David Backer


Department: Educational Foundations and Policy Stu

My recent research has focused on public education funding law and policy across the K-12 and higher education levels. I also have been active in the union as a Department Representative as well as a State Delegate for the last four years. I have been interested in combining my research experience with budgets and finance with my experience in the union, and I would be honored to serve in this capacity.

Department: Graduate Social Work

Hi everyone! I hope you are well during these abnormal times. I seek your support in serving as the CESW representative on the University Budget Review Committee. I previously served as the Council of Chairs' representative to the Budget Review Committee and would like to continue this service to our University. I am committed to asking questions that provide greater transparency to the budget and related processes as we prepare for post-pandemic realities. Thanks and be well!
