Dear Academic Affairs Faculty and Staff, 

Thank you for comprehensively and thoughtfully considering the five models of college reorganization presented to you six weeks ago. The time you took to share your feedback (701 unique survey responses), and the tremendous consultation the Faculty Advisory Committees (FAC) and College Advisory Committees (CAC) did so thoroughly and carefully (more than 60 consultation documents), presented clear paths for opportunities to move forward. Thank you.
