Women's Commission Launches Survey on Child Care

Dear Members of the University Community:

Child care is an issue of significant public interest, and the President's Commission on the Status of Women is aware of its impact on working families at the University of New Hampshire. In an effort to learn more about these families and their child care providers, the commission has developed a survey to collect data on child care concerns, needs, and experiences. Nationally, families face issues related to the availability, quality, and cost of child care; this survey attempts to capture similar data.

As president, I applaud the commission for undertaking this study and request your participation in the survey process. Your input is important to identifying critical issues faced by many UNH families utilizing child care services.

Thank you in advance for taking time out of your busy schedule to complete the attached survey. The data collected will yield valuable information on child care services for working families.

Ann Weaver Hart
President

Mallory Reappointed Provost

As many of you know, Provost Bruce Mallory underwent a comprehensive review of his performance during fall semester. This review included feedback to me from faculty, deans, staff, trustees, and colleagues, as well as a detailed assessment of our vision for the future of the University of New Hampshire. Following the conclusion of that review, I am pleased to announce that Provost Mallory has accepted my offer of reappointment as Provost and Executive Vice President of the University of New Hampshire.

I want to thank all of you who took the time to respond to my request for feedback and to the Agenda Committee of the Faculty Senate for conducting an extensive survey and providing thoughtful analysis of the data gathered as a result of that survey. In addition to helpful feedback directly to me regarding Provost Mallory's performance, suggestions for ways in which the leadership and structure of administration at UNH might be improved were received. You will see some changes in the months to come as a result of that feedback.

Again, thank you all for participating in this important review. Please join me in welcoming Provost Mallory to an ongoing appointment as Provost and Executive Vice President.

Ann Weaver Hart
President
