Comment:  The committee needs to have non-TTT faculty on it.

Comment:  Make sure the two processes talk to each other so as to find common conversations, common topics.

Comment:  Tuition is too high.

Comment:  We must think about how we reach the public.

Comment:  Given the growth of the Denver-Boulder corridor, we should be reaching out to young, fun companies to see what they are doing.

Q.  Are you going to split up the College of Arts and Sciences?

            A.  That is not the plan or goal of this process.  The AF process will take up any ideas that are presented, including academic reorganization.

  • We need to pay attention to how many adjuncts we're hiring.
  • Humanities needs to be better connected with everything else. It should not be considered as part of something separate.
  • There needs to be some discussions about keeping tuition low.
  • Are there outside members on the SPC and AF committees?
  • What about the break up rumors (separate colleges)?
  • The process seems rushed, is there something coming down the pike we should be worried about?
  • Where should faculty concentrate their efforts here?
