Governance
Workstreams and Committees
The strategic academic planning is executed using committees and representative members across the university.
Academic Strategy Steering Committee
Workstreams
Each of the four Workstreams represents one of the four high-level goals in the academic strategy: research; undergraduate education; graduate, professional, and postdoctoral programs; and societal engagement and impact. The Workstreams foster crosscutting strategic alignment, information, and collaborative workflow in their designated areas, and propose priorities and potential initiatives for NYUAD’s growth and development. The workstreams have an operational role to undertake as well as a strategic trajectory.
-
The Senior Academic Leadership Team brings together the academic leadership for information sharing, deliberation, and debate on the alignment of the academic strategy and resource allocation with regard to the priorities and recommendations brought forward by the Workstreams and other groups. The Leadership Team is advisory to the Provost.
