  4. Academic Structure Recommendations • Programs in DHA become departments in name and identity • Maintain the shared organizational and economic structure currently known as DHA. Figure out how to do this in an economically feasible way without massive changes in terms of time or money. There are issues of governance that would need to be resolved. Department directors should meet with DHA Chair/Head as a new administrative group. Departments should have a greater voice in shaping their vision.

  5. Recommendations (cont.) • Space and equipment • We need to have a plan and timetable/schedule for the move into a single building that will house the College of Design. • Increase transparency regarding financial status of departments and programs • Faculty need to know why and how decisions are made regarding program and collegiate budgets.

  6. Recommendations (cont.) 4. Work towards equity • Educate people about the value of teaching and research that occurs in all units of the college. Re-evaluate what is valued and considered successful in the college. 5. Increase interdisciplinary teaching and research • Increase flexibility in course scheduling, prerequisites, course level (i.e., 3xxx), etc.) and room in major programs for electives. Reduce impediments that keep students from taking courses that would be interdisciplinary if students from across the college take them. Provide collegiate incentives for interdisciplinary work.

  7. Recommendations (cont.) 6. Value Service • Elevate the value of service among other responsibilities (e.g., teaching, scholarship) to the college. Leadership opportunities need to be equally shared. 7. Identify clear goals regarding College initiatives and events • Clear goals and sustained effort are needed
