• All Centers and Public Service Centers are to undergo an external review; CCDFP is serving as pilot for this review process; should be done by 04-05
• Space and Technology Taskforce is starting: looking at how technology is used in Willard Hall; due to financial situation- education will stay in Willard at least 5 more years; Need to make accomodations for new faculty and make best use of salaried staff;

  • Original - appointment with a center from the start;

• Issue of perceived grade inflation - Coming from Board of Trustees as well as Chair's Meeting; problem since we have a high level of clinical experiences that are graded - that may contribute to the problem
