Hrm.

As some of you may know, we currently are undertaking an extensive visioning process on campus.

...they're asking for money, but I can't figure out exactly what they want to do with it. I'm a pretty easy mark for things like "upgrade the ECE lab" or even "renovate the pipe organ" but WTF is a "visioning process"?

Thoreau said one should avoid any endeavor that requires new clothes; I'm finding it's also good to avoid any committee or individual that verbs nouns, much less adjectives the result.
