Dean Tokaji five-year review

The Office of the Provost is conducting a five-year review of Dan Tokaji, Dean of the Law School. This review is a normal part of our evaluation and support procedures. As part of this review, the provost has appointed Dr. Irwin Goldman, Professor, College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, to chair a committee to gather feedback from faculty, staff, and partners of the college.

Survey

The UW Survey Center will be distributing a survey via email to the Law School’s faculty, staff, and select partners. The confidential survey is your chance to provide feedback about the dean’s leadership across multiple areas of the college. We anticipate the survey being emailed to you starting Wednesday, March 5, 2025. If you would like to complete the survey but haven’t received a link by March 12, 2025, please fill out a brief form to request a link.

Individual Conversation

Instead of completing the survey, you may provide your feedback by meeting virtually or in person with two members of the review committee. To request a confidential interview, please fill out a brief form by March 14, 2025. A committee member will be in touch to schedule the interview.
