Targeted outreach programs and source of funds. Effective way of dealing with work environment issues in the classroom. Exposed to the cutting edge. Less emphasis placed on the evaluations of faculty performance. Less emphasis on industry experience.
College is proactive.
University provides a better product through its graduates. Flexibility of groups addressing issues or initiatives. Standing committees waiting for something to be assigned to them. Would be better to identify the issue and then assign the groups by expertise. Dissolve current committees and assign committees as needed.
