10. Academic Plan – October 2000 Initiative #3: “Maintain ongoing multidisciplinary initiatives where appropriate and develop new initiatives that draw on University-wide strengths to attack major problems of the next quarter century. Create multidisciplinary centers that can attract additional faculty in key areas, helping reduce student-faculty ratios in high-demand fields.”

11. National Security “… a major problem of the next quarter century” … 9 / 11 / 01

48. Collaboration with DHS • Recent proposal to DHS to establish a department focal point for dealing with the academic community • Why? • Currently, there is no DHS (department-level) focal point, to coordinate all of the department’s activities with academe … research, education, training, and other support. • For example, there is no DHS focal point for implementing “Hurricane Katrina Lessons Learned – Homeland Security Professional Development and Education” (Recommendations 112-118) • There is nothing comparable to the Office of the Private Sector, under the Policy Directorate
