As Tuesday represents the start of a new fiscal year, I wanted to alert
you to a couple of items of note:
First, we have decided that because of overall financial challenges,
both within and outside the university, we will have NO rate increase
this year. We hope that this will provide a measure of relief to our
entire user community during this critical time.
Second, after discussing matters with Dean Plummer and key SNF faculty
Members and users, we will reorganize SNF operation for several key
technical functions by combining process and maintenance together. I have
asked John Shott to assume the position of SNF Interim Director, and have
decided to step down as Director of SNF, while I will continue to
supervise the senior SNF staff for NSF-sponsored NNIN program and a variety
of collaborative research programs as NNIN Stanford Site Director.
I am confident that John and our technical staff will strive to make our
tools and processes meet the research needs of the broadest possible
research community.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact John or
me. We will each be happy to meet with you.
Thank you,
Yoshio
