Carl,  I realize that you are quite passionate about this (as evidenced by posting the same response six or seven times in a few instances here) but I still don't get what you believe is truly in danger of being lost with a yes vote.

Of greatest importance however is regardless of how some may feel about what this restructuring will do to their positions within the university, what everyone in leadership wants is what is best for the university overall.  Increasing its stature as a major research center.  Increasing its endowment to a level similar to many (quality) schools that we would like to view as peers.  Increasing alumni involvement (which in all candor has fallen far short of any acceptable level) to a level similar to schools we want to believe we are on par with.  Those in charge have grand ambitions for our university.  From what I've seen, the people fighting these ambitions are more concerned with whatever small roles they have within the school than what is best for those of us who want to be active alumni.
