b.      Amy’s suggestion to form subcommittees to:

                                                               i.      prepare a boiled-down version of literature review that we can present in public to the wider university

                                                             ii.      discussion of public forum date.

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

                                                           iv.      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. 

                  c.  Where to go from here?
