February 6, 2009
To: The Campus Community
Earlier this week, I reported that I would be forming a Task Force on Reorganization to provide advice about the proposal I have made on college reorganization and to explore as well the possibility of a College of Arts and Sciences, or any other alternate organizational structure that it finds appropriate for the campus. Today, I am pleased to announce that the following individuals have agreed to serve on this Task Force, which includes several heads and chairs from affected departments as well as faculty members suggested by the Faculty Senate:
- Jane Fountain, Professor, Department of Political Science, Task Force Chair
- Danny Schnell, Professor and Head, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
- Shaw Ling Hsu, Professor and Head, Department of Polymer Science and Engineering
- Andrew Barto, Professor and Chair, Department of Computer Science
- Joseph Bartolomeo, Professor and Chair, Department of English
- Julie Hayes, Professor and Chair, Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures
- Jeff Cox, Professor and Chair, Department of Music and Dance
- John Hird, Professor and Chair, Department of Political Science
- Douglas Anderton, Professor, Department of Sociology, and Acting Chair, Department of Communication
- Melinda Novak, Professor and Chair, Department of Psychology
- Paul Fisette, Professor and Head, Department of Natural Resources Conservation
- Samuel Black, Professor and Head, Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences
- Eric Decker, Professor and Head, Department of Food Science
- Joseph Berger, Associate Professor and Chair, Department of Educational Policy, Research and Administration
- Jane Miller, Associate Professor, Department of Management
- Robert Faulkner, Professor of Sociology
I have also forwarded the reorganization proposal to the Faculty Senate for its review. And I hope to continue to receive input from the faculty in general.
Again, I thank everyone who has participated in the process to this point for their input and for the understanding so many have shown of the budgetary necessity for reorganization. I continue to believe that we must do everything we can to ensure the efficiency of our administrative structures so that we can provide the maximum possible protection for the core academic functions of the campus.
