The Office of the Provost is conducting a review of Glenda Gillaspy, Dean of the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. This review is a normal part of our evaluation and support procedures. As part of this review, the provost has appointed a committee to gather feedback from faculty, staff, and partners of the school.
Survey
The college’s faculty, staff, and select partners will receive an email with a link to a confidential survey starting February 4, 2026. This is your opportunity to share your experiences and perspectives on Dean Gillaspy’s leadership and the direction of the college. The survey takes only a few minutes, but your feedback will play a major role in shaping the committee’s report.
Interview Option
Instead of completing the survey, the college’s faculty, staff, and partners may provide feedback in conversation with two members of the review committee. To request a confidential interview, please complete a brief form by February 26, 2026. A committee member will follow up to schedule a time with you.
