Core Academic Matters

The Core Academic Matters (CAM) Committee was established in Spring 2024 to develop a proposal for the KSAS-only body or bodies to succeed the Homewood Academic Council (HAC). CAM’s work will unfold in parallel to a similar process in the Whiting School of Engineering (WSE) as it defines a WSE-only successor to HAC.  

Below is list of the CAM Committee membership. A draft of CAM’s charge can be found here, and we welcome feedback at this point if you wish to share it. Initial subcommittee rosters, summaries of CAM meetings, and key communications to the Krieger School Faculty are also posted on this site.
