Agree with many of the benefits that my colleagues have defined and I
would like having fewer requests to complete surveys as these seem to have
increased to the point of deluge and frankly a few have been rather poorly
designed efforts.

Grace Fisher¹s comments about dissemination brings up for me a rather
sticky issue to resolve with such collaborations = that of ownership for
dissemination and the creation of scholarly products.  Perhaps it is
because I have 4 of my faculty on tenure track that such a concern jumps
to the forefront, but it is a detail to work out nonetheless.

Perhaps this topic of conversation might be suggested as an agenda item
for the Academic Leadership counsel. What do you think?
