It looks like you guys have talked to a couple of administrators and took a big sip of the kool-aid they were offering. I encourage you to read between the lines of what the administration is saying, or better yet, go talk to some of the actual employees who will be affected by this policy. Don't settle for half of the story.

I agree with the editors when they say that Bill Weber has come in to take the reins and reorganize things, but I think more should be done.

I think there are services and other "necessities" that should be re-evaluated to see if they are really benefiting the faculty and staff at large. Students pay a hefty technology fee at this institution and I can say with confidence that many don't know exactly what they are getting for their money.

I think Bill Weber is starting to ask the right questions about technology and what is really needed and is working. I can only hope he looks deeper. Instead of "drinking the kool-aid" thinking that anything new or what other universities are doing is automatically needed for success.
