Update and more comments

• I met with Diane Williamson in RCOB and Kimily Willingham
  in A&S to talk about staffing in those colleges. I can't see how
  a college can get by without at least a dean (who teaches 1
  course per year), an associate or assistant dean (who teaches
  1 course per semester), and 3 staffers: a budget person, a
  scheduling/facilities/records person, and a staff assistant/
  receptionist. That would be pretty tight, but probably doable.
  
  For those of you with administrative experience, do you
  agree?
   
• Thinking about staffing brings us back to money, of course.
  Several comments have asked about funding. As we learn
  more about which departments go where, we'll be able to
  figure out costs. Remember, though, that the split was not
  motivated by or dependent on funding considerations, so
  our job is to find out what it will cost, not justify the
  decision based on its cost.
   
• So far, we've looked at faculty numbers and credit production
  hours by department to come up with department sizes. They
  track each other pretty closely, with some departments with
  peculiar pedagogical needs as outliers.
  
  Eyeballing budget numbers, they correlate pretty well, too.
