This is Chairman of the Board Manny Fernandez’s presentation to the Faculty Senate on March The positive feedback from the Faculty Senators prodded me to ask Manny to share it with a wider audience. He kindly agreed, although with some trepidation, as it is still a document in progress. The many numbers below should not be taken at face value. They appear for illustrative purposes. Also, bear in mind that, never intended to be a stand alone document, it serves only as one facet of his verbal presentation. Pierre Ramond
