Bruce Szelest (bszelest@uamail.albany.edu)

The AIR/US News Advisory Committee was established in 2001 as a sub-committee of AIR’s Higher Education Data Policy Committee (HEDPC). The Advisory Committee, comprised of representatives from public and private and large and small colleges and universities, provides a venue for effective dialogue with US News representatives. The group meets in person once a year on Sunday afternoon at the AIR Forum and has e-mail discussions throughout the year as issues/problems/questions arise.

Membership on the Advisory Committee is for a 3-year term, renewable one successive time. If you would like to be considered for membership, please send an e-mail to Bruce Szelest (bszelest@uamail.albany.edu) stating reasons why you should be selected. Consideration will be given to all applications received by close-of-business on December 1, 2009.

In addition, the Advisory Committee has also developed a wiki to better inform the AIR membership about the work of the Advisory Committee, and to provide a more systematic means for getting issues of interest to the AIR membership on its annual agenda. Please visit www.airweb.org/KeyLinks and follow the AIR/US News Advisory Committee link. The wiki resource contains minutes from the Advisory Committee’s meetings, as well as other resources pertaining to the US News rankings.
