                                                             ii.      prepare a presentation of faculty survey (and other survey?) results 

                                                            iii.      put in writing the few clear senses of direction we’ve been getting from our survey results, research, and conversations—structured in a way that invites specific points of discussion, not a full-fledged proposal to put before the campus.
