All rights reserved 6 Overarching Themes While there is a strong sense of community within many departments, the strength of that camaraderie does not consistently translate to strong cross-functional collaboration or a sense of alignment across the College. Resource constraints particularly those regarding staffing and compensation are pain points for many faculty and staff. Faculty and staff would like to see greater communication from and with senior leadership, as well as a greater sense of alignment across senior leadership. Both faculty and staff express a need for improved communications. There is a desire for more transparency regarding the rationale with which decisions are made and an interest in greater participation in those decisions which directly impact their work.
