LSU Transition Advisory Team subcommittee members announced

LSU today invited 60 people to be a part of five subcommittees it’s creating to get information in specific areas of focus to help the LSU System become more efficient and competitive. Each of the subcommittees—Academic, Finance and Revenue, Technology and Operations, Research and Discovery, and Student Experience—will meet no fewer than three times and report to the Transition Advisory Team. The team, in turn, will provide reports to the LSU Board of Supervisors, which has all authority for the reorganization of the university system. The 10-member Transition Advisory Team and five subcommittees announced today are initiatives of LSU2015, a plan launched earlier this month to align the university over the next two years. The Board of Supervisors is merging the jobs of system president and chancellor of the flagship campus in Baton Rouge as part of a planned revamp of the multicampus university system. Though the redesign hasn’t yet been fleshed out, a search is ongoing for a new president. The Transition Advisory Team is expected to complete a final list of recommendations in July. Subcommittee members were nominated by the chancellors of each campus in the LSU System and nominated by William Jenkins, interim president of the LSU System and interim chancellor of LSU. Additional members may be added to the subcommittees as necessary or as members become unavailable to participate. You can check out a complete list of the subcommittee members announced today here.
