8. Other concerns Direct reports to provost New programs in the works
Some units sans colleges
Remaining colleges left broken
Chaos re contracts, budgets, P & T
Many faculty oppose proposed college structures
New programs in the works

Doctorate in Physical Therapy (1 director, then 3 TT 2 NTT)
Doctorate in Occupational Therapy (1 director, then 3 TT 2 NTT)

Great news, but transparency or strategy?

9. The current crisis Campus admin approval despite faculty no votes
Agriculture
Analytics, Finance, and Economics
Education
