Reengineering update

The Reengineering Core Team submitted its Phase I report to the Steering Committee last Thursday, May 19. The Steering Committee is now considering the report as well as further data and additional views before making their recommendation on the next step in the Institute's reengineering efforts.

President Charles M. Vest commented, "We are very grateful to the Core Team for their extremely hard work over the past ten weeks. Their work provides a strong foundation for us to move forward on the critical task of improving service to faculty and students.
