The charge to the committee is to evaluate VC Satterlund’s performance in the full spectrum of leadership responsibilities as Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs. Critical measures to be addressed in the review include VC Satterlund’s:
  • Leadership and vision in the administration of a comprehensive range of initiatives, services and policies to assure an extraordinary student experience at UC San Diego;
  • Representing the campus’ student affairs interests at national and system-wide meetings of peers, and coordinating with schools and community colleges, community organizations, local and state governmental agencies, and the public; 
  • Collaborating with College Provosts, and the Divisions of Undergraduate Education, Graduate Education and Postdoctoral Affairs, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion, and The Teaching + Learning Commons among others, to bring cohesion to the planning and direction of all programs that enable the academic and psycho-social success, progress, and wellbeing of UC San Diego students;
  • And, meeting the needs of a diverse student population and creating a learning environment where all students have the opportunity to succeed. 
Input from a wide cross section of campus and community stakeholders will be essential to this process. In the coming weeks, the review committee will solicit feedback on Vice Chancellor Satterlund’s performance and will strive to ensure the confidentiality of all respondents. You may receive another email from the review committee in the coming weeks inviting you to provide feedback or complete a brief online survey developed to assist with this review.

Individuals wishing to provide confidential input may also contact Chair Antony and the review committee at reviewcommvc-vcsa-l@ucsd.edu. All comments are due by March 31, 2023.
