Our Vice-Chancellor decided to merge us with CIS so what's the new faculty going to be called? One suggestion is "The Faculty of Informatics" but wtf does that mean to UK students?! My Polish colleague suggests it's a common-enough term on the continent but a quick survey of our students suggests they have no idea ... my preference is for something like "Faculty of Maths and Computing" or even "Faculty of Information Systems and Maths" (an "F-ism" <grin>) but I'm convinced that the "debate" that's being encouraged by management is a smoke-screen: we waste our effort arguing over relatively small issues while the management make all the important decisions without us and eventually (when we're worn down and permanently divided over this issue) they step-in with a "solution" that they had in mind all-along, getting it all done with the minimum of "moo". <sigh> but I hope I'm being too cynical and pray the University management will keep us all in the loop re. the new structure.
