[Ocees] Experiences with Purchasing and Grants administration

[Roosenburg, Willem]

Dear OCEES Faculty,

On Friday the 17th I have a meeting with Howard Dewald to reveal some of our frustrations and the problems we have experienced with the new CAS purchasing system and general ability to conduct research as a consequence of current university operations and management. They want specific examples that illustrate our frustrations, so if you can provide some of those to me in writing I can pass those on to Howard with the hope that there may be a better solution. Feel free to share experiences with purchasing , grants accounting, OBI, and OIT; I think its fair to say we all at one time felt like we have beating our head against a wall. I think examples of inefficiencies would be received too.

If you will get that to me before the 17th I will collate and present them to Howard for discussion.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Willem
