I'm for circling the wagons, but I want to make sure that the danger is outside the circle when we do. Unless there are some clear expectations about how a GLO should do the re-organizations the right way and an understanding that they are supposed to rarely be done at all, I think we will all end up looking (and being) worse if it happens more frequently.
I agree though with the sense that the DePauw situation could have blown up in the press with any re-organization. Theirs was kind of a perfect storm of what can go wrong, but most situations would not have played much better in the press.
