Dear Community,

After receiving suggestions that Willard College might thin its supposedly bloated administrative staffing through Artificial Intelligence applications, the Office of the Provost and President’s Commission appointed a working group to study the matter. The working group, composed of seasoned mid-level administrators from the Office of the Provost and the President’s Office joined forces with colleagues in the Dean of Dean’s Office, the office of the Vice President of Vice Presidents Office, the Dean of Parking, the Office of the Vice President of Enrollment Management, and other key stakeholders.

After conducting a series of mathematically significant tests of savings analysis, the working group determined that such a move would be INADVISABLE at this critical juncture in the American Higher Education Landscape.

Inspired by the interest, we are studying AI applications with respect to faculty.
