Investigate a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Science Education, or another related area. This has been discussed in the past year. Reorganize the Computer Science Faculty into a separate Department. In May 1994, the Administration proposed that Computer Science be split from Mathematics and combined with Physics. After lengthy discussions, the Physics Department was joined to the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science.
Reorganization depends upon continued support for faculty and equipment.
Develop clear lines of funding and support for equipment and resources. The Computer Labs serve the University, the School and the Department. Funding for them comes from three or four sometimes conflicting sources. Develop more space dedicated to computing, especially since dedicated laboratories are desired in areas such as Data Structures, Software Engineering, and Graphics. Move most of the curriculum into the Sun environment.
