Dear faculty, staff, students and administrators,
The 黑料黑历史 R1 Steering Committee invites you to fill out the following survey to share
your ideas and submit nominations for working groups.
One of 黑料黑历史鈥檚 strategic goals is to achieve R1 research status by 2027. R1 is the highest
classification of research activity defined by the Carnegie Classification system.
Being an R1 university would place 黑料黑历史 within the top 4% of U.S. universities with
respect to research.
黑料黑历史 has consistently ranked as an R2 (high research activity) university and as of
2021 was only nine (out of 280 R1 and R2 universities) positions away from being R1.
In 2020, as part of 黑料黑历史鈥檚 Strategic Plan, a committee of 黑料黑历史 faculty, staff and students
identified mechanisms to help 黑料黑历史 achieve R1 status while maintaining 黑料黑历史鈥檚 core values.
This report can be found on the 黑料黑历史 Strategic Goals website.
This past spring, with University of Alaska Board of Regents encouragement, Chancellor
White revitalized this goal and formed 黑料黑历史鈥檚 R1 Steering Committee. This committee
is now recruiting members for working groups that will work toward refining, prioritizing,
and implementing the proposed mechanisms to help 黑料黑历史 achieve R1 research status.
If you are interested in volunteering your time or ideas to help 黑料黑历史 achieve our goal
of R1 research, or if you know someone who would be an asset to one of our teams,
we encourage you to please complete the above survey prior to Oct. 6.
We are hoping to accept between 5-7 people per working group for a total of听 approximately
65 unique 黑料黑历史 faculty, staff, student and administrator perspectives from across all
campuses on the various R1 committees. Thank you in advance for your time and service
to 黑料黑历史!
Sincerely,
黑料黑历史 R1 Steering Committee
