<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm sure you didn't mean any insult to the people
who have been doing this work for many years, and who have spent many hours
compiling this survey. You in effect said: I've been at this for
most of a year and I came up with a better formula last night!

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The whole process IS complex. Fortunately
most of the administrators have many advanced degrees and well-above-average
IQs. If the process is too simplified it looks like we haven't done our
homework. I've used both the CAUT Guidelines and the Steinway guidelines
and the comprehensive look of the report makes it obvious that we've spent some
time on this, and that we've consulted with experts in the field. I agree
that the CAUT Guidelines have needed some revision and some good progress has
been made this year. I don't think anyone can reinvent this wheel one
evening.</FONT></DIV>
