Regent Farris emphasized that a lot of time and money had been devoted to the reorganization of Academic Affairs and that those recommendations should be followed. Regent Henry cautioned that the new structure is fine in theory but he is more concerned with how it works in practice. Dr. Thompson told the Board that the new academic structure is also designed to promote more trans-disciplinary work."
