And to its credit, the Administration has been forthright in providing the leadership necessary to deal effectively with these problems. Therefore, I am taking this opportunity to call upon our Administration to plan for the timely environmental evaluation of all of our work environments. Only then can the cloud of questions hanging over the campus begin to be lifted. It is probably also time we re-thought the organizational status of occupational health and safety on the campus. As always we stand ready to assist the Administration in these important undertakings.
All faculty are welcome and encouraged to attend.

To that end he sees the biggest challenge as the viewpoint that public institutions need to be self-supporting. There is a different mindset in other parts of the country regarding public support for higher education.
