[COPLAC-IR] COPLAC Annual Data Profile...

Wed Apr 18 12:41:10 CDT 2012

Dear Colleagues:

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this conversation. There will be
a working session for Presidents/Chancellors at the annual meeting in June
and I will ask the group what they would like to see in a future data
profile. Given the short time between now and that meeting, perhaps it
would be best to follow the current model and revisit the question once we
have feedback from the CEOs.

In my view it would be great if we could bring some of you together for a
short meeting to talk about a range of issues related to future data
profiles.

Thank you for your time and effort at this very busy time in the academic
calendar.

Sincerely,

Bill
