&lt;blockquote&gt;The staff and board are overseeing the implementation. I would presume the faculty would not have the time to do that due to their teaching loads.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Who said the faculty had to be tasked with implementation in order to see the final plan and understand how it is to be implemented? Warren also suggested the people who pay tuition should be made aware of it, and they don&#039;t have a part in implementation either. This is about transparency, particularly among those who have a direct stake in the outcome.]]></description>

I do have other info. Faculty have yet to be surveyed (see the letter). A few faculty may have been consulted but that doesn&#039;t mean the plan was created with the faculty as you state it. It isn&#039;t widely available according to my sources.]]></description>

The plan was created with the faculty, so when you say to make it available, it seems they were in on it from the beginning. There is no reason to think it is not available, unless you have some different information.

The staff and board are overseeing the implementation. I would presume the faculty would not have the time to do that due to their teaching loads. Overseeing the implementation of the plan is an administrative function. Let the faculty teach. Let someone else handle the nuts and bolts. You teach, right? Do you really want to add overseeing a plan like this to everything else you do as a teacher/professor? I can&#039;t imagine that would be good from any perspective.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Good morning everyone,

I believe on how they address the problem demonstrates what the priorities are for the administration.  
Do they want to transform the work conditions of the faculty &amp; staff or get the Western Association of Schools and Colleges off there back?  Reading the report gives the impression that this is not a nice place to work. 

This sort of thing is pretty standard HR type of problem and the only thing you have to lay at Satan&#039;s feet is the pride of the Administration.
