[Plsfaculty] Time-sensitive: Addendum to Phase II document

[Betsy Arnold]

Dear all,

As you know, units across the College have been asked by Dean Burgess to
prepare strategic planning documents over the past few months (Phases I,
II, and III). The most recently completed document, Phase II, was an
'internal exercise' for faculty to reflect on activities within their
units. Due to time constraints, a document was put forward to the Dean
without review by a representative sample of our diverse School. The
document stated that its vision aligns with most School faculty; however,
on review it became clear that not all points in the document fit the
majority view. Because the document will become part of the public record,
we agreed at our last faculty meeting that it would be appropriate to
submit an addendum that corrects any inaccuracies. This will be filed with
the Phase II document.

With this email, please find a draft addendum. Its aim is to be brief and
straightforward. I would like to ask that you please review this one-page
document prior to submission.

*Please let me know by 11am on Tuesday, May 15, whether you agree that the
addendum is factually correct and can go to Dean Burgess (a note to
arnold at ag.arizona.edu that says 'yes' in the subject line is sufficient). *I
hope to submit a final version to Shane's office by tomorrow (Tuesday) at
noon, pending faculty approval. If there are major disagreements I will
work with Karen to coordinate a meeting to discuss those issues -- but we
hope that we can accomplish this by email.

If I do not hear from you, I will assume that you are comfortable with this
document being added to the public record.

Thank you to Tanya for her help in gathering input, and to all faculty who
have offered perspectives thus far.

Best wishes,
Betsy
