Reorganization Survey

The administration, apparently in conjunction with the faculty senate, decided to construct a survey about reorganization on campus. Unfortunately, the survey didn't ask the questions in a way that will provide much insight into what's actually happening on the campus. I wrote the following comment:

I believe the questions in the survey are not the right ones to ask: The University has embarked on a dramatic reorganization with careful consideration of neither the goals nor the consequences. Reorganization may be one effective means of achieving various goals, but without a thoughtful consideration of the goals and the range of potential ways for achieving the goals, I believe that the institution is lurching erratically into the future, without being unified or deliberative in our actions.

Some of the questions that should have been asked, therefore, are "Do you feel that the process for reorganization has provided enough time to ensure that the university is moving forward appropriately?" and "Do you feel that questions raised by faculty about the reorganization process were answered appropriately or largely ignored?"

I believe these questions would provide a lot more insight into whether we're moving forward together than the questions that have been asked in the survey.
