About the Academic Leaders Toolkit

The Academic Leader's Toolkit was created in summer 2022 as a refresh and rebranding of the earlier "Chair's Toolkit". Its suggestion box is curated by the Special Faculty Advisor to the Chancellor on Compliance and Community. If you have changes to suggest, please use the "Suggestion Box."

Below is a log of edits to the toolkit since its creation.
