Progress to Date
During 2022, in response to the Future of Work charge, a subcommittee of representatives from across the university was established to address issues and develop possible solutions related to child and family care. Thanks in large part to the efforts of this group, the new Michigan Medicine child care center is now well underway, with initial Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) signed by U-M and an external supplier who will be managing the site. The center is projected to open in Fall 2025.
During 2022 and 2023, the working group also contributed to drafts of child and family care proposals that have been reviewed and approved by UHR leadership but are currently awaiting further U-M leadership approval and the release of designated funding. A DEI 2.0 working group to contribute to next steps will be established once funding has been approved.
