Why don't we just have the UI administrators not come in on Fridays?
 
Oh, wait, they don't' come in on Fridays anyway, never mind.
 
Best Regards,

Diversity-the condition of being different: Webster new Collegiate Dictionary.
I don't care what or who people are. I support the rights of individuals
regardless of who or what they are. As to the current office space. I have no
plans for them. If they are left vacant that is fine. Why is it necessary to
replace they with something? After all we are talking about cutting costs.

Office of Multicultral Affairs is up there and they have a huge stake in
diversity, but the other half to three quarters of the hall if the Dean of
Students office, which is a student issues office. They do have diversity
programming but they are more of an administration office for the Dean of
Students.

administrator go and I believe you could do without them easier than most staff
people.> I am not opposed to diversity. I think that it is great, but I
don't think that we need the whole west side of ( I think the second flour)
of the Commons devoted to diversity and human relations. It is fine to have
diversity, but the emphasis should be on merit.> Roger> -----Original

regarding you program cuts.!
 First,
you write, "To help save some programs and jobs. everyone should take a 5
to 10% pay cut. Less money is better than no money." I am glad to hear that
you are in a financial postion to take that kind of cut. There are many of us
working for the University that could not manage that cut. I currently work in
an IH position and have not had any pay increase in the three years in that
position. So sure ask the administration to take reductions, but the folks down
on the bottom of the pay chain can't handle that kind of reduction. >
> > > I also question your statement, "I don't think the
University needs that many people in development or diversity at this
point." I am guessing that your view on diverity is based on an older model
of diversity, that it is about skin color and gender. In my point of view,
diversity is more than tracking how many people of color we have on campus, it
is more than the number of women we have in the classrooms, diversity includes
all of us, it is rel!
 igion, it
is gender, it is white men over 40, it is women in their 20's,
understanding diversity is key in creating an environment in which students,
staff, and faculty thrive. We should be investing in diversity not cutting it.
That doesn't mean throwing money at it and giving it lip service, but really
assessing the incredible resources we have on campus and finding ways to use
them to bring in more students, to attract the best and brightest scholars. I
don't want UI to become a homogenized unit, with everyone looking, thinking
and> acting the same, there is no life in that. > > > > I would
also argue that this university if understaffed in terms of diversity
programming not over staffed. We are currently have two key diversity positions
on campus that are vacant and those vacancy are being felt. So please tell me
why you think we need less people in diversity. > > > > -Mo
