<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#0033CC">For a couple of reasons, I am cancelling our faculty meeting for this Friday.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#0033CC">My original plan was to have a discussion focusing on the results of the Employee Engagement Climate Survey; however, I now think it is premature. The Heads
of Departments met with the architect of the survey last week and our general consensus was that the amount of useful information at the unit level was small (relative to that pertaining to CALS as a whole) and that there was no way to distinguish input from
staff versus faculty. Basically, it was not an effective survey. I think a new, hopefully more interpretable survey is in the works.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#0033CC">In addition, I did not hear from anyone about items to add to the agenda - so I don’t think we need to meet. I will ask for updates from the search and School
Committees and share any information with you in my e-mail later in the week.<br>
