We want to share with you the information and data that has partly been guiding our committee. Specifically, we have attached the statistical analysis we did for each restructuring proposal we received. As you consider your responses to the questions below we also hope you will review our original objectives and assumptions regarding a college to anchor the downtown campus. Those are attached as well. Please keep in mind that at this time we are only focusing on restructuring issues related to the configuration of colleges.
Many important issues regarding the larger restructuring recommendations remain to be considered.
For example, scheduling and location of courses, as well as location of faculty will need to be addressed at the college level with full faculty participation. We will be dealing with these and seeking your input on those issues once we have resolved the college configuration issue. We would also call to your attention the original recommendation of the Reorganization Committee to use the academic year September 2000 to September 2001 to engage faculty and staff in each College in the development of a College Transition Plan that would attend to many specific issues. Faculty responses or ideas should be sent to their College representative on the Committee. The Committee will prepare a summary of all your responses for distribution to the campus.
