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.

I am really upset, Cle.

Since I've known her for so long, I will be writing to your VPI to express my dismay and disappointment.

We will miss you.

Dear Colleagues,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to share some significant news regarding my position within the institution. Today, I received formal notification that due to ongoing fiscal challenges, my position as the Associate Dean of Library Services has been eliminated. This decision is part of a larger restructuring initiative aimed at streamlining our operations, which will see the library department transitioning to report directly under the oversight of the Dean of Instruction, effective August 29, 2025.

Regrettably, this change means that I will no longer be able to fulfill my role as the state Chair of the Library Leadership Council (LLC). It has truly been a privilege to work alongside each of you and to collaborate on initiatives that support our shared goals in library services and education. I want to extend my heartfelt wishes for continued success to all members of the council and the institutions you represent.

Thank you for the valuable experiences and relationships. I will cherish the time spent working together.

Warm regards,

Cle
