TEXT OF EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT FOR ACADEMIC AFFAIRS PHILIP FURMANSKI'S JANUARY 26, 2006 LETTER TRANSMITTING THE PROPOSAL FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF A SCHOOL OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS AND ADMINISTRATION AT RUTGERS-NEWARK:


Attached is a proposal for establishment of a School of Public Affairs and Administration at Rutgers-Newark.  Building on the existing Graduate Department of Public Administration, the new School of Public Affairs and Administration will enhance Rutgers-Newark as a center of professional education, further engage the campus in the urban community, and increase the university's connections to the people of New Jersey.  I would appreciate receiving the Senate's advice on this initiative at your earliest opportunity.  Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Philip Furmanski
