Continuing Discussion of the Organizational Structures Report

June 12, 2018

As the Provost has indicated, the discussion of the organizational structures report will continue over the summer and into the fall. In this next phase, which will start later this week, we plan to host a series of discussions to explore the ideas that have not received adequate attention in forums thus far.  Each discussion will focus on an individual idea, and we hope that participants will arrive with constructive thoughts for how we might flesh out the focal idea, or develop a different approach related to that focal idea.

You are welcome to attend as many of these meetings as you like. Note that, for a few of the ideas, we have scheduled separate meetings for faculty of different ranks in order to provide more opportunity for junior faculty to give voice to their opinions.

We emphasize that these meetings are merely part of an ongoing discussion that started this spring and that will continue into the fall. We recognize that some of you may not be available, especially given the short notice. There will be additional opportunities for you to participate later this summer and in the fall.  Please be reminded that we welcome your thoughts via email to ssreview@cornell.edu or at http://blogs.cornell.edu/socialsciencestructuresdiscussion/.

We hope that those who are around campus will choose to join us.
