowd of approximately 100 in attendance. "Every University leader is responsible for communicating information. It is vital for all of us to know what is happening at our University. It is important for us to convey accurate information with our employees and colleagues. We must work together to move Western forward." http://www.wiu.edu/news/newsrelease.php?release_id=15764
