Thanks, Arnie. My take is that it isn't broken and we wouldn't be thinking about this if there were not a suggestion on the table to create a College of Public Health, putting in it the things that go in such a college and moving out of HP and HHP the things that would work better elsewhere, even if those are second-best locations. The HHP people don't think things are broke either and we would not be talking about changes in their location if the College of Public Health were not on the table. In fact, nobody thinks anything is broke, except the art historians want to move to CLAS and an economic geographer wants to move to real estate. If we were just fixing broke things we would quickly pack up our tents. But if the trustees are going to make serious changes in structure, lots of not broken things are going to be discombobulated, and the hope is that the overchange will greatly benefit the university over time. So we're dealing with a hypothetical question that could become a real question: What is the second best placement of many academic disciplines that will need a new placement if their colleges disappear? Or, how will they fit in a new structure, assuming that the trustees decide that a new structure would advance the university's movement forward and better utilize the resources at their disposal? I looked at psychology, but it would be good to do this kind of ""industry analysis"" for all of these disciplines. For example, I incidently came across a lot of examples of health colleges that included and combined areas in HP and HHP (including Travel, Parks and Recreation with occupational therapy and others), though never clinical psychology so I didn't pursue it systematically. This is a very time-consuming process and everything is logically related to everything else. What is clinical psychology's ""second-best"" placement? Well, the models for running an academic degree program (as opposed to clinical services and some limited clinical training) out of psychiatry are not robust or compelling, but they are more common than our model. The models in liberal arts are clearly superior and placement there doesn't seem to interfere one bit with excellent clinical training -- that's what all excellent programs above us and the overwhelming majority of those below us on the rankings do. Actually, I would assume that nothing would necessarily change in terms of clinical training and services -- and that's probably beyond our scope anyway. Perhaps in the wild and woolly 60s it couldn't be worked out in our psychology department and it made sense to break away, but 40 years later no one in the top 100 has followed our lead. We are alone. If replacing clinical in the CLAS psychology department places too much pressure on the larger psychology department, I noticed another model followed in a few universities, and that is a division between the biologically-oriented psychology fields and the behavioral and health psychology fields in different departments in liberal arts. Or, perhaps a ""school"" of the clinical and applied psychologies within liberal arts make sense; however, the Denver and Rutgers models would not suggest this is a way to get better. It seems to work better to have clinical and other applied psychologies embedded in the root discipline. So, there are several possibilities, all hypothetical and dependent on whether any colleges will be restructured at all. I think we need to look at the best practices in the industry and not be too influenced by the local history and politics.

Yesterday (I have no life, and Ralph was on call), I reviewed the university web pages for the top 100 clinical psychology departments (based on USNews/WR), trying to see whether that was just a characteristic of the very elite programs. I found several things. Of course, this information is no better than what departments put on the web; however, they use the web to recruit, so probably it is reasonably up to date. 1. UF is ranked 19-24 -- that is, it is tied for 19 with five other programs. Every department ranked above 25 except Florida is located in a psychology department in a college of liberal arts and sciences, or the functional equivalent. This is the Dominant Model. 2. Every program between 25 and 100 is a Ph.D. program that follows the Dominant Model except: · two are in Colleges of Education (Peabody/Vanderbilt, ranked 28-34 and Curry/Virginia, ranked 80) · two are run in conjunction with a psychiatry department (UC-SD/SDSU, ranked 54, and UTexas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, ranked 66-75) · one is run by a psychiatry department (Northwestern, ranked 67-75) · one is in a school of psychology rather than a department of psychology, but apparently within arts and sciences (Clark University, ranked 67); and · two offer a Psy.D. (Baylor, in an arts and science department, ranked 83, and Rutgers as a second program, in addition to the Ph.D., possibly unranked -- it was not clear from either USNews or the Rutgers webpage). 3. UF's is the only top 100 clinical psychology Ph.D. program located in a college of health professions, or allied health or anything like that, and the only one in a health center that is not in psychiatry. There must be some interesting history of how it got there, but it is distinct and anomalous. None are located in Colleges of Public Health or anything like that. 4. There are no ranked free-standing schools of psychology that I can find, unless it is Clark University (67); but it may simply be a large department within arts and sciences. The University of Denver has a Graduate School of Professional Psychology that offers a Psy.D. degree, but it is unranked, while the Ph.D. program in the arts and sciences psych department at Denver is ranked 54. Similarly, Rutgers has a School of Applied and Professional Psychology that gives a Psy.D., not a Ph.D., and may or may not be ranked. This doesn’t mean there could not be a good school of psychology, but the data reveals no compelling trend. There are none ahead of us in the rankings and the existing ones are distinctly inferior. 5. It is not unusual for psychiatry departments in medical schools to have a significant number of clinical psychologists and even to have divisions of psychology within them that run APA-approved pre-doctoral internship programs and postdoctoral training programs – in fact, some of the best psychiatry departments do this. But rarely ever does a psychiatry department run a Ph.D. program in clinical psychology (Northwestern; UC-SD) and those that do are not as well-ranked as comparable programs run in departments of psychology in arts and sciences colleges. 6. The Dominant Model is for Ph.D. programs to reside in liberal arts colleges and for faculty members to have research relationships and joint appointments in cognate fields throughout the university, including the health center colleges where there is a health center. The data demonstrates that highly ranked clinical psychology Ph.D. programs not only do not need to be in an academic health center, but that the existence of an academic health center in the university also is not necessary for their success. I'll hand out the backup for these 100 programs at the next TF meeting. A caveat: I was attracted to this problem for two reasons. First, psychology is a critical piece of the puzzle of HHP/HP/PH, because it just does not seem, to me, to fit with the disciplines that might go into a College of Public Health; and the other components of HP, as well as many components of HHP, arguably could fit if the university decided to commence a College of Public Health. Second, probably I attended more closely than others to the back and forth between psychiatry and psychology on the web because Ralph is in psychiatry. In any event, it seemed useful to me to get data on the table in order to approach the issues with more complete knowledge. I hope this is useful to others.

As we discussed, there were several points of clarification I wanted to make regarding the proposed ""UF School of Psychology"" within the proposed merger of the Health and Human Performance and Health Profession Colleges but was unable to do so during the subcommittee meeting. First, I hope that Drs. Heesacker and I will be able to speak directly to the subcommittee at some time to discuss the pros and cons of a School of Psychology. We have overlapping views in many areas as well as issues specific to our present, strong connections to our home colleges. Similarly, being able to bring forward our faculty members' concerns as well as their positive thoughts about such a proposed school would be illuminating to all. At the subcommittee meeting there was a discussion of some concerns about possible problems with ""accreditation"" should psychology programs be moved from their present reporting arrangements here at UF. I spoke on the phone about this issue with Dr. Gerhardt on Thursday. I am presently the Chair of the American Psychological Association's Board of Educational Affairs; the Board that directly oversees the Association's Committee on Accreditation [CoA]. The CoA accredits doctoral programs, internships, and post doctoral programs in clinical psychology, counseling psychology, and school psychology. From my first hand knowledge of accreditation, I do not believe that any of the nationally accredited programs here at UF would be in jeopardy if we were to establish a UF School of Psychology as long as institutional support and proper resources remain in place. As a matter of fact, the integration of programs might be seen as adding to already strong programs with increased resources, shared programming, shared faculty, and a wider student culture of psychologists with whom to identify. I am aware that there has been much discussion about whether other models for such schools exist nationally and concerns that psychology is traditionally based in liberal arts colleges. However, that tradition stems from Psychology's roots in the academy within departments of philosophy and much has changed since those early days when psychology departments were established independently from philosophy. I believe that faculty in all psychology units across campus would agree that, while we respect our roots in philosophy (and continue to teach the history of those original philosophical systems), our field has developed into a strong, basic-scientific field with a wide range of applied research and applications that reach across many arenas. When looking at UF's peer institutions it would be helpful to look at sources of external funding and the number of psychologists funded for research within the health care arena, for example, just to illustrate the number of psychology's who reside outside the traditional liberal arts focus. As can be seen with the success of our own Department of Clinical and Health Psychology's national reputation, and basic and applied research funding, Psychology has a strong focus on health issues ranging from the study of healthy behaviors to disease prevention to tertiary care and exists very successfully outside a liberal arts environment. Similarly, on our own campus, other successful psychology programs exist outside of liberal arts. Such is the case for the sports psychology faculty in Health and Human Performance and those psychologists in Education and Business here on campus. Our psychologist colleagues in CLAS, in the basic sciences of psychology (cognitive, learning, emotion, developmental, social psychology, etc.), have a strong tradition of scholarship as well, and their work both stands alone in theory development as well as in application to biological sciences, health, human development, and learning. The proposed integration of these basic sciences with the applied aspects of psychology make for a strong model that would propel UF into a leadership role in the future development of psychology as science and profession. A school that recognizes the independence of clinical & health psychology, counseling psychology, the basic psychological sciences, and any of the other areas of psychology on campus if there was a decision to include them, makes for the ""whole is greater than the sum of the parts"" conclusion that the subcommittee has discussed. Considering national models; according to the Association of Medical School Psychologists, there are over 4000 psychologists within academic health care centers and hospitals across the United States. Some of those individuals reside within organized units like our Department of Clinical and Health Psychology while others are in smaller groups or work independently in health centers isolated from their peers. The national movement in psychology is to bring those individuals together within health science centers to make for a strong home department that supports the academic mission of psychology and autonomy of psychology while enhancing the faculty and student identification as psychologists. We have done that in our own health center here at UF and the proposed UF School of Psychology would likewise take a lead in strengthening Psychology on campus and reflect the national trend for psychology's integration. It was mentioned at your last subcommittee meeting that there are 54 separate ""divisions"" within the American Psychological Association as witness to the diversity of the field and the forces pushing the field apart. Interestingly, one of mottos of the APA is ""strength through divisions"" and attests to the national trend to recognize the breadth of the intellectual traditions of the field while clearly focusing on the academic and applied integration of these various subfields of Psychology. The proposed School of Psychology would be a model of this integration. There was discussion regarding seeking outside consultation on several of the matters considered by the Subcommittee. While Dr. Heesacker, our Deans, and I continue to discuss this matter with our faculties, I would suggest that we seek a reaction to the proposed UF School of Psychology from several American Psychological Association [past] Presidents who might give us a national perspective on such a proposed model. I would suggest the following individuals be asked for their opinions; Dr. Phil Zimbardo, of Standford, in liberal arts, is a basic scientist in psychology [he is the present President]; Dr. Joseph Matarazzo, one of the grandparents of health psychology, an applied scientist, and former chair of a free standing, health science center based, clinical psychology program; Dr. Pat DeLeon, an expert on national health care policy; Dr. Robert Resnick, retired chair of a health science center based psychology program and an applied researcher; Dr. Norman Abeles, of Michigan State's liberal arts psychology program with an expertise in gero-psychology; Dr. Norine Johnson, former training director and independent practitioner in psychology; Dr. Marty Seligman, a liberal arts based, basic and applied research from the University of Pennsylvania, and Dr. Raymond Fowler, former chair of a liberal arts psychology department and current CEO of the American Psychological Association. Similarly, there are numerous leaders in Psychology who serve as university presidents, provosts, and deans, from whom we might seek counsel on this matter as well (I can provide their names as well). It is my belief that these recognized leaders in Psychology, with their diverse experience in liberal arts, academic health science centers, academic administration, science, or practice, will appreciate and support how a broad-based, scientifically oriented, school of psychology, with its foundation in the health science center and the proposed new college, will become a national model for the field of psychology. Thank you for the opportunity to correspond with you once again. I look forward to the ongoing discussions of the proposed new college and the opportunities that the proposed UF School of Psychology will afford our faculty, students, University and Psychology on a national level. I look forward to talking with you soon. Sincerely, Ronald H. Rozensky, Ph.D. Professor and Chair Ronald H.

Handing out recommendations only at the time of the meeting won't allow enough time for faculty to consider the recommendations in advance nor to discuss with colleagues.

Afterwards I spent some time on the web pondering the question of where first rate clinical psychology programs normally are located. I started with the latest US News and World Report rankings of clinical psych programs and found 8 identified in the top 5 (ties). Then I explored the web sites of those 8 universities, looking for Ph.D. programs in clinical psych and for clinical psychologists in whatever part of the university. Here is what I found: UCLA. The Ph.D. program in clinical psychology is in the Psychology Department in arts and sciences. In addition, the Neuropsychiatric Institute in the medical center includes many neuropsychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists and clinical psychologists on the faculty. Indiana-Bloomington. The Ph.D. program in clinical psychology is in the Psychology Department in arts and sciences on the Bloomington campus. In addition, the Psychology Department offers degrees in Clinical Rehabilitation and the Psychology of Addiction at IUPUI in Bloomington. The Medical School in Bloomington has psychologists as members of the faculty of various departments with a significant number in the department of Psychiatry. Washington (Seattle). The Ph.D. program in Adult and Child Clinical Psychology is in the Department of Psychology in arts and sciences. In the medical school there is a Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences with a significant number of psychologists. There are also psychologists in other medical school departments. In addition, there is a School of Public Health that has biobehavioral cancer prevention and control, whose faculty have a rich array of backgrounds including psychology, sociology, epidemiology, mass communciation, oncology, biostats, pharmacology and nutrition. Wisconsin (TATA). The Ph.D. program in clinical psychology is in the Psychology Department in the College of Letters and Science. Various departments in the medical school have psychologists as faculty members, primarily neuropsychologists and clinical psychologists. UC-Berkeley. The Ph.D. program in clinical psychology is in the College of Letters and Sciences. There is a School of Public Health with a department of Health and Social Behavior, but it does not have a critical mass of clinical psychologists on the faculty. There is no medical school (well, across the Bay at upstarts in SF and Palo Alto, but not at Berkeley). Minnesota. The Ph.D. program in clinical psychology is in the Department of Psychology in Liberal Arts and Sciences, and it is offered in conjunction with the Institute of Child Development, which is in Education. The Neurology Department in the medical school has an APA approved psychology internship, and the psychiatry department in the medical school inclludes psychologists, behavioral pharmacologists, counseling psychologists and psychbiologists (on the tenure track faculty) as well as clinical psychologists on the faculty. There is a School of Public Health with lots of various kinds of social scientists but no clinical psychologists on the faculty that I could find. UNC-Chapel Hill. The Ph.D. program in clinical psychology is in the Department of Psychology in Arts and Sciences. There are psychologists, including clinical psychologists, on the faculty in several departments in the medical school. There is a College of Public Health but it has no discernible presence of clinical psychologists. Yale. The Ph.D. program in clinical psychology is in the Psychology Department in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (recall that undergraduate is in Yale College). The medical schoool has lots of neuropsychologists and clinical psychologists on the faculty in neurology and psychiatry. The is a program in Episdemiology and Public Health but it has no discernible presence of clinical psychologists. In all cases above, when I report that there are psychologists somewhere, I mean on the tenure track faculty, as best I can tell. Here is what I would generalize from looking at these eight universities with top Ph.D. programs in clinical psychology: 1. Psychology is a broad and intellectually rich discipline that can be found in colleges of liberal arts, education, and medicine (and actually business, too, and probably lots of places). It is, in fact, commonplace for psychologists of various types to hold faculty positions in colleges in a health complex. 2. The best Ph.D. programs in clinical psychology invariably are located administratively in Departments of Psychology in colleges of liberal arts and sciences (or jointly with Education at Minnesota). 3. The best Ph.D. programs in clinical psychology are not housed in the medical complex or in colleges of public health in universities that do not have medical complexes. I hope this adds somewhat to the Task Force's knowledge base as it addresses the complex issues associated with possible changes in the colleges of Health Professions and Health and Human Performance, and possible new College of Public Health.

Distinction will mean different things, quantitatively but not qualitatively, at the promotion to associate and promotion to full level, and this might be stated. These should be linked, not disconnected, in the sense that we should be looking, at the associate decision level, at the probability that the candidate will achieve sufficient distinction over time to be promoted to the full level. We should be trying to identify achievements and qualities that would make us confident that this assistant professor is going to get to full in a timely manner, or at least a not untimely manner. Since we are writing university-wide standards, you will want to consider the circumstances of the professional schools, such as law or medicine, where participation in Ph.D. committees and so forth would not be the relevant standard of research leadership for many faculty members, if not most of them. That is, a phrase about professional training or graduate-level teaching or something, would make sense -- not instead of success with Ph.D. students but as an additional alternative measure of research leadership. Also, I would favor three-year reviews at the college level, so that evidence of the three year review exists in the sixth year tenure and promotion package. I would not favor a university-level three year review. We have had three year reviews for a long long time, and my experience of them is that they are intensely valuable, but informality and speed is an important part of the value. In our college, the assistant professor assembles a package of resume plus teaching portfolio plus actual publications, working papers, even ideas on paper -- everything that represents a work product. A department committee reviews it and writes a report, which does not go to the candidate or outside the college, in some cases outside the department. The chairman then writes a letter to the dean describing the department's view of the ultimate question: ""Is this person making adequate progress toward tenure and promotion to associate?"" Then the research package and the chairman's letter is forwarded to the dean, who shares it with groups who advise him -- the college T and P committee and the department heads. The dean advises the chairman what to say to the candidate about whether he or she is making adequate progress toward tenure and promotion. That is communicated orally and also it is summarized in some detail in the annual letter of evaluation. That letter of evaluation says it is also the result of the third year review. Thus, that annual letter of evaluation will show up eventually in the candidate's tenure and promotion package. I do not think it would be useful to ship the whole thing off to Tigert Hall for another layer of review. Our whole process takes a relatively short time and the spirit of it is 1) to alert the candidate to problems, but not to drive off people we want to keep; 2) to give the department faculty and collothers heads up about how an assistant is doing -- providing data rather than impressions; 3) to help the evolution of college thinking about how standards are developing. And, btw, I don't know whether this perception holds up at the university level, since I have never served in the T and P process at the university level, but it appears within the college that performance -- and therefore expectations -- are rising rapidly.

I spent Friday at State College PA talking to ag administrators about cross college biology programs. Virtually everyone felt that universities are moving away from departments and tenure towards flexible interdisciplinary groupings and five year contracts. They have a very effective cross college life sciences consortium for graduate education in biology which I think we could tweak to do undergrad ed in biology with an assortment of interdisciplinary majors. Since going across departments is going to be alot more appealing to some than others, given the life blood of student credit hours, I thought that before presenting this idea to subcommittee or task force I should discuss it with the people who currently get credit for educating undergrads in bio and those who are discussing an undergrad bio major.

Our whole process takes a relatively short time and the spirit of it is 1) to alert the candidate to problems, but not to drive off people we want to keep; 2) to give the department faculty and collothers heads up about how an assistant is doing -- providing data rather than impressions; 3) to help the evolution of college thinking about how standards are developing. And, btw, I don't know whether this perception holds up at the university level, since I have never served in the T and P process at the university level, but it appears within the college that performance -- and therefore expectations -- are rising rapidly.

That is, almost inevitably one could support more Ph.D. students by paying them out of monies that would go to these instructors (say beyond the one or two instructors one might need for continuity), *if* one had the capacity to educate that number of Ph.D. students and the ability to attract sufficiently qualified Ph.D. students, that is ones who can be placed at peer schools. It is my understand, for example, that demand by strong students for Ph.D. level education in the languages just is not there, and yet demand for lower division language training is there. If the situation were otherwise, maintaining a larger Ph.D. program (assuming the students could be placed) would be more likely to propel us into the top 10 publics than would hiring instructors.

I can see the argument that we ought to know the relevant things about one another that would help assess the value of our various contributions; in that regard, I am a faculty member in the college of business and I am married to a faculty member in the college of medicine, if anyone did not know that. But I think there is flawed logic in the assertion that we should not participate in discussions of recommendations that would affect colleges or academic units in which we have an interest. This is an internal university committee; we are all self-interested in any recommendation involving restructuring, because any major shift of resources will affect each college and unit positively or negatively. I think the Task Force exists so that the President and the Trustees have an organized mechanism to gain the perspective and insight of those who are affected -- self-interested if you will -- by academic restructuring. While we consider ourselves stewards of the university's interests -- and are charged to do so -- inevitably we will make recommendations from the perspective of faculty and administrators who are responsible for, and affected by, academic programs. To be more specific: I have participated actively in discussions about possible changes in the undergraduate business programs. I assume that is what I am supposed to do, since that is the part of the university I know best. I try to hold in mind a university perspective on the issues, but I have not refrained from the discussions. I'll continue to do so until someone more authoritative than the Sun says I should not participate in these discussions. Similarly, I assume the dean of engineering will not withhold knowledge about issues that would affect engineering, and the dean of medicine, medicine, and the associate dean of fine arts, fine arts, the associate dean for graduate education, graduate education, and faculty members in CLAS, CLAS, and so on. I cannot imagine that we could proceed any other way and fulfill our task. Is this a reasonable way to conceptualize the issue?

"To all - Joe's newest question raises another important point that has been evolving since the transition occurred in the state system. Ginny's comments point out something that will need close observation. My initial reaction is that if universities can work collaboratively with their CC colleagues, through technology transfer, and in effect, quality control over their development and expansion of these programs, then it will benefit the universities in the longer term. I see this benefit coming in time from the released time for university faculty who might otherwise be involved in large enrollment lower division classes being able to concentrate more on developing and expanding graduate programs and research. It is the latter that will have an impact on UF's continued improvement in its ranking. It appears that the need for students in these areas won't abate in the near term, and with UF likely to restrict further growth in the undergraduate population, then the CC's will have to be part of the solution to increased demand from students. With UF working collaboratively and providing experience [ie quality control], this will allow the state to continue to educate people in areas of high interest without deflecting substantial internal resources within UF. Properly managed, it would be a win-win situation. Plus, graduates of these ""satellite"" undergraduate programs could make good candidates for our graduate programs in nursing, education and computer sciences, something that we assumedly want to see increase over time. Perhaps others will see good/bad points with this analysis. Joe D.

We have had conversations with the relevant colleges regarding the question of clinical practice and research. We can bring this up at the Task Force meeting this Wednesday. We will discuss the role that lecturers/instructors have in the College of Business with Dean Kraft today so it makes sense from our perspective to have it on the agenda. One question that came up in our discussions with nursing had to do with raising admissions requirements as a way of controlling enrollment. It will come up today with the College of Business as well.

"I'd like to suggest another question for consideration by subcommittees and Task Force members: Question 21. There are at least three critical need areas in the state: teaching, nursing, and computer sciences. Community colleges are moving in a limited way to address these needs, and some may request permission from the state to give four year degrees in these areas. The state will probably require these CCs to work closely with a university. Santa Fe Community College may have some interest in developing programs in one or more of these areas.

It seems the best times for most would be Wednesday and Thursday, 9-10:30. If the Full Task Force suspends its meetings during this period we could begin earlier. Lets discuss this before or after tomorrow's meeting. It is important that we have maximum attendance at each of the next several meetings as we try to draw some conclusions. See you tomorrow.

My comments address one tppic: the future of the College of Natural Resources and the Environment. Based on my past participation in CNRE committees and as an affiliate faculty, the independence of the CNRE, and the fact that faculty from all units can participate on a truly equal footing has been essential to the success of the college to date. Therefore I believe that maintaining it as a freestanding college is the best and perhaps the only effectual option. I applaud your willingness to consider finally transforming the virtual college into a concrete one by empowering it to hire some faculty of its own. This is a logical and necessary next step if it is to thrive. However, based on its successful organic development to date, gradual growth rather than merger with several large departments seems the preferable option. Thank you for the opportunity to offer these comments. Alyson Flournoy Professor and Director Environmental and Land Use Law Program Univ. of Florida Levin College of Law P.O.

The College of Health Professions and the Department of Clinical and Health Psychology have prepared data-based materials to help with this strategic planning process. I know that these materials will allow a thoughtful consideration of the major issues that might affect my Department. I look forwarded to discussing those materials in more detail with you in the future. However, at the present time there are ongoing communications regarding Dr. Glover's ""20 Questions"". One of those questions, #10, specifically refers to the organizational future of the Department of Clinical and Health Psychology. Question #10 reads: What are the advantages/disadvantages of Clinical and Health Psychology (currently in the College of Health Professions) becoming a unit in psychiatry? What are the advantages and disadvantages of merging psychology, educational psychology, and clinical and health psychology, and the sports psychology group in Exercise and Sport Sciences? I respond here to the portion of that question regarding the Department of Clinical and Health Psychology ""becoming a unit in psychiatry"", leaving for future discussions the within-discipline question concerning ""merging"" CLAS Psychology, Educational Psychology, Sports Psychology, and Clinical and Health Psychology. (A discussion of that issue should involve the chairs of those departments, their faculty, and their deans with an eye towards what is best for the academic mission of the University of Florida.) I look forward to that discussion as well. Primary Educational Mission and Success of the Current Model The primary educational mission of the Department of Clinical and Health Psychology is the training and preparation of doctoral level psychologists. The Department houses two nationally accredited programs, a Ph.D. program in clinical psychology and a Predoctoral Internship in professional psychology. At both the graduate and internship levels, a general program is combined with specialty education in Clinical Child/Pediatric Psychology, Clinical Health Psychology, Neuropsychology, Neurorehabilitation, and Clinical Neuroscience, and Emotion Neuroscience/Experimental Psychopathology. Both programs adopt the scientist-practitioner approach to graduate education and training. We also have a postdoctoral fellows program with some ten fellows at this time. Our graduate students have routinely been among the most competitive applicants to the University of Florida with graduate record exam scores among the highest at UF (Average Verbal GRE 620. Average Quantitative GRE 670) and 4 matriculated Presidential Fellows (6 awarded) in the past 4 years. Our Department is ranked in the top 10% of the 209 doctoral programs in clinical psychology presently accredited by the American Psychological Association [APA]. US News & World Reports ranks the Department of Clinical and Health Psychology's doctoral program in clinical psychology as 19th among the 209 accredited programs. We are ranked 13th among AAU state university programs in clinical psychology (http://www.ir.ufl.edu/nat_rankings/us_news/clinpsych.pdf). In 2001 we received the American Psychological Association of Graduate Students' ""Department of the Year"" award. In its accompanying citation, the American Psychological Association noted that the department ""exemplified outstanding commitment to graduate students and graduate student life"" and emphasized the Department's national reputation for cutting-edge educational and professional development programs. The Department of the Year Award provides evidence that we are recognized nationally as a successful and productive educational unit. Our present approach to graduate education is working well and our autonomy as a Department of Clinical and Health Psychology forms the basis for that successful approach. The accomplishments of our faculty provide further evidence of the success of our current organizational structure as an independent Department of Clinical and Health Psychology. Our faculty currently has $4.8 million in annual extramural research support (including more than $3 million from NIH). These data attest to the quality of the scientific research that takes place within the Department Moreover, since July 1, 2001 we have submitted proposals for more than $10.7 million in new research initiatives. Our research portfolio is wide ranging and includes treatment programs for psychological aspects of cystic fibrosis and diabetes, stroke, brain injury, anxiety, cardiac disease, obesity, transplantation, cancer, childhood behavior problems and clinical neuroscience. Each faculty member produces, on average, 4+ peer reviewed journal articles published per year in some of the most prestigious journals in our field. Benchmarking data show that this rate is higher than that attained in clinical psychology programs at comparable institutions. The Department's students have, for three years, won every American Psychological Association Dissertation Research award for which they have applied and in the past three years seven have successfully competed for F31 grant support from the National Institutes of Health. In 2001, 59% of the students were an author or coauthor of a peer-reviewed publication. Rationale for Maintaining an Independent Department Psychology is an independently licensed profession in all 50 states. Offering doctoral education in the context of a fully autonomous department or school of psychology is consistent with this independent status, with national educational trends in the field, and with the educational/professional role modeling that forms the basis of our own training program as scientist-practitioners. Socialization as fully independent professionals and scientists is a core element in the education of doctoral level psychologists. This element is required for programmatic accreditation by the American Psychological Association. Our most recent accreditation review and renewal suggests that our present educational model, with an independent department of clinical psychology, reflects this national standard with distinction. We believe that our current approach would be undermined significantly if our department were downgraded to a division within another department whose dominant professional identity is within medicine, not psychology. There also would be substantial practical barriers to educational integration between clinical psychology and psychiatry. Our doctoral program offers the Ph.D. in psychology, and is a unit of the Graduate School. All tenure-track faculty in the Department of Clinical and Health Psychology have Graduate Faculty appointments to serve as chairs or members of thesis or doctoral committees. In contrast, the Department of Psychiatry houses postgraduate Residency and Fellowship programs in Psychiatry, professional training programs that are not a part of the Graduate School. Only a small number of Psychiatry faculty hold Graduate Faculty appointments, all such appointments being through outside departments (e.g., Neuroscience). Because physician education is administratively separate from the Graduate School, it would be highly unlikely that faculty in Psychiatry would participate directly in the doctoral education of Clinical and Health Psychology graduate students. Similarly, there is no substantive interaction between Clinical and Health Psychology faculty and Psychiatry residents and fellows. A key element of our scientist-practitioner training models is that we provide a 24 hour a day, seven day a week clinical service, under the direction of our independently licensed psychologist faculty. This affords our graduate students and interns real world clinical training in accordance with psychologists' appropriate place as independent health care providers. As noted above, this independent status is recognized by licensing statute in all 50 states and our faculty are independently credentialed on the Shands Hospital professional staff. Several years ago a Shands survey that rank ordered consultation services within the Health Science Center found our clinical and health psychology services were consulted far more than those offered by psychiatry. Our faculty and students carry on their clinical work throughout the Health Science Center with minimal overlap or competition with psychiatry other than appropriate clinical referrals between departments. Last year the Department of Clinical and Health Psychology provided care for over 12,000 outpatient and inpatient visits. We are doing very well providing high quality services to the citizens of Florida who seek care at Shands; we are doing very well training our students to be independent health care providers; and we are doing well receiving funding and recognition for the empirical research we carry out in the Health Science Center. Potential Hazards of Reorganization We believe that offering a Ph.D. in clinical psychology as part of a ""unit"" within a department of psychiatry guarantees that education and training in clinical psychology will become a secondary or possibly tertiary mission of the department because departments of psychiatry view the training of psychiatrists as their primary educational mission. Nationwide only one Ph.D. program in clinical psychology (Northwestern University Medical School) is housed in a department of psychiatry. Thus, 99.5% of graduate training in clinical psychology occurs in departments or schools of psychology (cf., Accredited Doctoral Programs in Professional Psychology: 2001. American Psychologist, December, 2001; p 1136-1149). Based upon first-hand experience, I can attest to serious difficulties inherent in that system, including uneven allocation of resources, tenure and promotion conflicts, and problems with faculty retention and morale. Moreover, the clinical psychology program in the Department of Psychiatry at Northwestern is ranked much lower (67th) than is its companion clinical psychology program in their College of Liberal Arts (tie 19th). This disparity in quality appears to be the direct result of conflicting educational missions of clinical psychology and psychiatry in the same department. Parenthetically, the Liberal Arts based program at Northwestern is tied at 19th with the UF Department of Clinical and Health Psychology in the US News and World Report rankings . Thus, it is understandable why not a single additional university in the United States has adopted the Northwestern University Medical School approach (psychology within psychiatry) as a viable organizational structure for graduate level education and training in clinical psychology. Conclusions Continuing to offer doctoral education in the context of a fully autonomous Department of Clinical and Health Psychology assures that doctoral training in psychology will be the primary educational mission of the department. We greatly value our collaborations with our medical colleagues. However, the faculty of the Department of Clinical and Health Psychology are unanimously opposed to having the department become a division or ""unit"" within psychiatry or any other department in the College of Medicine. I believe that a transition of Clinical and Health Psychology from a fully autonomous department to a division within a department of psychiatry will diminish the national reputation of our doctoral program, will threaten our ability to attract high quality graduate student applicants, and will cause an exodus of clinical psychology faculty from the University of Florida, along with their nearly $5 million in external funding. The overall net effect of these consequences would be to reduce, rather than enhance, our contribution to the academic reputation and quality of education at the University of Florida. I want to thank the members of the Task Force for considering these important issues. Again, I look forward to the opportunity to discuss these and other issues directly with you. I want to thank you for your work in this important task. Sincerely, Ronald H. Rozensky, Ph.D Professor and Chair .... Ronald H.

We all appreciate the hard work you are doing and the hard decisions you must make. In recent days, a series of questions involving Clinical and Health Psychology, an academic unit of the College of Health Professions, has emerged. Specifically, three live questions seem particularly relevant: (a) What are the advantages and disadvantages of moving Clinical and Health Psychology into Psychiatry?, (b) What are the advantages and disadvantages of merging all Psychology programs into one unit?, and c) What are the advantages and disadvantages of merging admissions units in several health science center colleges? I direct the Ph.D. program within Clinical and Health Psychology, and have been a faculty member at the University of Florida for 22 years. I have become increasingly concerned that these questions are being asked and publically discussed by the Task Force, yet, to my knowledge, there have been absolutely no attempts to directly talk with any representative of Clinical and Health Psychology to obtain their input on these matters. How in the world could you fully answer a, b, or c, above, without direct discussions with Clinical and Health Psychology? I know that many of us would be happy to share our perspectives on our profession and our program, and may have useful input for the TF to consider. I would cordially invite you and other task force members to visit with us to gain this perspective. For your information, the Department of Clinical and Health Psychology has two programs: a Ph.D. program that has been nationally accredited since 1953 and a predoctoral Internship program that has been nationally accredited since 1963. We have 78 matriculated doctoral students and 13 interns currently in residence. Every year, we have 30 applications for each seat available in the incoming class. Our students are among the strongest in the University, as evidenced by GRE scores, success in competition for Presidential, University, and national scholarships and research awards, and academic publication record. Our faculty is internationally recognized for academic and clinical achievements in health psychology, child/pediatric psychology, and neuropsychology, nearly tripling our extramural grant expenditures in the last three years while providing consultative clinical services to inpatient and outpatient units of the Health Science Center. I tell you all of this because I believe that a program's excellence in academic and professional training is dependent in large part on the administrative structure within which the program operates. In our case, our achievements, and our national reputation within professional psychology, have been directly related to our unique administrative position as an independent Clinical Psychology program within a health science center environment. This is not to say that we could not function effectively under alternative structures, but I believe that any consideration of consolidation or reorganization should at least involve direct, thoughtful input from the programs and units that will be directly affected. I look forward to your reply and to any opportunity that might arise to discuss these issues with the Task Force. Russell M.

VanSusteren, PhD [mailto:tvs@ufl.edu] Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 1:40 PM To: jglover@aa.ufl.edu Subject: FW: Adjunct Faculty vs Internet based courses Professor Glover, I have been following the work of the task for with great interest. I congratulate you on challenging the members to identify innovative way to make UF even better than it is and to identify strategies to make us more efficient. I read that one of the ideas being considered is the use of adjunct faculty to teach some of the lower level courses. Having served as an adjunct faculty member at the University of Wisconsin for many years, I find this idea to be a good one. While employed as Associate Director of Educational Services at the Medical School, I taught one course per term on educational measurement or research design in the social sciences. I found this experience to be very rewarding and a good way for me to keep up to date. I also was paid about $2,000 per term. I would also like to propose serious consideration of an alternative. Many of the lower level survey type courses could be offered as Internet based courses. Well-designed and administered Internet based courses have many advantages over lecture hall courses. I’m sure that I don’t have to list them for you. I’m sure that you are also aware that there is a great difference in quality and educational effectiveness in these courses. Simply offering a digital version of a lecture based courses is easy but lacks interactivity and learning experiences to keep the student engaged. Well-designed and administered courses take a lot of effort but have enormous potential. They can be “student centered” rather than the traditional “teacher centered” format. The course can be styled as a “learning experience” rather than a “memorize and regurgitate” experience. The course can be designed according to the principles of adult education to maximize retention and transfer of knowledge. Unfortunately, many faculty members lack motivation to adapt to a new educational platform, and lack the skills in instructional design necessary. The UF Office of Academic Technology performs an excellent support service but has very limited resources. I propose that a UF DE course template be developed (perhaps in WebCT) with a team of instructional designers and educators that could convert a lecture based course to an Internet based course with very rapid turn around.

UF is one of the few places in country wherein the academic health center has a separate psychology department; in the vast majority, clinical psychologists are in the department of psychiatry. More than tradition speaks for this arrangement. The allignment of missions (ie, patient care and patient-based research) makes programatic and pragmatic sense for health center psychologists to be in the department of psychiatry. There is redundancy and in some cases inter-departmental competition at Shands that could be eliminated. Furthermore, clinical revenue generation could be enhanced if the psychologists billed under a program led by the psychiatrists. Our skills are complementary, and we work most effectively on the same team. I would be proud to have Ron Rozensky join my department to serve as Associate Chair. I propose that faculty in Clinical & Health Psychology with a primary clinical mission join the Department of Psychiatry. Those with applied research interests whose substrate is the clinical population should also have their home in Psychiatry. I believe there is ample justification for maintaining a separate and distinct Department of Psychology on the main campus. The mission of that department is primarily education and research, not clinical care, and accordingly a hospital based practice is not essential. Some faculty in Clin & Hlth Psych might be more at home in Psychology than in Psychiatry. I can think of two disadvantages of making these changes: 1) negative impact on recruitment of post docs; and 2) negative impact on morale of some faculty in Clin&Hlth Psych. That department attracts an outstanding group of trainees, so that attention would have to be paid to ensuring stability and quality of training experience despite some loss of automony or identity as a separate department. To retain outstanding faculty, I would have to be active in reassuring them about my commitment to their careers. As noted earlier, some faculty might find Psychology on the main campus a more suitable home and I would be willing to work with that department in identifying the most appropriate disposition as well as to discuss collaborative arrangements. In summary, I favor moving many of the functions and current faculty of Clin & Health Psychology into the department of psychiatry. Some current Clin & Health Psychology faculty might be more at home in Psychology. I do not support dissolving Psychology, it has distinct research and educational missions that are not tied to the Health Science Center. I feel that the advantages of this consolidation of psychology departments outweigh the disadvantages. In addition to the econonies of scale, there are programatic and financial benefits of placing Clin & Health Psychology in Psychiatry. At your request, I would be glad to develop a more detailed strategic and business plan for your review. Thanks for your consideration of this proposal.

(Table 4) The trouble for women is not the lack of >numbers in the pipeline; the problem is that their status, once in the >academy, is low. > >Women are more likely than men to hold lower academic ranks and work at >less >prestigious institutions.

(Table 5) The more prestigious the institution, the >higher the proportion of male faculty overall, and, of course, the >reverse >is true for women.

And as is the case with academic rank and >institutional prestige, the percentage of tenured women at elite >institutions generally falls below overall national averages. > >Closely related to tenured status is the nature of the faculty members' >employment. The science and technology commission's study showed that >four >times as many men as women with doctorates in those fields held full-time >faculty positions. Women were less likely than men to be employed >full-time: >75 percent of men, 60 percent of women. Overall, women in the academy are >more likely than men to be employed part-time (45 percent versus 34 >percent); in fact, women constituted a larger portion of the part-time >than >the full-time faculty in 1999. > >At all ranks--across disciplines and institutional types--female faculty >members earn lower salaries than men do. Furthermore, the inequities are >progressive: that is, the disparity widens from assistant to full >professor. >In the 2000-2001 academic year, females, on average, earned $10,301 less >than men at public institutions and $12,895 less at private >institutions--and during that period, that wage disparity widened almost >3 >percent from the prior year. (Table 9) > > > >Minorities in the Academy > >In the case of faculty members of color, the academy does have a stubborn >supply-side problem.

The number of >minority faculty increased considerably between 1983 and 1993--by 44 >percent. But the percentage increase was much less dramatic--from 9.3 >percent to 12.2 percent, mostly attributable to gains by Asian Americans. >The proportion of black faculty at predominantly white colleges and >universities today--2.3 percent--is virtually the same as in 1979. Even >in >fields with a relatively ample supply of minority scholars, such as >education and psychology, the proportion of black and Hispanic faculty >positions at predominantly white institutions barely approximates the >percentages of nonwhites who hold doctorates or professional degrees in >those fields. > >Minority men and women also hold lower academic ranks than whites.

With the exception of Native Americans, however, the >percentage-point difference is not as great between tenured minority men >and >women as between all men and women (consistently 20 or more percentage >points).

This is stimulating and helpful. To get the maximum input to the restructuring process and to be read by the Task Force members, please send a copy directly to the Task Force chair, Dr. Joe Glover, at jglover@aa.ufl.edu Sincerely, Steve Humphrey ===================================== -----Original Message----- Subject: Odum: inputs to reorganization Information on Four Initiatives at University of Florida Howard T. Odum, (UF 1950-1954, 1970-present) February 14, 2002 This paper suggests four initiatives to increase research and teaching efficiency and adapt to the expected new energy-economic crisis. Perhaps the brief historical accounts below from my own participation are useful to newcomers 1. Prepare for A Prosperous Way Down Resource geologists agree that because of declining availability of fossil fuels, the global economy has to climax and diminish in this decade, although it will be masked by short term ups and downs in availability and prices. Therefore the university needs campus-wide projects consolidating knowledge, preparing society and the university to diminish without crash. See our new book of explanation (A Prosperous Way Down, Principles and policies, Univ. Press of Colorado, Boulder). ====================== 2. Restablish Energy Research Center for the New Energy Crisis The small Center for Environmental Policy could be expanded to a college wide Center for Energy and Environment with a new director or co-director to foster research to meet the new energy crisis. History: After the 197O's energy crisis, substitution of natural gas reduced fuel prices, and the Univ. of Florida Energy Center of the 1970's was disbanded. Solar research continued in the Solar Energy Centers (State and University Mechanical Engineering). Barney Capehart (now retired) operated an energy center from Systems Engineering for a decade. Energy Analysis Research that had been half of the Center for Wetlands was transferred to a Center for Environmental Policy in Black Hall in 1993. Its current emphasis is on energy hierarchy, emergy-- emdollar valuation (emergy spelled with an ""m""), publishing books and papers, and international conferences. (H.T. Odum, emeritus, is still full time director although paid by retirement agency; formal papers are co-signed by the Chairman of Environmental Eng. Sciences). Nationally there is little institutional memory of the 1970's energy crisis at the Department of Energy, where there will be confusion until they can evaluate alternatives appropriately, a specialty of Florida's center. ============== 3. Return Center for Wetlands to Four College Basis with Private Endowment After 30 years of extensive publications and public services, the Center for Wetlands is likely to attract major private endowment if it is included in the President's fund raising priorities. A book summarizing achievements is in preparation. The Center's Role has always been campus-wide and an appropriate structure can generate more research support. It should continue emphasis on Ecological Engineering. History: HT Odum founded the Center in 1974 with large NSF-Rockefeller grant. The regents set it up under 4 colleges(Engineering, IFAAS, Architecture, & Arts and Sciences) with an advisory board. On Odum's 2 sabatticals, the center was directed by faculty member of Arts and Sciences and one in Architecture-Planning. Dean Chen included it in his excellence program and gave it a hard money secretarial line item. When the Center for Environmental policy was separated, that line item was divided 1/2 to each center. During the Lombardy Administration, the cross campus centers were narrowed, and the Center for Wetlands became a one college center in Engineering, where it was not a first priority for endowment search. When Odum retired and Ronnie Best left the university, Tom Crisman joined as director and Mark Brown (previously on soft money) took the tenure track. The net effect was a loss of one faculty member (from 3 to 2). Both centers have emphasized the new field of Ecological Engineering which has a journal and new national society. By using nature's self design, ecological engineering takes on the larger role of accredited environmental management especially of the 10% of Florida's area that is in wetlands (originally 20%). With some support from four colleges, endowment of the wetlands center is likely. ==================== 4. Establish Campus Wide Graduate Environmental Science Degree To share and consolidate environmental teaching, and eliminate competition, a graduate degree in Environmental Science needs to be added as a third degree administered by the College of Natural Resources and Environment. A person from an existing department could be joint appointed to help the present Dean by managing this extra load. History: I sought an undergraduate environmental science degree in 1975 and became chairman of the University-wide committee of faculty and administrators. At the end there was a tie vote (medical member abstaining) and strongly worded minority reports, causing no action. Ten years later I initiated the undergraduate degree proposal again. At an initial meeting 300 environmental faculty turned up from two dozen departments. Committees were appointed and the present undergraduate degree in the College of Natural Resources and Environment was eventually established. In ecology (one part of environmental science) the university had developed a world class faculty spread in a dozen department, but this strength was not recognized because there was no labeled degree. I distributed a proposal campus wide, which drew support from ecology faculty and their chairmen. Eventually a graduate degree in ecology was added to the College of Natural Resources and Environment. The requirements are set by the environmental college, but the supervisors are faculty with space from one of the many collaborating departments. Nationally there is a major trend to set up environmental science degrees. In Florida universities and among University of Florida departments there is currently a struggle to claim environmental science as their graduate degree. Ideally environmental science requires some courses from each of the sciences that bear on the system of economy and environment. Students in the Department of Environmental Engineering Sciences have graduated with a mix that ranges from nearly all environmental science to nearly all environmental engineering. If operated like the present Ecology degree the new shared degree would give an environmental outlet to students in any department. However, a new mechanism may be required so that the recognition and funding that comes from graduate student head counts are shared by the environmental college and the department of the student's major professor. Centers and degrees that emphasize one aspect of a system of economy and environment such as water, electric power, transportation, economics, biogeochemistry, etc have their place. However, understanding, prediction, and policy requires the science of whole systems that combine the materials and energy (wetlands, landscape, cities, states, nations, biogeosphere).

There is real potential for UF to become a national and international leader in the field of environmental studies, which will certainly become more prominent as an academic field in the coming years rather than less. I have read Dean Humphrey's report and am highly impressed with his vision for developing the college. In contrast, I do not believe that merging CNRE into IFAS would be appropriate, since the two units have different (and in some respects conflicting) aims and purposes. The effect if this would likely be to weaken CNRE's innovative and unique programs. This would respresent a missed opportunity indeed. Thank you for your attention.

I am an affiliate faculty member of the CNRE, as well as of the Center for Latin American Studies. Both programs are similar insofar as they bring together a tremendous variety of faculty and students, both graduate and undergraduate, from different colleges, departments, and subfields. They (we) are linked not by shared disciplinary or methodological training or approaches, but by common interests in a subject area (the environment, or Latin America) which is best (and perhaps only) understood through a multi-disciplinary approaches. The Center for Latin American Studies at UF is widely regarded as one of the best in the nation, with an internationally renowned faculty, an excellent record in grant funding and student placement, and a vital presence throughout the university. I believe that the CNRE could also become one of the best programs of its kind in the nation, a model for the interdisciplinary study of the environment from the lens of the natural and social sciences, humanities, and a variety of professional programs and schools. In fact the CNRE and especially the Interdisciplinary Ecology program have achieved an excellent national reputation already, based largely on the quality of the faculty and the diversity of resources that UF provides for the study of the environment. However, the CNRE will be unable to achieve its outstanding potential, or even to continue to thrive, unless it receives much more substantial support in the future, beginning with its transformation from a ""virtual"" to an actual college and provision of the kinds of resources that all colleges receive: physical space, staff and administrative lines, support for faculty development and for graduate students, etc. Closer to home, I should note that the Department of Religion is now preparing for the initiation of a new PhD program, which will feature as one of its main specialties a unique concentration in religion and nature (or religion and ecology). This program will be the first of its kind in the country, and it has already received a great deal of positive attention. One of the reasons we can plan such a program is the excellent support in other deparmtents and colleges throughout the university. The consolidation of the CNRE will be vital for the success of this program -- which, like the CNRE itself, promises to do exactly what UF should do in its future: provide excellent education and research in areas which are of vital interest in Florida and beyond and in which UF has unique strengths.

The DoG is presently part of UF's CLAS. The DoG's educational curriculum is dominated by physical geography and the remainder is mainly sociological anthropological in affiliation. Frankly, this has proven to be an awkward fit at best. I believed that the University would be better served if the Business Geography curriculum - as well as me and my faculty line - were instead housed in UF's College of Business Administration. During the month of March, I have been invited to present seminars on business geography to: Haas School of Business, University of California at Berkeley; and, Wharton School of Business, University of Pennsylvania. I have been informed that both programs in these top tier Universities and Business Colleges will be adopting my book to be published this month by Oxford University Press: Thrall, Grant Ian. 2002.

I am on the Board of Directors of the American Real Estate Society and the Academic Board of the Appraisal Institute. I am a fellow of the Weimer School For Advanced Studies In Real Estate and Land Economics. I am co-editor of Journal of Real Estate Literature and am on the editorial board of the Journal of Real Estate Research. My full vita is available at my university web page www.ProfessorGrantThrall.cjb.net Also that web page includes links to the Business Geography program and curriculum at University of Florida. I am responsible for teaching the entire set of classes that comprise UF's Business Geography curriculum. The curriculum focuses on real estate market analysis - the location location location component of real state. The curriculum is also relevant to Economics, Marketing, DIS, as well as Real Estate. The classes are: * Urban & Business Geography - Geo 3602 (or Geo 5605) Spring * Business Geography Integrating Theory - Geo 4620 (or Geo 6938) Fall * GIS For Economic Geography and Business Decisions - Geo 5157 Spring * Seminar Business Geography - Geo 6509 Fall I have authored the books to be used as primary texts in future course offerings of all the above courses.

I have not recognized anything in Task Force discussions which would ""significantly reduce the importance of environmentally-related programs"". I believe that many members of the Task Force (including the Chair) share your interest in assuring the vigorous health of environmental research and teaching on campus. However, the Task Force is charged by the President with advising him on how best to carry this out, while simultaneously strengthening other important academic programs, and this is something members will consider carefully. While the Task Force has not begun a detailed discussion on this topic, I can foresee a variety of alternatives arising in the conversation. These will undoubtedly include (1) leaving the CNRE as it is, (2) changing the status of the CNRE from a ""virtual"" college to a ""concrete"" college by growing an administration and absorbing departments from other units, and (3) asking another college with interest in conservation and natural resources to embrace the mission and programs of CNRE and supply resources. In making its recommendations, the Task Force will have the difficult task of addressing many critical programs to produce a stronger whole. From watching Task Force members at work so far, I am convinced they are approaching this job with a tough and honest attitude and are developing the vision needed to achieve this stronger whole.

I believe that Dr. Humphrey is essentially correct in seeing the current CNRE structure as a dead end for natural resources education at UF. It was a good first step, but it really will not work for the long term. I also believe that options 1 and 3 presented in the report are also unlikely to work in the long term. A department of ecology within CNRE would duplicate effort found elsewhere on campus (Wildlife, Zoology, Fisheries, Center for Wetlands). More importantly, the model of an ecology department was successful in the days when we wished to address only questions that pertained to naturally functioning ecosystems. Those days are long gone, and our challenge now is clearly to understand and manage human-dominated ecosystems; this demands integration of natural resource science with the disciplines that can inform us about human solutions to human-dominated problems - economics, communications, social and political sciences. The third option, an institute, also has some problems for the long term. Institutes may be broad enough to encompass the disciplines outlined above. However, institutes also have a clearly checkered history on this campus, and in my mind are not likely to withstand the test of political and budgetary weather patterns. Similarly, institutes are often created for emerging disciplines which require the incubation of thought and creation of new syntheses that are otherwise unpalatable or not found in existing departments. While we certainly need the latter in any new natural resource institution, the pieces that need to be integrated exist in current academic divisions on campus, and most of the thought behind those disciplines is well developed. I don't think its necessary to set natural resource education apart in this way - we have the tools now, and we are ready to do the integration in a normally structured academic framework. The second option presented is the only one that is likely to succeed. This is in part because it institutionalizes the merging of disciplines and would be more substantial and permanent than either of the other options. The second option also has the greatest potential for creating an institution that is large enough to fully integrate the diverse expertise here at UF and within the federal and state research agencies located in Gainesville. In short, it achieves critical mass. Option two will do little better than what we have now if it simply merges the departments of Wildlife, Fisheries, Forestry and Soil Science. These departments have great strengths to be sure, but the essential failure of natural resource policy worldwide nearly always involves the inability to effectively mobilize and integrate human institutions, policies, and opinions once the recommendations of natural resource professionals are in. For this reason, we are guaranteed to fail if we do not also involve resource economists, political scientists, social scientists, and communications specialists directly in this new college. Similarly, I strongly recommend pulling in ecologists from the Department of Zoology. Typically the more applied departments (Fisheries, Forestry, Wildlife, Soil Science) have been weak in basic and theoretical ecology. Human dominated ecossytems are a brave new world loaded with ecological surprises, and the weakness of applied sciences is that they often rely heavily on past experience. Thus we also need the guidance of theoretical and empirical studies to help anticipate novel ecological possibilities. I believe a new natural resources college would be hamstrung if it proceeded without the influence of theoretical and basic ecologists. One can always say that the human resource professionals exist on campus, and that the members of the new college would simply need to talk to them more. The ability to talk has never been limited on this campus, yet natural resource professionals have largely failed at communicating with human resource professionals for the simple reason that the cost/benefit system for faculty does not require or reward that essential function. I believe that redesigning the benefit or evaluation system for natural resource faculty should involve clear rewards for integration, and clear costs for not integrating. The currently Balkanized geography of natural resource and human resource sciences on this campus makes it difficult for administrators to demand or facilitate integration, and putting individuals from these diverse groups under one administrative roof will be the only way to achieve this key function. The need for a single large unit is very obvious to me - its an all or nothing kind of solution. We have tried the model of diverse departments operating independently, and it clearly does not work. We have tried the model of putting a few ""like"" departments together (eg, the old fisheries, forestry and wildlife school), and this also clearly did not work. We need a sea-change in the way we approach the integration of natural resources in a human-dominated world, and halfway, compromise solutions simply will not allow us to adequately train the next generation of citizens and natural resourse professionals. I believe that this college would be relatively easy to create using faculty from existing departments. Initially, I feel strongly that creating the college administratively and organizationally is vastly more important than physically putting these individuals under the same roof. However, I believe that the future of this college would hinge on eventually being located within the same building or group of buildings. Dr. Humphrey's point about bringing the USGS, Forest Service and other local agencies into close contact with the college is excellent, since this has much to offer both research and education in natural resources. We have tried this model on campus before, and it has worked extremely well. Thanks very much for the opportunity to express my views - I'd be happy to talk with any of you if you have questions or comments.

The fact is that we do, but it's so new that it's still in its infancy, and largely unknown. A few years ago, Zoology realized that we were ""losing"" many premedical students, and others, because they looked for and could not find biology as a major at UF. In large measure, this problem was exacerbated by the general perception that zoology was the study of zoo animals, or worse, zoos! When I was a zoology major forty years ago it was the major of choice for premeds, but times (and knowledge of basic English!) have changed. Given this misperception, which was mirrored by UF advisors, many premeds chose to major in microbiology or nutrition. At the risk of offending various interested parties, I have to add that these majors also attract premeds because these curricula don't require the extensive math and humanities courses that CLAS requires (and we support). Nevertheless, to offer an alternative major that might ""retrieve"" some of these premeds into CLAS (while ensuring a more comprehensive education), the Departments of Zoology and Botany set out to plan an Interdisciplinary Studies Major entitled ""Integrative Biology."" This approach was taken because it involved relevant courses in multiple departments, rather than a major from a single department that did not exist at UF. Thus, we made use of the real strength of the breadth of UF life sciences. Such an integrative approach (which is what modern life sciences is all about) would not be possible from a single department, no matter how large. We found that we could not call the major ""Biology"" because the BOR required that such a major be from a specific Department of Biology. Thus, rather than spend time and resources changing administrative structures (the problems of which you are no doubt aware), we chose to formulate a new, interdisciplinary major. As you can tell from the pdf that I have attached, the major is comprehensive and demanding, just what we would hope our premed students, among others, would need. Unfortunately, this new curriculum has been in existence for little more than a year, so it presently has only 5 majors. I think that is the result of less than optimal advertisement and advisement. On the other hand, the major may continue to attract only limited numbers of premeds because other majors offer a less rigorous curriculum. Nevertheless, I don't think that either Zoology or Botany feels that the IB major should be made significantly easier. I would be happy to discuss this major in greater detail with your taskforce, as I will be doing with Dean Sullivan. Best wishes in your difficult task.

I may or may not have a medical appointment that we've been trying to schedule since early January. I'll call Monday a.m. and know then. Also, unfortunately, I have to go back to California (different place, different meeting from last week) on Wednesday morning. I'll be back Friday night, but will miss another task force meeting. I think that after that all of my pre-existing conflicts are resolved and I will make all meetings. In case I am not there on Monday, I think we need to get more information from the law school. That is, although I enjoyed the dean's rendition of what the top 10 aristocratic law schools are like (and I like it that Stanford was #2 but cannot understand why Yale would be #1), I think it served to suggest that we did not ask the right questions. And, of course, like a good lawyer, he just answered the questions we asked. I think we should now ask for a close comparative analysis, with data, of UF and the top 10 AAU university-based public law schools. This will be, probably, Texas, Virginia, Michigan Berkeley, etc. and it will yield information comparable to what we are getting from other colleges. I think the data should include information such as the size of the faculty (tenure-track and non-tenure-track, by ranks); the research productivity of the faculty and other representative measures of faculty research quality; average LSATs and undergraduate GPAs (of the students); additional degrees of students; starting salaries; size of support staff; size of library; average section size of first year classes; how written and oral communication and other skills-based education is handled; placement rates within some specific period of time (graduation; 3 months; 6 months; or whatever, the point being that everybody gets a job somewhere, eventually; the question is when!). It would also be responsive to identify the number of students in the certificates and post-JD certificates. Also, it would be responsive to identify the clinical education programs and how they are staffed and serve the needs of students and the public. I cannot imagine that we would end up with recommendations about restructing the law school, but I wonder whether they have given thought to reducing the size of the student body. That is, if, as I suspect, they are teaching an awful lot of students for the size faculty they have, and doing that in large first-year sections, I wonder whether reducing the size of the student body would provide a superb opportunity to radically improve selectivity and quality of the student body. Since the state is bringing two new law schools on line, and there appears to be no shortage of lawyers anyway, there might be an opportunity to vault the quality of the student body into much higher ranks. Of course, whether this makes sense or not depends on comparative data and how resources are driven out of and into the law school. But I'm guessing that they generate more than enough revenue to cover their costs and would do so even with a smaller and more selective student body. Just a thought. Most great universities have great law schools.

Leask took an unusual detour on the road to job security. She quit her job managing software development last year and entered nursing school. ""My colleagues and friends were shocked. I had a great job, but with the stock-market decline, I was very concerned about what the next five years would mean for the telecommunications industry,"" says the 37-year-old mother of three, who is attending classes at Grand Valley State University, in Allendale, Mich. ""I felt like it might be a good time to reach out into a new field."" Across the country, students like Ms. Leask are heading to professional schools to make themselves more marketable in a sputtering economy. Many graduate programs that struggled to attract students just a few years ago are doing a booming business today. Among the fields that are on the upswing after years of stagnating or declining applications are law, business, nursing, pharmacy, and engineering. Conspicuously absent from that list is medicine, which has lost some of its luster in the age of managed care. Some schools are just now seeing an increase in applications, while others caught the early wave of dot-com refugees, who entered professional programs in the fall. Although the economy didn't slump into recession until March -- after the application deadline for many professional schools -- it was already slowing down by late 2000 and early 2001. Layoffs in the technology sector were forcing many students and employees to rethink their career goals. At the time, Ms. Leask was supervising 15 employees and overseeing telecommunications and software development at 35 work sites for Herman Miller Inc., a $2-billion-a-year furniture maker based in Zeeland, Mich. The company, which is known for its innovative use of technology and Internet marketing, has suffered from declining sales in recent years. Looking for Stability Nursing was the field she'd studied in college, before the lure of big money and plentiful jobs persuaded her to switch to computers. But while her new field was losing some of its appeal, a nursing shortage meant that nurses were being courted like the geeks of the 1990s, with signing bonuses and multiple job offers. Even if it meant being off a payroll for several years, nursing school promised a fulfilling career that would weather turbulent times. The stampede to professional schools is reminiscent of a similar rush in the early '90s, when the last recession hit. Following are overviews of the trends in some professional fields: LAW: Applications to law schools are up about 21 percent compared with this time last year, according to the Law School Admission Council. This fall's entering class had about 4 percent more applicants than the year before. That's good news for a field in decline for most of the past decade. Law-school applications fell by nearly 30 percent between 1990 and 1997 before leveling off at the end of the decade -- about the same time the economy went into a tailspin. At Drake University Law School, four admissions officers have been buried under applications that are up 84 percent over this time last year. ""In the five and a half years I've been here, I've never seen anything like this,"" says J. Kara Blanchard, director of admissions and financial aid. For those just out of college, law school seems like a safer bet than trying to land a job. Scott Erwin, a junior who is majoring in accounting at the University of Richmond, had planned to graduate a year early and pursue a job with a major accounting firm. Now he's leaning toward waiting a year and applying to law school. ""Having a law degree would open so many doors,"" he says. Andrea S. Hershatter, director of the undergraduate business program at Emory University's Goizueta Business School, has had at least 30 undergraduate business students come to her this year requesting recommendations for law school. Usually, she has around 10. ""There are people right now applying to law school because it's the only credible thing they can see doing,"" she says. ""Their parents aren't going to support them to live at home or backpack through Europe."" And, since most top M.B.A. programs require several years of work experience, ""students are treating law school as the default option."" When students can't offer a good reason for going to law school, Ms. Hershatter urges them to consider other options, like working for a nonprofit group. ""I'm very concerned we're going to have a country worth of very unhappy newly minted lawyers."" BUSINESS: At the height of dot-com fever, many business schools saw their M.B.A.-applicant pools dwindle; the extra years of schooling seemed a waste of time when an undergraduate degree and a little technology experience seemed like a ticket to instant riches. Today, getting rich quick no longer seems like a realistic goal. A growing number of students are deciding that a master's degree in business administration will give them an edge and buy them some time until the economy improves. Sixty-five percent of the M.B.A. programs surveyed in April by the Graduate Management Admission Council said applications for full-time programs were up for this academic year -- the highest proportion of programs in four years. The council administers the Graduate Management Admission Test, which was taken by 12 percent more applicants in 2001 than in 2000. ""Whenever the economy starts to go into a recession, the early wave of people being laid off look to graduate school,"" says Susan Motz, director of admissions services for the council. ""If you haven't been laid off, you worry that you will be. There's also the view that you might as well be in school and out of the job market during a recession. When you return, you'll be in the right place at the right time."" Among the schools enjoying the rebound: the Columbia Business School, where applications are up more than 50 percent above the total at this time last year. That's a remarkable turnaround from last year, when applications dropped 16 percent. NURSING: After six years of falling enrollments, nursing schools finally had good news this year. Enrollment in baccalaureate programs was up 4 percent at the schools surveyed by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. The group doesn't track application figures, but they appear to be up as well. The increase may not be enough, however, to prevent a nursing shortage as aging baby boomers contribute to a growing demand for nursing services. A study released in November by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics concluded that by the year 2010, the nation will need one million new nurses. Nurses are grayer, too; a large proportion of the current work force will be retiring soon. Buoyed by an increase in nursing-school applications, Grand Valley State expanded enrollment in its bachelor's-degree nursing program by 33 percent and began offering year-round classes. Job security is one of the top attractions for new students, says Phyllis E. Gendler, dean of nursing. ""Nursing graduates can throw a dart on a map and get a job anywhere."" PHARMACY: An 8-percent increase in applications for this academic year was just the prescription pharmacy deans needed after six years of declining numbers. The upswing may cure some of the stress that pharmacists have suffered as their workload has increased to burnout levels. At the University of Maryland, the School of Pharmacy's Pharm.D. program saw a 12-percent increase in applications for the current academic year, and the trend appears to be continuing into next year, with applications up about 5 percent so far. ""I started out in business but switched to pharmacy because there were so many opportunities,"" says Elizabeth Stier, a first-year pharmacy student at Maryland. She plans to double up by adding an M.B.A. degree: ""I'm not going to have to worry about job security."" Pharm.D. applications are up 19 percent for next year at the University of the Pacific. Phillip R. Oppenheimer, the pharmacy-school dean, isn't convinced that the slowing economy is the major reason for the nationwide increase, however. It's also a product of aggressive marketing by pharmacy schools and drugstore chains like Rite Aid, which posts ads on its prescription bags urging people to consider careers in the field. ""I think students are finally getting the word that there's a dearth of pharmacists, and that the field offers some great opportunities,"" Mr. Oppenheimer says. ENGINEERING: At Michigan State University, applications for graduate engineering programs are up more than 20 percent for next year. At the California Institute of Technology, they're running about 31 percent higher. ""More students are thinking about graduate school because the employment market is a little tighter,"" says Anthony S. Wojcik, associate dean of engineering at Michigan State. Many of the engineering jobs that are available ""aren't the ones students want, so they'll defer for a few years and go to school,"" says Dr. Philip D. Gardner, director of Michigan State's Collegiate Employment Research Institute. ""If there are specific skills they're trying to develop, it makes sense, but if they're just going there to wait out the economy, that's costly and doesn't necessarily strengthen their position."" MEDICINE: Interest in medical education has continued its downward slide. Applications to the nation's medical schools dropped 6 percent this year -- the fifth straight year of declines. Among the possible explanations, according to Jordan J. Cohen, president of the Association of American Medical Colleges, the average debt burden of medical-school graduates upon graduation is nearly $100,000. What's more, many would-be doctors fear that managed care has put a crimp in physicians' salaries and at the same time created new regulatory headaches. ""We've had these swings before, and I'm anticipating we may be bottoming out,"" Mr. Cohen says. That raises a question about professional schools in general: What happens when the economy picks up, and job prospects aren't looking so bleak? ""It's part of the cyclical nature of our job,"" says Ms. Blanchard, of Drake's law school. ""We're planning ahead as though we won't have this kind of increase next year, and if we do, we'll just have to do some backpedaling and make some adjustments."" Meanwhile, as the surge in applications keeps admissions officers hopping, those in career services are working overtime to help nervous soon-to-be graduates find jobs. For them, it's back to the real world. _________________________________________________________________ This article from The Chronicle is available online at this address: http://chronicle.com/weekly/v48/i23/23a04501.htm If you would like to have complete access to The Chronicle's Web site, a special subscription offer can be found at: http://chronicle.com/4free _________________________________________________________________ You may visit The Chronicle as follows: * via the World-Wide Web, at http://chronicle.com * via telnet at chronicle.com _________________________________________________________________ Copyright 2002 by The Chronicle of Higher Education " glover@math.ufl.edu glover@math.ufl.edu SMTP jglover@aa.ufl.edu jglover@aa.ufl.edu SMTP CVM Task Force Response "Dear Dr. Glover, Attached you will find in PDF file format the College of Veterinary Medicine's response to the Task Force on the Future of the University of Florida as requested in your letter of January 31.

The agenda for would then be a brief sketch from each of us, as a forum for comments, questions, and suggestions for further inquiry from others. This is perhaps a good way to initiate the frank discussions that will be necessary in future meetings to accomplish our objectives. Certainly, more information will be available shortly afterward in the Deans' responses and hopefully our initial conversation will provide some better context for reading those reports.

We appreciate your concerns about taping the program – but we would like to go on with the taping on Wednesday mostly because we cannot find another time to tape. This will also be the last taping before the show goes into hiatus for a while and we would like to get the program on the air while this is on everyone’s minds. We are not really looking into doing a lot of speculation at this point – we would just like to look at some of the challenges that the UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA will be facing in the future and some of the tough decisions that the task force will have to make.

However, I do want to make a few comments which may cause you to reconsider the timing of this taping. You are right, that rumors have circulated. However, virtually all are completely premature. The Task Force has had only 3 meetings and is just now beginning to consider specific programs in specific colleges. As of today, no college or program has been discussed in detail, and no recommendations have been formulated. Consequently, while members of the Task Force can talk about the process we are beginning, there are no results we can talk about at this point. If you ask, for example, what changes might occur in the College of Engineering, or even what we think about the current state of the College, the response will most likely be, ""At this point, we don't know"". I am not trying to dissuade you from taping the program. In fact, I think the program would do a great service to the university community. I am only suggesting that postponing it three or four weeks will yield more interesting material for taping that might actually fill a half hour program. However, if you are determined to go ahead, I would be happy to appear.

In the same light, could we ask Win to discuss the ""State of RGP"" in the context of the synergy between the research enterprise on campus and graduate education? In particular, if one of UF's goals for the future will be to further increase graduate student numbers, what role will the resources of RGP play in helping to make this happen? We recognize that some or a large part of the growth will have to come from contracts and grants earned by individual or groups of faculty in the colleges or institutes. However, will RGP, for example, be able to use some of its discretionary resources to help expand the Alumni Fellowships, the Named Presidential Fellowships, etc. It would seem that RGP will be a vital partner with the faculty in the colleges to help make the growth of the graduate student population a reality. There is a 1999 ""update"" on the status of the Graduate School strategic Plan on the web site. Has there been any further RGP analysis of the strategic plan and what is Win's perspective on that plan? Also, there is continued interest in eventually gaining some type of health insurance plan for graduate students [and assumedly post docs as well.]. This needs to be done at the UF level, rather than college by college. Will RGP be taking the lead on this issue? There is already a survey being taken from among the graduate coordinators. Will the results be evaluated at RGP and then, assuming a strong response in favor of a health insurance plan, have them lead in developing a plan? This is a constant topic among our graduate students. Does RGP see the need for additional campus wide ""institutes"" in addition to those such as the Brain Institute and the Genetics Institute to help focus faculty interests in certain key areas? Will RGP be proactive in helping to move such new areas [e.g. nanoscience and technology] or rather be responsive to faculty groups that seek to have such affiliations increase? What is the appropriate structural relationship for such institutes? Should they report to RGP or to colleges, or does the theme determine the reporting line [and allocation of UF start up resources, direction of returned overhead, etc.]? These are some of the questions that faculty have asked me and talked to me about since the Task Force was formed so I am passing them along as possible agenda topics. Joe D.

The vision statement gets us started and perhaps at some point, as we do more detailed work, we might need to adjust it. But for now, we do have something to aspire to. It is perhaps not critical that we finalize the exact elevation at which our sights are set; that will evolve over the next few months, and, in reality, will probably end up being a ""range"" rather than a specific stratum. The first sentence of the mission statement clearly indicates what we are to do. The remaining sentences of that two paragraph statement identify several goals, which, if achieved, will enable us to achieve the mission. Those are the things we need to do, and do soon. In fact, now that the subcommittees are beginning to meet, and as we anticipate reports from the College Deans and our ""retreat"" in the coming week, the real dimensions of our task will take shape. Looking ahead to the retreat next Saturday, I checked some definitions of ""retreat,"" and was struck by two of the several entries in my copy of Webster's Dictionary. ""retreat 1. an act or process of withdrawing esp. from what is difficult, dangerous, or disagreeable..... 3. a period of group withdrawal for prayer, meditation, study, and instruction under a director."" Looking further, Roget provides some useful synonyms to the concept of ""retreat:"" focus and rallying point [which I find appropriate], among other terms including those that signify moving backwards, which is not part of our mission but which represent the more common use of that word!!

The Askew Institute organized by David Colburn, for example, regularly ponders that question and variations of it (and is, in fact, convening this week in Gainesville). I found the expanded vision statement on page 3 of the Strategic Plan for Graduate Education to be a somewhat more concrete and encompassing vision statement that might help direct us in our efforts... it's probabaly not as tangible a vision as that called for by Pramod , but it might be a useful guide in our analyses of what the Deans' responses identify as key issues in their areas....

I am forwarding a copy of your email to Task Force members for their information. Members of the Task Force had already expressed an interest in examining aspects of UF administration. Whether or not a subcommittee devotes itself to this task will be up to the Task Force members to decide. In the future, when you send a message to a group of faculty encouraging them to send me a verbatim copy of your email or to express their own thoughts via email, I would appreciate it if you would indicate the cc:list on your email. You did not, in your email to me. Sincerely yours, Joe Glover -----Original Message----- From: Steven Benner [mailto:sbenner@chem.ufl.edu] Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2002 1:16 AM To: jglover@aa.ufl.edu Subject: Presidential Task Force February 2, 2002 Dear Colleague: I have enclosed a copy of an email that I have sent to Joe Glover, who is heading a Task Force appointed by the President to ask what UF must do to join the ranks of the top 10 public universities. He has proposed that the Task Force establish a series of subcommittees to address various issues relating to this goal.. I have asked him to direct one subcommittee to evaluate the cost of UF policies, rules, and procedures that, for lack of a better term, come under the heading of ""UF bureaucracy"". Many of you have expressed the opinion, privately and in public, that UF bureaucracy obstructs our performance, and may in fact be the principal reason why UF has not already achieved the goal set by our President. If you concur, I would ask to either foward this email to Joe directly from your own email address, or send another message, of your own composition, expressing your concerns. Warm regards, Steve Benner Joe: I have had a look at your web page on the Presidential Task Force, which is charged with examining how UF might join the ranks of the top 10 public universities. I noticed that your web page did not mention a key problem that prevents UF from ascending to the ""top tier"" of American universities: UF's administrative bureaucracy. I believe that UF cannot join the top tier of public universities until it reforms its administrative culture. We all hope that a new President who has himself served at a top tier university will be a catalyst for a change in the UF administrative culture. However, it must be acknowledged that even the strongest leadership from the top, and the most aggressive push from the faculty at the bottom, can easily be dissipated by the lawyers, accountants, managers, and administrative staff throughout UF who create policies and procedures that obstruct the broader UF mission. These problems have resisted solution in part because UF administrators have been dismissive (or worse) of faculty concerns and suggestions to change UF policies, rules, and procedures to enhance our performance. We would therefore suggest that you also empanel a subcommittee carrying the title: ""UF Administrative Bureaucracy"" This subcommittee might be charged with documenting the damage that UF administrative bureaucracy does to our collective mission in service to the State and its citizens. To get the subcommittee started, please let me list a few areas where it might direct its attention: (a) This semester, UF will lose outstanding UF faculty to the University of Arkansas, the University of Michigan, Mount Sinai, and other institutions, some of which are not ""top tier"". The subcommittee should assess how much money has been lost through the departure of these faculty, especially money through sponsored research. It should also address the non-monetary loss to UF that comes when it cannot retain some of its strongest faculty teachers and researchers. The subcommittee should interview these faculty and others who have left over the past five years to why other institutions offer them more professional opportunities than UF. (b) UF Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer Policies, which centralize decision making authority within the UF administrative bureaucracy, have cost the State of Florida dozens, and perhaps hundreds, of high tech jobs. The subcommittee is asked to estimate the number of high tech jobs that Florida has lost because of its intellectual property and technology transfer policies, how much sponsored reearch dollars have been lost for UF internally, and recommend changes in policy to diminish similar damage in the future. (c) UF purchasing and personnel appointment policies and procedures. Even when Faculty raise sponsored research dollars, and are charged with acting as Principal Investigators for sponsored research grants, UF creates obstacles for how coworkers are appointed, equipment is purchased, and supplies are bought. The subcommittee would be asked to estimate how much these obstacles cost UF in terms of administrative delay, decreased research produtivity, and lost oppportunities for sponsorship. (d) UF administrators have in the past blamed the SUS and State for the inefficiency of the policies, rules, and procedures that they administer. Contacts wih SUS and State officials generally indicate that UF is itself responsible for its own administrative inefficiency. The subcommittee is charged with determining which organizations are indeed responsible for the policies, rules, and procedures that obstruct the performance of UF. (e) Capital projects. At the Genetics Institute meeting, it was suggested that a major building project is being assigned to contractors who, in their previous work for UF, delivered products with cost overruns. The subcommittee is charged with learning whether the administration of construction projects, bulding management, and other physical plant infrastructures serve the interests of the University, the State, and its citizens.

The President's document and your original memo have most of the elements. Let's extract them and identify them clearly and then publish them. The Grad School Strategic Plan, as Arnie reminded us again, has some good models and some of those statements could also be added to our statements. Establish a list of the Peer Universities that will serve as our direct or ""conceptual"" models. UCLA, Berkeley, Michigan have been suggested in discussions. My alma mater and former employer, Wisconsin, came up today. There are other ""peers"" waiting to be identified. Some of these peers won't be ""land grant"", and some may not be publics, but they may have some great elements in their structure that we could consider.Assumedly, if we cross-reference all of the Deans' replies to your memo, a ""peer list"" will evolve from them. Then we can compare and finalize, if that's what we think we should do. While your letter is going forward to Deans/VP's to stimulate data gathering, we could establish ""a list of more questions"" whose answers are needed to guide our analysis of data [as well as identify additional data needs]. Kathleen Deagan's comments about a set of questions arising from California's plan is a good example of ideas we should explore and then finalize onto our ""list"" [which can be altered as we learn more and see more data].
