We acknowledge the usefulness of a full palette of multi-disciplinary courses. The use of platforms. Faculty from many disciplines must be brought together, and helped to work effectively in teams, if a Program is to function well. It usually is impossible to simply drop faculty into a large Program and expect them to find common interests spontaneously. The pull back to their disciplines may be too strong if there is not something concrete on offer in the interdisciplinary setting.
