<p>I was a bit concerned by this statement made </p>
<p>“Physics, less so; it’s currently having some restructuring issues”</p>
<p>as I teach in the department and am the upcoming chair starting in July. I have no idea what restructuring means?, we are quite stable and in fact will be requesting an additional tenure track position to potentially start in 2012. We also have an amazing visiting faculty member coming next year and one of our current assistant professors just got a very prestigious NSF grant which will allow for even more student opportunities to do cutting edge research than there currently are. So if we are “restructuring” its a good thing…</p>
<p>Hope to see some of you at Vassar in physics classes (we have many for people who are not majors as well)</p>
