[email protected]. 2019-2020 ACADEMIC SENATE PROGRAM REVIEW OF UNIVERSITY EXTENSION Introduction This report of the Internal Review Team for the 2019-2020 review of University Extension (UNEX) follows eight years after the prior Academic Senate Program Review of UNEX in 2011-2012. The current review draws primarily on a two-day site visit held on January 14-15, 2020, the prior Academic Senate Program Review Report from 2011-2012, the UNEX self-review of 2019, and the Huron Report of 2018; for the figures and other specific information, we relied on the Self- Review report and other data provided by the Academic Senate. We concur with the previous two reports in that “this is a somewhat daunting task, because of the sheer size of the UNEX enterprise”. This review comes at a time of transition. The new Dean Eric Bullard began his appointment in January of 2020, a week before our visit. At this time, neither of the two Associate Dean positions had been filled.
