In June, UI President
David Skorton appointed an eight-member committee
of faculty and staff to review and evaluate the Office
of the General Counsel (OGC) and make recommendations
for possible changes. The current general counsel
is Mark Schantz. The committee’s review is
limited to an evaluation of the Office of the General
Counsel rather than Schantz’s performance as
general counsel.
Because the Operations Manual requires the committee
to solicit from the University community opinions
concerning the performance of the OGC, faculty and
staff are invited to submit feedback to committee
chair David Baldus at david-baldus@uiowa.edu or to
any other member of the committee.
The committee includes: Lois Cox, lois-cox@uiowa.edu;
Barbara Eckstein, barbara-eckstein@uiowa.edu; JudieHermsen,
judie-hermsen@uiowa.edu; Bill Osborne, james-osborne@uiowa.edu;
Matt Rizzo, matthew-rizzo@uiowa.edu; Peggie Smith,
peggie-smith@uiowa.edu; and Catherine Solow, catherine-solow@uiowa.edu.
Although self-identification is not required, the
committee would appreciate knowing the name or job
title of those who comment—to enhance the understanding
of the nature of the commentator’s contacts
with the OGC. Confidentiality will be protected;
all responses will be reported in the aggregate,
and individuals will not be identified in any formal
reporting.
