Glossary, précis help sort out Alpha-Bits
By Justin Harmon

An executive assistant of my acquaintance occasionally despairs of keeping track of the boss's administrative task force commitments, in part because she can't keep the groups straight. Given the possibility that there may be others on campus bewildered by the sudden proliferation of groups with names that appear to have poured from a box of Alpha-Bits, I have assembled both a glossary of terms and a précis of the administrative reform efforts they represent.
