Dean's Notes
By any measure, 2008-2009 was a difficult
academic year for Washington's research
universities. The national economic downturn
rippled first through the state and then
through the universities. Throughout the
spring the University's bottom line shifted
as statewide budget forecasts worsened.
Fortunately, our university has sound
administrative and fiscal leaders. President
Floyd and Provost Bayly engaged university
stakeholders in candid and transparent
dialouge. The result was nothing short of
action oriented throughout the university.
I am proud of the leadership that was
exercised during that time. I learned a lot
about grace under pressure from watching the
actions of faculty, staff, students and
others that have fidelity to our
University. more

Excellence in Research
To quote Charles Dickens:
"It was the best of times, it was the worst
of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was
the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of
belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it
was the season of Light, it was the season of
Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was
the winter of despair, we had everything
before us, we had nothing before us...."
While the research world of 2009 pales in
comparison to the French Revolution I still
find the Dickens' quote compelling.
There is a tremendous amount of opportunity
today. Research dollars are flowing;
discussions of health reform provide an
opportunity to engange in meaningful
conversations with policy makers about how
our research evidence can guide them in
deciding what aspects of our old systems
should remain and what new additions are
scientifically defensible (Best of Times
scenario). more
