Structural Solutions Work Group

To develop the framework for such a plan, President Berkman has formed a “structural solutions” workgroup to provide recommendations to the President’s Executive Committee and Cabinet, the Faculty Senate, the Provost’s Council, the Student Government Association, the Board of Trustees, and the campus community at-large on the steps necessary to maintain the financial viability of our University, while best positioning it structurally and organizationally to continue fulfilling our primary mission of student success.  The Cleveland State University Board of Trustees has been briefed on our structural solutions effort and endorses it with the recommendation to “leave nothing off the table” as the workgroup develops recommendations. 

The structural solutions workgroup will lead Phase 2 of the Path to 2020 initiative. The workgroup is comprised of two project co-chairs and nine committee members, all of whom possess a wide-spectrum of university experience.  In addition to the workgroup membership, six employees will supply staff support for the workgroup’s effort.
