[LIBRARYDIR] Cle- Former Associate Dean of Library Services at RTC

[Dawn Marie Lowe-Wincentsen]

Cle,
This very disturbing. II am sorry you are going through this on a personal
level. I am also disturbed as a library leader and wonder how this decision
effects rtc accreditation. We have seen combining of roles at other places
(I am over 10 depts) but it seems that leadership has an MLIS or library
experience.
Cle, I hope you find something that works for you and appreciates all that
you offer.
