SUBJECT:	Report of the Senate-Administration Task Force on
	Multidisciplinary Joint Faculty Appointments

In December 2006, a joint Senate/Administration Task Force was convened to examine the issues associated with fostering multidisciplinary faculty appointments across UCSD's divisions and schools. Specifically, the task force was asked to consider how we can remove or reduce the barriers to such initiatives. The task force has completed its study and submitted the report of its findings. I am pleased to inform you that the report is available at the following Web site:

I encourage you to read the report and to provide comments on the task force's recommendations. Comments should be sent to Associate Vice Chancellor David Miller at milleravc@ucsd.edu no later than Friday, June 29, 2007.
